Catch Me If You Can!

Such a simple idea!

 

Next time you empty a milk carton, don't throw it away! 

Any other plastic carton with a handle will also work (vinegar, dish soap, etc.)

 

Cut away the front of the carton, leaving the handle to make a "catcher's mitt". 

Attach string, cording, shoelace, etc.

by tying one end to the milk carton and one to a foam ball, or yarn pom-pom.

 

This will provide fun and laughter, challenging your eye-hand coordination and coordination.

 

Make one for everyone in the family and have a contest.

It looks easy... but is it?

 

 

 

 

What else can you make from empty milk cartons?
