What you do (Pull down, lift up): 1. Push the pencil through the thread reel; an adult holds the pencil ends level. 2. Tie the paper cup to one end of the string and lay the string over the reel. 3. Put coins in the cup and pull the other end down. 4. Feel how hard you pull; never stand under the load or wrap string round your fingers.
