Making a simple Jack in a Box

Put glue onto a toilet roll 
Wrap around some material or even a dish clothe 
Material needs to be about 5 cm longer than the roll and glue up the centre 
Put a pencil into the roll and put the material over it from both sides. It’s best to glue it down with UHU onto the pencil 
A happy looking rubber pressed down on top with glue to secure it . Put your own drawn face on the rubber if you wish. 
Pull the stick up and down and sing your peekaboo and jack in the box songs 
Jack in the box jumps up like this
Jack in the box jump up tall
Where do you think our jack is hiding
Peekaboo songs
Goodbye
