Milk Jug Catchers & Newspaper Balls

These are so simple to make and fun for all ages.  Gallon sized milk jugs are perfect for younger kids, half-gallon for your older kids.  My four-year-old loved these gallon sized catchers as the hole was wide enough for her to catch the ball, yet challenging for her level of coordination. 



And fun to create together too!

You will need:

Catchers:
2 Plastic Milk Jugs
Scissors
Decorative Tape

Ball:
Newspaper
Decorative Tape

For the catchers, you will need an adult to cut the bottom off the milk jug.  Just be sure to leave the entire handle.  Use the decorative tape to cover the edges and make it safe.  Your kiddos can help decorate and personalize their own catchers.



For the balls, just ball up a bunch of newspaper, as large as you want the ball to be.  Then cover with decorative tape.



Super simple project from start to play time.  Hours of fun from recycled materials.
