In our Happy Issue (#11), we've got an A-Z happiness guide, to help you find more fun and have more deep-down joy. One way is to find "flow" by doing something so interesting and challenging that you lose all track of time. Scientists say the more flow you can find, the happier you'll be. This "Swing Thing" is flow itself: a rubber band-powered motion machine that is fun to make and even more fun to watch. With every twirl, the bell gives the pencil a big wrap-around hug. To make this, you'll need: a shoebox, a plastic cup, a rubber band, 3 large nuts, a jingle bell, a washer, a pencil, a wooden skewer, string, glue (a glue gun works best), and scissors.
Pick up our Happy Issue (#11) to find even more joy.
