Happy Friday y'all! Here is a fun little game I found online. The object is to try to hop your cute little snow bunny up the bells. And be sure to aim for those birds they give you bonus points! The music is quite soothing but felt some tension while playing. lol! Hope you have as much fun with it as I did. Enjoy!

DIY Fish Bowl Carnival Game

Tuesday, April 6, 2010

Remember the Fish in a Bag Soap tutorial here? Well, this is the game that was played in order to win one of those fishies! And here is how we made it!
Materials
12 Ivy Bowls
1 Giant Tube
Paper
Plenty of Ping Pong balls!

Ivy bowls are fairly inexpensive, but when you need several they can add up! We hit up our local thrift shops and found these (and 6 more) and they averaged out to 30 cents each! Don't you just love those bows? So cute! {wink}
We took a little soap and water to them and they were like  new again! (Drying in the sun.)
My husband brought home this giant tube from work that was being dumped in the trash. We cut that in half and then did some decorative cutting until we got a design we were happy with. Then we painted it blue. If you can't find a giant tube be creative, try a large box or kiddie pool.
We printed the outline of letters that spell "Fish Bowl Game" on colored paper and cut those letters out. Then we printed out some large, cute fish and cut those out. Letters and fish can just as easily be free hand drawn. We glued all letters and fish to the tube.

We printed out small fish and stuck them to the bowls. Place all bowls in the tube and now all that's left to do is play the game by trying to throw the Ping Pong balls in the bowls. And win yourself a Fish in a Bag!
Hope you like it!

DIY Ring Toss Game

This is one of the games I made for my son's last birthday party. It started out as a surf theme but ended up being more boardwalk because there were just so many more activities that we were able to incorporate. This game is fairly easy to make.

I choose Tejava tea bottles because I liked the size. Dumped the tea in a pitcher and put in the fridge. Peel labels, wash and dry.

Next I painted the inside of the bottles. This step could be optional but I wanted them to be colorful. I tried several paints and techniques but spray paint seemed to work best!

I had the wooden 7up box (cause I like old/secondhand stuff and just seem to have things like this laying around.) I found the rings at the dollar store in the summertime over with the seasonal pool game/toy isle.

I gave the guests tickets to play games and each one won a prize when they played.

If you are planning any party's this year what theme are you going with? And what are your ideas for that.
