I was introduced to this material from my practical life instructor, Don Czerwinskyj.
To make this, you need a small muffin tin. Mine is the 8-muffin size. You also need 8 wooden thread spools, 8 golf tees, and 8 marbles. Put them together in that order and see if you can get all of the marbles to balance on top of the tees.
I usually put this work on my practical life shelf in the spring. The children really enjoy it.
