Ball Catchers

You'll need:

  • 2 Gallon size plastic milk cartons
  • Sharp scissors
  • Colored paint markers
  • Ball of a size that fits in the cartoons

Instructions:

  1. Cut the very bottom off of the plastic milk cartons.
  2. Clean and dry them.
  3. Cut out a U shape on the side of the handle. If you hold the container right side up it would be an upside-down U just underneth the handle. DO NOT CUT THE HANDLE.
  4. Color each one differently with the paint markers, or you can make up teams of them by coloring some the same.
  5. Hold them upside down and put in the ball. Toss to another player and they must catch it in the catcher.
