While making the "job bucket" I had a bunch of left over punched circles and wasn't sure what to do with them, so we made a game...
This project took less then 5 minutes... Kids can help cut, punch or decorate.
- Take 10 Circles (punched or cut out of paper about 2 inch diameter each)
- Tape them end to end like an Accordion
- If you do it right, they will fold up and spring open
- Use the sheet that you cut the circles from and draw a bullseye in the middle.
- Draw several shapes around the paper and assign different points to each shape. (squares 5 points, triangles 2 points, etc.) We made our bullseye be 20 points.
- Stand back and drop or throw the accordion circle, and it will fling on to the paper.
- The whole family can play and add points. The first to 100 wins...
- For the little guys, just let them practice their coordination, it may take a while to make points. So don't make a winner or loser, just let them play
- For older kids, it can be quite challenging as the accordion springs in all directions but the one you want it to go
Veg also decorated the Accordion thing, we called it a book, and he colored a story on every circle (page) of the book. Then he read me his story.
This 5 minute project has lasted us about 45 minutes of entertainment so far and I don't think were done.
Have Fun!
