Need a quick and easy distraction for your kids that doesn't break the bank? This will keep them entertained for a bit with just a few household supplies.
Take a balloon and cut off a small piece of the end so the neck fits over the paper towel tube. We used balls of duct tape for ammunition because they are soft projectiles and can't really do damage. You can also use marshmallows or pompoms.
Pull back on the balloon, let go and see how far you fly.
We set up a few hanging targets in the doorway with plastic cups taped to string. The bullseye just added incentive to really make those cups swing.
Have a look at the video to see that this really works! And keep clear of the popping range or you might become the next moving target!
