make a simple seesaw with craft wire, a craft stick, a bead or spool, and two bottle caps. a slice of foam pool noodle (one of our favorite, most versitle craft supplies!) holds everything in place.
2
make a design-style seesaw with a cardboard coaster stacked on a plastic-lid for the base. then add a wooden bead on the top and use it to secure a craft-wire spring. top this with a jumbo craft stick and added simple seats at each end. seesaw, ta-da!
