Shoebox ball game

1. Cut the two edges of the shoebox lid to make the compartments inside the box for the ball to run through. Make sure you place the side with the lip outwards to avoid the ball to fall out.
2. Cut a hole big enough for the ball to pass through on the top of the box and on each of the compartments.
3. Attach the compartments at a slide inside the shoebox with double sided tape.
It’s amazing how a simple toy can provide more fun than an expensive plastic one you buy in the shops, and what makes it even better is that not only you are reusing before recycling, but you can recycle it when your kids are done with it.
That is very similar to a plastic toy my son had when he was a toddler. He loved it!
This looks like so much fun!
You are brilliant – what a simple and great idea. Though my shoe boxes keep being carted off to make snail homes, which means I’ll have to buy more shoes. Which would be a disaster, clearly.
I am always in favour of more shoes!!!
Just PERFECT! My kids are REALLY into marbles at the moment… I just HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO make them a marble run ASAP!
Thanks for sharing with Kids Get Crafty!
