Steps (to make bow and arrows)

1. Using a sharp knife (adult only), cut a 28-inch (71 cm) long noodle (fried) for the bow.
2. Cut a piece of string about 48 inches (1.20 m) long.
3. Attach one end of the string to a skewer and pass it through one end of the arc, about an inch (2.50 cm) from the end of the noodle (fried). Attach this end.
4. Repeat with the other end of the arc. Pull on the string to make a good bow that looks like the bow in our photo. The string should be stretched. Secure the end.
5. Now cut the other part of the noodle in half lengthwise, with the knife.
6. From each half, cut a thin arrow about 17″ (43 cm) long, forming a sharp arrow at one end.
7. Make a small “V” at the flat end of the arrow, so that the arrow rests on the string for shooting.
