My children love this throwing game

As a family, we often spend time outside. We always have a game with us that can be easily integrated. This throwing game has been a big hit with my children recently. You can make it in a few simple steps.
We recently had the neighbour's children over. One girl had seen a throwing game on TV and told the others about it. They were all hooked. A short time later, I was standing in front of my craft cupboard with the children, looking for suitable materials for the game. We found what we were looking for and had made the throwing game within 15 minutes. The children played with it for two hours and we mums were able to chat in comfort. It was pure relaxation.
I used these materials
For this fun throwing game, you will need four or five paper plates, at least two balloons, coloured paper, sand or rice and a funnel. Other tools include a small round plate, pencil, scissors, craft glue and a thick black pen. If you prefer something more stable, you can also use plastic or bamboo plates.
Here we go
To start, place the smaller plate upside down on the coloured paper and trace it with a pencil. Cut out the resulting circles with the scissors
Then stick the coloured circles onto one paper plate each. Now write numbers on the coloured circles. You can decide what the numbers are. For younger children, it can be lower numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 10) and for older schoolchildren, a slightly more complicated combination (7, 16, 23, 36, 41).
Use the funnel to fill the balloons with rice or sand and tie a knot. To have more items to throw, you can fill three or four balloons at once. The game is finished!
I'm more of a thinker than a doer. Yet I'm still always active: crafting, sewing, writing to-do lists, daydreaming, counting clouds, digging into soil, comforting my two little ones and collapsing into bed after a long day. If it were up to me, each day would have a few extra hours... I wonder if that would be enough.
