The Flour Game

The other day we decided to teach the boys how to play the flour game.  They thought it was pretty funny.  If you've never played, here's how it goes.
You put a coin (we used a quarter) in the bottom of a container and then fill the container with flour and pack it down.  Flip the container over and remove it.  You should have a nice flour form with the coin resting on top.  The players take turns slicing off a chunk of flour.  The person who makes the coin fall has to remove it without using their hands.  Although most people try to NOT make the coin fall, my boys were soon TRYING to make it fall so they could dig it out.  Crazy boys!!  They wanted to play over and over, we finally made them stop to go to bed. 
It may not be anything we play again soon, it made a HUGE mess and we had flour everywhere.  But it was very entertaining, maybe we will play again but keep it outside.
Here's some shots of the action.
