I've been trying hard to recycle everything in our house that can be recycled but for this Easy Tin Can Ball Toss Game I wanted to reuse our vegetable and soup cans and make a backyard game that my Son and his friends can practice pitching or use toss the ball around.
It did take a little bit to save up 6 cans because we mainly use can goods as quick lunches or if I don't feel like making fresh veggies but I didn't know Amazon sells tin cans in sets of 12 so you could make a larger Tin Can Ball Toss Game if you wanted or just not have to save up your cans.
You can use any kind of scrapbook paper but I chose to use 4th of July patterns so we can use it around the 4th.
Cut out your 6 strips of paper.
Carefully glue one short end of the paper strip to the outside of a tin can, wrap the other side around tightly and hot glue the other end to the can.
My son was so excited when he saw the Easy Tin Can Ball Toss Game sitting on the edge of the fireplace in the backyard and couldn't wait to get us all outside to play a game of family Tin Can Ball Toss.
