Feathered Darts
The Mandan and Hidatsa children of North Dakota made darts from deer antlers and feathers and slid them along the frozen ground or ice to see who could make theirs go farthest.
Materials Needed

Scissors

- Cut a large triangle shape from the side of the box. Roll it into a cone and either staple or tape it to hold it securely.
