On April 18th my youngest daughter turned 4. On the 17th she got to have a party at preschool. Her party at home was going to be done in Minnie Mouse so we chose to stick with that theme and make a game to take to school for all the kids to play. At first I was going to do a pinata but decided this would be a safer project to do for 13 3 and 4 year olds.
The first thin you do is purchase 3 large pieces of poster board. Flip the poster board to the back. Find a circle that is the size you would like ( make sure it is big enough for a child's hand to fit through)
Next measure the cup you are going to use to put the prizes in. This cup must be larger than your circle.
Measure your rows out evenly and trace as many circles as you would like on your board.
After you are done tracing cut out all of the circles.
Lay down on a flat surface and cover each hole with tissue paper. We used 2-3 layers for each hole and alternated pink and white.
Fill your prize cup up with your prizes. I found it worked well to put the prizes in a ziploc bag if you are putting more than one thing in the cup.
Using a hot glue gun glue around the edges of the cup. Press down and hold for a few seconds until it dries.
Finish all of the cups.
Next you need to make sides for your board. using your second piece of poster board cut it into2 strips. Fold the strip in half and then tape to the side of the board
Repeat on the other side. Our board was to heavy so we had to brace the back to make it stand up. We taped 4 curtain rods along the back to give it support. When you are done you can decorate the front or just leave it as is.
Now come the fun part! Let the kids punch the holes out and win a prize!
