Roll up long, cut strips of cardboard to make rings, create five of them, and stick them onto a base piece of cardboard.

Write point values inside the rings to complete the target.

This toy launches a ball into the target rings, so make a launcher by stacking and gluing an ice cream stick and a plastic bottle cap onto a clothespin.

Clip the clothespin onto the base to secure the launcher, and use a ball made from crumpled aluminum foil.

Put the ball into the bottle cap, press the ice cream stick downward, and release—it will shoot out with force.

♫ Dear Boy — Hump Back

This is a cardboard craft project for a strikeout game that’s super popular at festivals! First, choose a piece of cardboard sized to fit the children.

Cut out a 3×3 grid, then decorate the cut-out pieces.

Finally, adjust the cut-outs so they fit nicely into the frame.

It’s easy to make, and since it’s cardboard, it’s also great for use as a shooting game target! Share ideas, get creative, and have fun together—kids and adults alike!

Ball toss game

[Easy in 5 Steps] Let's Play a Ball Toss Game! [Cardboard Craft]

This is an easy, carnival-style shooting game craft made from cardboard that kids and adults alike can enjoy.

First, seal the cardboard box lid with packing tape.

Cut holes in the box.

If circles are tricky, feel free to make squares, triangles, or any shapes you like.

Next, make balls out of newspaper.

Tear the paper to your preferred size, crumple it into a ball, and secure it with packing tape—that’s it! It’s also fun to draw pictures or add colors as you like.

When children are making this, be careful to avoid cuts from box cutters or scissors.

Bowling Made from Cardboard

Let's play together! [How to Make Bowling] Cardboard Craft - How to make a bowling game

Let’s use the cardboard boxes that keep piling up from online shopping to make a bowling game.

You can cut the cardboard to about the same size as regular pins and attach some weights to create sturdy pins.

Or, take a completely different approach and make a small, tabletop version—that sounds fun too.

For the ball in the mini-bowling version, marbles are recommended! You can roll them as-is, or build a cardboard launcher with a slight incline.

Try customizing the setup to match your play space and the players’ ages.

baseball board game

[Experiment] I Tried Making a Baseball Game Board Out of Cardboard and Played With It! [Craft]

This lets you play just like with a real tabletop baseball game.

First, prepare a large square piece of cardboard and use white and green construction paper to make the bases and the grass.

At the same time, create the scoring areas using construction paper in various colors.

Once that’s done, flip the cardboard over and make a mechanism that launches the ball.

Use cardboard to create a channel for a stick, like a pencil, that will shoot a marble to serve as the ball.

Then flip it back to the front, bundle some thinly cut strips to make a bat, and attach and secure a rubber band to it.

Finally, add the scoreboard and dividers to keep the ball from flying out, and you’re done!
