Just because the 2010 Winter Olympics are over doesn't mean you can't celebrate at home by playing ice hockey in your very own homemade mini-rink!
Materials Needed:
- drinking straws
- scissors
- tape
- baking pan
- buttons
- small stick
Cut a straw in half and then cut twice partway up the straw to create four splits. Flatten those against the bottom of the pan and tape them down, these are your goalposts. Next, fill the pan almost full with water. Place in the freezer for a couple of hours. Remove from freezer and place on top of a table. Use small buttons for hockey pucks and a craft stick for a hockey stick.
Play until it melts.
