How-to: Holiday Grab Game

Submitted by J.R. Logan on

 

These are instructions on how to make a game called Holiday Grab. It is like the classic game of Operation but in this version you are carefully lifting ornaments of the tree and presents from under the tree. … You can think of it as pretending sneaking a peek at some presents without your parents waking up.

It is a great project because it is simple to build and is a way to teach the kids some some simple electronics and can be built with mostly household materials. You will need hot glue gun, Cardboard, aluminum foil, tweezers, wire and AAA batteries.

You will also need a battery container
