Make your own Corky the intrepid zip wire adventurer

This is Corky...like I used to make when I was a kid.

      You'll need:

• A cork 
• A wire champagne holder thingy (nerdy technical term there)
• Matchsticks
• A glue gun
• Wool scraps
• A black felt tip
• A long piece of string

Draw a face on the cork.

Corky can be a girl.

Cut small lengths (shorts :o) of wool for hair.

Glue them on with a parting in the middle if you like.

Either glue the matchstick arms and legs on or poke them into holes
you make with a sharpish skewer (get an adult to this perhaps).

And this is what he looks like.
Seat him in the wire cork holder,
twist a loop in the back of it, poke a length of string through
the loop and stretch the string between two trees, top to bottom,
 so there's a steep angle on the string.

Give him a minute to load up... and watch Corky go!
