Build the Tracks

Stick the corrugated strips along the curved edges of both rings using Fevicol MR to create raised rolling tracks.

Paint and Decorate

Paint the tracks and ball using colours from the Fevicryl Acrylic Colours. Add road markings and decorative dots to complete the design.

Play the Game

Place the painted ball on the track and tilt the game to guide it through the curved pathway. Your colourful Science Day corrugated game is now ready to play!
