Cotton
reel (or 35mm film case), elastic-band, pencil, eraser, small piece of
plastercine.
Instructions:
Put the elastic
band through the center of the cotton reel. Loop one end around an eraser
and put a pencil through the loop at the other end. Wind up the elastic
band by rotating the pencil. Add the plastercine counterbalance to stop
the pencil flipping. Place it on the floor and watch it go!
