Basketball Cup & Ball Craft
Instructions
- Paint an orange stripe around the rim of the white plastic cup.
- With the silver Sharpie, draw diagonal lines one direction all the way around the cup. Then draw them the other direction all the way around the cup.
- With the black Sharpie, draw basketball lines on the orange ping pong ball.
- Cut your wooden chopstick in half.
- Carefully, make a hole – slightly smaller than the chopstick – about 1/3 of the way up the side of the cup. Insert the chopstick into the hole.
- Cut a piece of string, roughly 12-18 inches long.
- Thread a needle with the string and push up thought the bottom of the cup. Tie off the end inside the cup.
- Insert the other end of the string completely through the ping pong ball and tie off at the end.
- Play with the basketball cup and ball craft by trying to swing the ball into the cup!
