Throwing honeycomb balls through a hoop

Great for Halloween too! Here’s an idea for a game where you make a spiderweb with a hula hoop and throw balls at it.

You’ll need a hula hoop, clear tape, black construction paper, scissors or a craft knife, and colorful balls.

Use the black construction paper to make a spiderweb and a spider.

Attach strips of clear tape across the inside of the hula hoop to create a target.

When you throw the colorful balls, it looks like they get caught in the web, which is really fun! If you don’t have a hula hoop, you can make a ring by cutting poster paper into long strips and connecting them into a loop.
