Duckies

Quacking Duck
Use yellow plastic solo cups. Decorate to look like a duck, cup is upside down. Teacher pokes a small hole in the bottom of the cup. Thread a piece of string through the hole and have it dangle out the bottom of the cup. Knot the top so string will stay. String needs to hang down 8 or 10 inches. tie a small piece of sponge on the end of the string. To make the duck "quack," moisten the sponge and use the sponge to grab the string, then jerk the sponge pulling it down the string.
