YOU NEED …
2 x pulleys
with hook
string
small basket from
the cardboard
sheet
HERE’S HOW!
1
Remove the small basket carefully from
the cardboard sheet and fold it together as
shown in the picture.
2
Take one of the two identical hooks and look
at it carefully. It actually consists of a small
pulley wheel, with a large hook and a small
ring attached to it. Tie the thin string onto the
ring as shown in the picture. It’s best to use a
double knot. Thread the string through the
pulley wheel on the other hook.
3
The hook that has loose string over the
pulley can be attached to the top of the
treehouse as shown ...
You will also need: five large coins

WHAT’S HAPPENING
You’re using a “fixed pulley”. The pulley itself doesn’t move along, it just guides the moving rope.
Thanks to the pulley, you’re changing the direction in which you need to pull to move your “load”.
Instead of pulling upward, you can now pull downward. That makes it easier to pull, doesn’t it?
