I used full straws and found if I didn't bend them to give them some flexibility, it was hard to pull and bend the fingers. Lots of fun though. My kids in primary school enjoyed doing this as well.

First attempt i had cut the straws a little too long and placed them too close together, which meant the hand did not open and close properly. After re-adjusting the straw size and spacing them out a little, the hand works great! This was a fun and easy task to complete. :)

Had my 11year old daughter helping. She had lots of fun. She learns about how the tender work in our hands and body.

Had fun playing with this. I found that I had to re stick the pieces of straw as the first time I stuck them a little to close together and it did not bend well.

We should have had straws for each finger running all the way to the wrist.

I had to improvise and use fuel hose. It was slightly to heavy for the paper. A fun activity my 7yr old enjoyed helping.

Tracey the string is missing because I pulled too hard

an interesting first STEM project. It made me appreciate the difference in phalange lengths . Not entirely successful at getting all fingers to bend independently but this would be a good lesson for studying complementary muscle groups.

I found this really enjoyable; the hardest part was working out how to get the strings to stay attached so I added beads. I also like getting to investigate which fingers are linked to eachother in our hands. I think making sure the gap between the straws is big enough is important for getting the fingers to bend properly
