Big Feet

This Super Silly FUN Project is all over the internet

I wanted to try it too!  In fact I am wearing them right now and have been for the past hour!

BE CAREFUL! My Big Feet are slippery in the kitchen and on the stairs.  They seem okay on the carpet.  So, GO SLOW!  On stairs, put both feet on one step and hold onto the hand rail.  Lean on the wall or the kitchen counter.  Watch the giant feet as you walk.  I almost tripped going from the smooth floor to the carpet.  Lift up your Big Feet as you walk.

What you need:  Box Board/Cardboard, Scissors, String, Pencil/Marker, Hole Punch Optional

1. Trace your feet onto cardboard, poster board, card stock - something sturdy.  I used a cereal box.

2. Think about the type of BIG FEET you want to make.  The sky is the limit!

3. Draw BIGGER feet around the traced feet and cut them out.

4. Punch a hole (or poke a hole - be careful) on either side of the BIG Feet.

5.  Put string through the holes.  Go down through one hole, up through the other and tie it to your foot just like a shoe.  You could use shoe string, yarn or ribbon.  I used twine.

Box Board Ring Toss

Box Board Ring Toss

This is so simple!

*Draw an animal head on one side of a cereal box

*Draw 2 horns on the other side leaving room
to tape them on (a tab)

*Cut everything out*Tape the 2 horns together
(Double box board for more stability)

*You can just tape the horn on the front of the head
**This small step makes the horn much stronger:
Make a straight cut across the animal head,
insert the horn, tape it on the back. 

*Make rings out of paper plates, 

more box board, poster board, card stock or cardboard.  Just trace something round like a cup, bowl or roll of tape.

*Flowers are optional

These were made by folding a small square of paper corner to corner until it looks like a slice of pizza.  The open end is cut so that it looks like an ice cream cone

Think about other critters that would make a great ring toss game!

We played the Unicorn Ring Toss Game

and there was a lot of laughter.

You could attach it to the wall

We just held the Unicorn Head as a 2 person game

The person holding the head can help get the ring over the horn by moving around.  FYI - Paper plate rings really fly
