Make your own: Bat ping-pong toy

What you need: 

• 1 x Ping-Pong Ball 
• 4 x Black Pipe Cleaners 
• Black Permanent Maker or Non-Toxic Paint 
• White Card or Paper 
• Non-Toxic Glue or Double-Sided Tape
• Pen, Pencil or similar for making holes 

What to do:

1. On one side of the ping-pong ball, poke four holes in a straight line using a pen, pencil, or something similar. Then do the same on the opposite side of the ping-pong ball. 
2. Colour or paint your ping-pong ball black all over. Let the ball dry before the next step! 
3. Push one of your pipe cleaners in through a hole on one side your ping-pong ball, then out through the hole on the opposite side. 
4. Repeat the previous step three more times for the remaining six holes and three pipe cleaners. 
5. Bend the pipe cleaners so they look like the legs of a spider, and so they support the ping-pong ball. 
6. On white paper or card draw two eyes, and a set of fangs. 
7. Cut out your eyes and fangs, then stick them onto your ping-pong ball bat.
