Homemade Equipment Ideas

Equipment Name: Plastic Bottle Ring Toss

Materials Needed: You will need atleast three recycled two liter bottles. You will also need a pair of scissors.

Estimated Cost: $0.00

Rationale: This is to help children use their hand and eye coordination. They will use fine motor skills while grasping the rings. They will use gross motor skills to throw the rings onto the bottle.

Directions For Making:

First clean the bottles out good using soap and water. You will take the first liter and take the paper off. Decorate the bottle using sharpies or paper with crayons. You may want to hot glue the cap to the bottle. Then take the remaining bottles and cut the bottle around leaving the plastic in a circle. Cut atleast five rings out of the bottom of the bottle.
