Pea-killer-machine (for birthdays and celebrations)

Glue the round-wood as in the above picture using the glue gun or nail it from underneath.

Attach the round wood to the aquarium/garden hose using the elastic bands. Tie a rope around the paint brush/broom and nail it to the pea-killer-machine. The machine looks very funny if you stick card/paper cut outs of the head’s of famous people at the top of the hose i.e. Like ‘pea-spitters’.

Place the raw peas into the top of the hose, the player has to try and catch the peas with a rubber hammer and remove any bits with the paint brush/broom.
