Mr. Bottle Bones

What can you do with a bunch of these?

The same thing we did a long time ago when we were living in San Diego. Dude doesn't even remember it because he had just turned one when we left to go to South Carolina.

But we made one of these to hang on our pomegranate tree there...

His name is Mr. Bottle Bones. I had printed the instructions and left them in our Halloween decorations box. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they still have the directions online too, albeit in a different place than before.

The Rugrat thought it was fun. She keeps referring to him as "hunging in dining oom" and slapping at his feet and hands.

You can find directions to make one here. Even though the older ones are too dignified to acknowledge that Mr. Bones is cool, they can't help but mess with him every time they get near.
