[Recreation] Fun! A collection of DIY ring toss ideas
Ring toss is a classic festival booth you often see at daycare and kindergarten events, elementary schools, and summer festivals at senior facilities.
It’s great because anyone can easily give it a try, regardless of age or gender—and if there are prizes like candy, people tend to get really into it!
And that satisfying feeling when the ring slips right onto the target—nothing like it!
In this article, we’ll share DIY ideas for making your own ring toss.
They range from projects using everyday household items to ones that make use of dedicated kits.
There’s a wide variety, so be sure to take a look!
[Rec] Fun! Handmade Ring Toss Ideas (1–10)
Ring toss with cardboard and plastic wrap cores
Let’s make an easy ring toss game using a cardboard box and a plastic wrap core! Cut a hole in the bottom of the cardboard box just big enough for the wrap core to pass through, then insert the core into the hole you made.
If you’re worried the core might shift, secure it with tape.
Once that’s done, draw point values or any designs you like around the core to finish the base.
For the rings, cut the cardboard into donut shapes.
Make the center holes of the donuts as large as possible so they’re easier to land on the target.
Sumikkogurashi Ring Toss
Let’s make a ring toss game themed around the kid-favorite “Sumikkogurashi.” You can create the targets using materials like origami paper, plastic wrap, and toilet paper rolls.
Draw the characters from Sumikkogurashi on the targets or attach ones you’ve folded from origami.
Once the targets are ready, stick them onto a base and you’re done.
It’s also fun to draw each character’s face on the rings.
Adding decorations with point values next to the character targets makes it extra cute.
With this adorable ring toss, playtime will be even more fun!
Mini Ring Toss
A mini ring toss that anyone can enjoy on a desk.
Prepare an empty tissue or snack box, and first make the base for the ring toss.
Open the top of the box and one side.
Next, partially disassemble a paperclip and bend it so it stands upright.
Attach each one to the base using vinyl tape with point values written on it.
Then fold a piece of paper to make a launcher for the rings, and attach it to the open side of the base—base complete! Since the base itself is small, using chain rings for the tossing rings is recommended.
Place a ring on the paper launcher you made, and just slide your finger to launch the ring!
Plastic-bottle ring toss
Let’s make an eco-friendly ring toss game using plastic bottles! Fill empty plastic bottles with water so they won’t tip over easily.
Just adding water is fine, but it’s also fun to add a little paint to color the water.
Next, decorate the bottles however you like: stick on construction paper with point values, add stickers, or glue on paper cut into different shapes like animals.
For the rings, simply roll up strips of newspaper into long tubes and form them into circles.
As long as you have plastic bottles, you can put this together quickly and easily—give it a try!
Wooden ring toss

After getting pieces of wood in your preferred sizes from a home improvement store, attach the target pegs to the wooden base using wood glue or a similar adhesive.
You can also spray paint or paint it in colors you like.
For safety, we recommend sanding any edges or corners that might be hazardous if bumped.
For the rings, use newspaper rolled into circles or rope formed into loops.
Give this wooden ring toss a try and enjoy the warmth and feel of natural wood.
Ring toss with lactic acid bacteria beverage containers
Let’s make a small and cute ring toss game using probiotic drink containers! Since it’s mini-sized, you can play it while seated at a desk.
Gather a few empty probiotic drink containers and decorate them with masking tape and stickers.
Then, simply glue the containers onto a base board, such as cardboard covered with construction paper, and you’re done! For the rings, twist chenille stems (pipe cleaners) into loops to make rings that are just the right size for the containers.
It’s an easy ring toss idea that both children and seniors can join in from the crafting stage.
Sea Ring Toss Game
An ocean ring toss game that lets you feel like you’re playing with sea creatures.
First, draw your favorite sea animals or point values on paper cups.
It’s also fun to decorate them with cute, ocean-themed stickers.
Next, create the base by gluing blue-toned construction paper onto cardboard to evoke the sea.
Attach the paper cups you made onto the base.
Fill any empty spaces by drawing more sea creatures—and you’re done! For the rings, twist together two different colors of pipe cleaners to make loops, or roll strips of construction paper into rings.
