Here Coffee-Can. Here, boy. Sit! Roll over! Good Coffee-Can.
- an empty coffee can with the top and bottom cut off
- 2 coffee can tops
- 20 pennies
- 2 rubber bands
- scissors
- a vivid imagination
- Check with a grown-up before you get started. You'll need a grown-up to help you get your coffee can ready.
- Poke 2 holes in the middle of each of the coffee can tops.
- Cut each rubber band.
- Slip the rubber bands through the holes in each of the lids so the ends dangle inside.
- Put one lid on the can.
- Tie the ends of two rubber bands together by making a square knot.
- Stack 20 pennies and tape them together.
- Tape the stack of pennies between the two rubber bands.
- Put the second lid on the can and roll the can away from you. The rubber bands twist up. When you let go of the can, the rubber bands untwist and the can should come back like a pet.

The directions were hard to understand because it didnt say where to tape the pennies and the direction to tape them in. After many times of retrying it worked but the directions werent clear at all and I needed help.

I made one with an ovaltine can. The instructions were a little confusing, but It worked! My tech teacher had us make this as an extra credit! I'm so glad I decided to do it.

When I did it I put like little sticks so it could look like the feet of the dog. After that I put a 5 feet threat.

It worked really well. I followed the instructions and added some of my own: put black spots on a piece of white paper and wrap the can in it; put a circle of white paper on each end of the can and add a face with whiskers and a tail out of pipe cleaners. Name your pet! Mine was Rolly (Watch out! He/She can sometimes be stubborn)! Thabanks!

I did this. It was so neat. I think my weight was a little too heavy, becuase it came back a little slower than it did on the show.

Mine was really stinky. It did not work good. I thought it was a weird idea.
