SCOOP BALL CATCHERS
Make a simple and inexpensive scoop to catch balls in.
You will need:
Plastic drink containers with handles(the 1 gallon or 4 litre size is best).
Scissors
electrical tape (colored is nice)Masking tape will do the trick.
Carefully cut the bottom out of a clean plastic jug. Use the colored electrical tape to fold over the cut edge making it smooth. Make as many as you need for each child to have one. They can be decorated with stickers or tape to individualize.
Practice catching a small soft ball or waffle ball with these scoops.
Great outdoor activity.
