Pom-Pom Basketball

The elf built a basketball court: a paper cup hoop on the wall, a pile of fluffy pom-pom balls, a tape free-throw line and a scoreboard that says Elf 12, Kids 0. Game on.

Instructions

Tape a paper cup to a wall or cabinet side, open end up, at about the kids' shoulder height.
Cut a cardboard backboard and tape it behind the cup.
Put a strip of tape on the floor a few steps back as the free-throw line.
Fill a bowl with pom-poms and set it by the line.
Write a scoreboard on paper: ELF 12, KIDS 0.
Sit the elf on top of the backboard.

Tip: Pom-poms are small. Keep them away from toddlers and count them back into the bowl after the game.
