I thought it a nice idea to take a common object and see what, besides their original use, we can do with it.
So, apart from the original use of a match stick (namely strike it and use the flame to light something), what other use of matches can you think of?
Did you build a doll’s house with them? Repaired your car using some match sticks? Alternative tooth pick?
Other things?
