This is a fun project that will keep the kids entertained long after the project itself is completed. You will need panty hose, a wire coat hanger, and duct tape.
Take the wire coat hanger and bend it into a diamond shape. Squeeze together the bottom three inches or so of the diamond (the hook of the coat hanger will be below the portion that you squeezed together).
Cut one leg off of the panty hose, and pull this down over the diamond shaped coat hanger. Tape the bottom with duct tape to secure it. Also tape the handle of the racket, which is the portion that you squeezed together.
Your racket is complete! Use it to lob badminton birdies back and forth.
For added fun, you can decorate one side of the racket (this would be the side you do not hit the badminton birdies with). You can use wiggly eyes, construction paper that is glued to the panty hose, yarn, buttons, or anything else that comes to mind. If using construction paper, of course have your child color or paint the construction paper with an original design. Also, you can use glitter, ribbons, bows, and the like.
You can either use an existing badminton net, or get creative. A laundry line will work, or even a stationary object to hit over such as a parked car. Of course, none of this is necessary at all - lots of fun can be had just hitting the badminton birdies back and forth to each other!
You can make up games and contests as well. For example, you can have juggling competitions where you see who can "juggle" the badminton birdie the most times by hitting them vertically over and over again, similar to juggling a soccer ball with your feet. You can play with multiple players, either in teams, or "passing the potato" in a predetermined order. The possibilities are endless, the only limitation is your imagination!
