What you need: Ball, Cardboard box or lid, scissors.

1. Draw around a cup slightly bigger than the ball you are using on the inside of the box.
2. Using some strong scissors, cut out the hole.
3. Put the ball in the box!

Encourage your child to tilt and manoeuvre the box in order to encourage the ball to fall through the hole.

If you want to extend this game to make it harder, you can add more holes and write different scores for each hole.. for example 5 points, 10 points, 20 points! You can encourage your older children to count up how many points they have won.

If you have more than one child at home you can encourage the children to take turns with this activity and share the resource. This activity is also good for hand eye co-ordination and physical development.
