Pumpkin-Patch Ring Toss

What You’ll Need:

• scissors
• five 20-ounce plastic bottles
• glue
• tissue paper
• brush
• waxed paper
• cardboard
• paper
• green crepe-paper streamers
• 8-10 plastic coffee-can lids

How to Make It:

1. With an adult’s help, cut off the bottom section from five 20-ounce plastic bottles. Recycle the top sections.

2. To make the pumpkins, glue pieces of orange tissue paper over the bottle bottoms and brush them with glue for a hard finish. Set them aside to dry on waxed paper.

3. Cut out a large circle from cardboard and cover it with paper. Glue the pumpkins, open-side down, to the cardboard base. Leave space between each pumpkin.

4. Crush five small pieces of green tissue paper into stem shapes. Make vine and leaf shapes from green crepe-paper streamers. Glue them around the pumpkins and base.

5. To make the rings, cut out and discard the center sections of eight to ten plastic coffee-can lids.

To play: Each player takes a turn throwing all of the rings. Each ring around a pumpkin scores one point. Whoever reaches 20 points first is the winner.
