My good old days back in Malaysia, we don't have lots of toys to play with, so we invent games.One of the game with empty cans is Tip Tap Toe (there are more games with cans, let's see if I have time to draw it all out).
We uses 2 empty cans, poke a hole on the bottom of both cans, string it together with a knot at the tips of string, then check to ensure it's secure, next, step on the cans and start walking. After a good warm up, the games will begin - we will race each others! My sister's E always win the race, some kids will use bigger cans to challenge her, but the tips is use smaller cans will walk faster!

Oh, May! This is really charming! Yes, I've seen this game, but I never tried it myself. I like the look of frustration on the little boy. When I was growing up, some of my favorite toys were the gears from a clock. :)
Thank you so much for your very sweet comments. They made me happy. You give me more credit than I deserve!
