Thinking of the holidays already? And how you’re going to keep the kids busy? And how much its going to cost you? Well why not get the little ones to make their own “pick up stix”. Remember that game from your childhood? So usually its these longish plastic knitting needle lookalikes that get tossed on the table and each player has to pick one up without moving the others. The player with the most sticks wins.

In this version, we’ve used some items that you can find around the home to make a DIY version of the game. Get the kids to paint the sticks too. And get playing!
