Generally, gravel, abductor (talus), seeds, cloth, metal or plastic bullets are used, and some can add a ball. Objects for catching children were found in caves inhabited by prehistoric humans in Kiev, Ukraine, and there were patterns for catching children on ancient Greek pottery pots.

At this time, pick up another bag from the table first, and then pick up the dropped bag; Repeat, pick up all the bags on the table and hold them in your hand.
