thread loop is an amazing toy for asthmatic kids.you just need a good quality fat straw,
scissors and a pencil. cut the straw of about 15cms, make a hole with the pencil point and
keep rotating the pencil unless you get a neat and rounded hole. put a 60cm long cotton
thread and weave it through and tie a reef knot with both the ends of the thread. the
tinier the knot, the better it is. because the knot has to go through the hole, if it
is big it will not go through the hole. trim both the ends to make it really tiny. then
if you blow through the straw, the whole loop of thread will go round and round. instead
of thread you can use colored wool. its a wonderful exercise for the lungs.
