We had a couple of friends over when we tried this one out. It went down a treat. Very simple to make. It took no time at all. And lots of fun had with them after. Win win! Why not make your own balloon cup shooters for an instant boredom buster!
Time to complete: 10-15 mins
Difficulty: Easy
Adult Help: 🌳 Some help – An adult should help with cutting the bottom from the plastic cup and check that the cut edge is safely covered with tape. Children can then stretch the balloon over the cup and use the finished shooter themselves.
You will need:
- plastic cups
- balloons
- tape
- scissors
Start by cutting the bottom off of the cups. A sturdy pair of scissors was enough for the cups we used.
Cover the cut edge with the tape. It can be quite sharp, and we don’t want any accidents.
Next, tie up your balloon without blowing it up. Cut the bottom end off and stretch it over the top of your cup.
Now all that’s left is to play with it!
