This is a quick and easy to make slapstick.

A) Buy a packet of hardwood paint stirrers from Homebase. They come in packets of three and cost under £2.
B) Cut off the handle section from one of them. If you haven't got a saw then score heavily with a sharp knife, then snap off.
C) Assemble the two stirrers with the short bit sandwiched between them. Bind all three tightly together with brightly coloured PVC insulating tape.
You can also glue them if you have glue available.
