You will use your fingers/hand to place one of your colored balls on the bottom hand in your chosen column.

Placing a ball on the bottom hand — The blue player has placed their first ball on the bottom hand in their chosen column.

Once you have placed a ball on the bottom hand and it stays in place, you can move onto placing a ball onto the second hand. This continues as you move up one hand at a time.

Placing a ball into one of Giggle Wiggle's hands — For their second ball the blue player places it on the hand above the hand they placed the previous ball on.

While you are placing marbles, Giggle Wiggle will turn making it harder to place the balls. If any of your marbles should fall off of one of the hands, you need to replace that ball before you place the next ball.

Resetting a ball — The blue ball on the third hand has fallen off. The blue player has to place a ball back on that hand before they can continue placing balls on other hands.
