To make the squirrels: Use a pencil to poke a tail hole in
one side of each cup, then paint the cups. For each squirrel, cut
a face, ears, and a tail from brown felt. Once the paint dries,
glue the faces onto the cups, then glue the eyes, ears, and
pom-pom noses onto the faces, trying to make the squirrels look
identical for a better game. Fringe the edges of the felt tails
and glue a piece of pipe cleaner in the center of each, letting a
1/2-inch stem extend beyond the bottom. Attach each tail by
inserting the stem through the hole and gluing it to the inside
of the cup. |

To play the game: With the other players watching, place a
nut on the table and cover it with one of the squirrels. Now
begin sliding the squirrels around the tabletop, weaving them
around each other to make the other players lose track of which
squirrel has the nut. The faster you move them, the more likely
you are to distract your audience. After a while, stop and
challenge one person to guess which squirrel hides the nut.
