This Parrot Chute game is fun to make and fun to play. The aim of the game is to parachute a parrot onto a leafy nest, and try to avoid the hungry hippo mouths! For the parachute, cut a 30cm square from a plastic bag. Now cut four 30cm lengths of cotton. Tape a piece of cotton to each corner of the square. The body of the parrot is made from a brightly coloured bead. Thread all the pieces of cotton through the bead. Then add a smaller bead for the head. The parrot's beak is made from a piece of foam and stuck on with some double-sided tape. Stick on some wobbly eyes as well! Add some coloured feathers to the top and bottom of the parrot for plumage. To make the leafy nest targets, cut out three different sized circles of coloured card. Decorate them with green card leaves outlined with black marker pen. For the hungry hippo mouths you'll need two baked potato containers - or fruit punnets work as well. They're a brilliant hippo shape. Put one punnet on top of the other - with the shallow end of one box meeting the deeper end of the other, like this. Hinge the punnets together with strong tape. Use polystyrene balls to make the eyes, and attach them with double-sided tape. And the hippo ears are made from coloured card or foam. The nostrils are made from film canister lids. Complete your hippo with some teeth made from white foam and a pink foam tongue. Make as many nests and hippos that will fit in your playing area. Why not make some lakes for your hippos? For extra Parrot Chute fun give the nests and hippos scores. If you land on a nest you get 100 points... ...but watch out for the hippos, if you land in their mouths you lose all the points! Oh no!
