Bounce-’n’-Toss Game

What You’ll Need:

• paint
• cardboard drink carrier
• marker or paint
• aluminum foil, paper, or table-tennis ball

How to Make It:

1. Paint the bottom of the cup holes and middle section of a cardboard drink carrier. Let it dry.

2. Number the sections, using paint or a marker.

3. Wad a clean scrap of aluminum foil or paper into a ball, or use a table-tennis ball. Put the ball in the center of the carrier.

To play alone, bounce the ball from the center into each section in numerical order. Or toss the ball into the air with one hand, and see how high a score you can get with the carrier held in the other hand.

To play with a friend, have one person toss the ball and the other catch it in the carrier to score team points. Or, to play against each other, make two carrier games, and see who can score the most points or complete the numerical bounces first.
