How to Make a Balance Scale for Kids: 9 Steps (with Pictures) To make a balance scale for kids, start with 2 paper cups and punch 2 holes on opposite sides of each cup, close to the rim, to make buckets. Then cut 2 pieces of twine to about 1 foot each, making sure they're exactly the same length. Next, pair each piece of twine with a cup and tie the ends of the twine through the holes to make handles. www.wikihow.com
