You will need:
- some pine cones in a box
or bucket
- a large box or basket
or bucket to receive cones in
- masking tape
- a large tree made out
of cardboard with a hole cut into the middle of it
What to do:
- mask a line on the floor
about 4 or 5' from the tree
- place box or basket behind
cardboard tree and in line with the hole
- let children take turns
tossing pine cones through the squirrel's hole in the tree
- for younger children,
come closer and concentrate on getting cones through the tree hole
- for older children, go
further back and concentrate on getting cones through the tree hole
OR go closer and concentrate on getting cones through the hole AND
into the basket on the other side!
- the object of the game
should be to better ones OWN score not someone else's!
