That was my thought exactly when I saw the pic at the top.  "...you can't lose the ball because it's attached to the string.."
 
and sadly, I'm old enough that I actually have played with the ball on a string toy for fun (we didn't have xbox when I was a kid.  Walked uphill to school in 4' of snow, blah, blah, blah....)

 Well, presumably you start by jamming the red shiny ball in her mouth and wrapping that elastic round the back of her head.
 
Not sure where it goes from there.  Maybe someone from Minnesota can help us out.
