SUMMER ACTIVITY FOR YOUR CHILDREN - Letni Aktivita Pro Vase Deti

Set up one fun and calm activity for your children this summer as Mr. Gary Duschl of Virginia Beach, Virginia shows you in his video. Friends and siblings can have a contest who will make the longest Gum Wrapping braid during their summer.BTW you do not have to use gum wrapper, you can make your own "paper" - use your imagination what you will use instead of the gum wrapper.

Few facts about Mr. Duschl's braiding activity:

• Began braiding it on March 11, 1965--that’s 45 years ago--and is measured annually on that date by officials. The braider has spent over 24,000 hours working on this project
• Currently, it is 63,527 feet long
• That is equal to 12 miles, or 19.3 Kilometers
• It is equivalent to the length of 211 football fields, or 192 soccer fields, or 317 hockey rinks, or even 43 Empire State Buildings stacked up one on top of the other
• The braid is over twice as tall as Mt. Everest
• The entire braid weighs 882 lbs or 400 kilograms
• The braid contains over 3 million links from 1.5 million gum wrappers (2 links per wrapper)
• That’s over $105,000 worth of gum
• The gum alone would weigh over 5 tons
• If the braid was laid out along a highway, it would take 12 minutes to drive the length going 60mph; if you preferred walking, it would take you over 5 hours
• The braid is stored in 11 large plexi-glass cases and occupies 74 cubic feet of space

And here is his video:
