The DIY Mini Ball Game is an interactive craft that allows kids to build a toy they can play with again and again. It’s an easy, engaging project that works well at home, in classrooms, or for group activities.
This craft also makes a meaningful Rosh Chodesh Adar activity, offering a fun way to welcome the month with creativity and joy.

Directions:
- Download printable on sticker paper
- Using a razor or a pair of scissors, cut off the top part of the water bottle. Dry and set it aside.
- Using a hole puncher, make a hole in one spot of the background. Enlarge the hole a little by carefully punching out a slightly larger area for the balls to fit through.
- Place the background in the box. Do not stick it down yet!
- Take a pen and mark off the spot of the hole on the box.
- Use the razor blade to cut out the area of the hole. It’s ok if it is slightly larger than the hole in the background. Check that the balls can easily get through the background and the box.
- Carefully remove the back of one corner of the background and cut it off. Continue doing this to all four corners so that the corners are all sticky.(Alternatively, you can use regular paper and glue down the corners. We like the sticker because it is smoother and sturdier. )Apply to box, matching up the holes.
- Using a glue gun, glue the top part of a water bottle to the bottom of the box.
- Add the candy
- Close the box, secure it with tape and play.
