I saw the Pringles Ring Challenge on Facebook, and I thought that is one I have to try with my girls. So, this week I bought 3 packets of pringles and we gave it a go.
Obviously, the first thing to do when given a packet of pringles is to empty them everywhere...
though I can attest to the fact that this step doesn't have to be done, as I didn't.

The trick is to build the bottom layer thick enough to carry the weight of the pringles that are building up the sides. Layer them, as if you are building a wall, so they overlap and hold firm. (Though firm is relative in this case, as all three of us have experiences the pringles toppling sideways.)
DD2 has a gentler touch than DD1, and is well known in our family for balancing things, or building tall towers from bricks, even when she was pretty young. DD1, otoh, was getting frustrated, until she use her brain and was able to make a pringles ring very easily.
Not sure that was was was expected from the challenge, but is a pringles ring nonetheless!
DD2 and I continued. It looked like everything was going well for me, until I noticed that the two sides of my ring were unequal heights.
After a bit of readjustment, I managed to fix and complete my ring.
It only had one pringle on the top, so I wanted to make it a bit thicker. This cockiness caused it all to collapse, but at least I have photographic evidence that I did succeed!
At this point, DD1 and DD2 were turning the table into a campsite by building tents out of pringles.
Eventually, though, DD2 had another go, mixing two different flavours of pringles, and managed to make a heart. The camera angle doesn't do it justice, so you may need to use your imagination a bit.
