⭕ Materials:

- Cardboard

- Card

- Scissors

- Glue

- Gimlet

- Small wooden dowel (x2)

- Pen

- Hot glue gun and glue

- String

- Paper cup (x2)

- Stickers (optional)

- Marble

⭕ Instructions:

(1) Cut a piece of cardboard into a circle, then glue on a piece of card the same shape.

(2) Now, use your card to cut out shapes and make a picture. Here we have made a rocket.

(3) Next, glue a variety of different sized cardboard strips on, to make the board.

(4) With a new piece of rectangular cardboard, cut it into an arch shape, then add any more card decorations you would like.

(5) Next, use the gimlet to make a hole in the centre of the circular board. Then attach it to the rectangular board using 1 small wooden dowel.

(6) On one side of the board, make a square hole and use then pen to mark an X inside. Repeat this step slightly further down the board.

(7) Now, glue a long piece of cardboard underneath.

(8) Next, turn the board over. Mark and glue 2 more strips of cardboard in different directions. Add another board behind to keep them in place.

(9) Placing that to one side, now cut out some cardboard in the shape of a crescent, then glue it to a rolled cylinder of cardboard.

(10) Insert your second wooden dowel into the cardboard cylinder and attach it to the board, near the bottom.

(11) Next, cut and glue 4 circles together, make a hole in the middle and attach it to the wooden dowel. Repeat this step with the second dowel and use some hot glue to secure it.

(12) Tie your string around both of the circles, so they turn in unison.

(13) Attach 2 larger pieces of cardboard to each side of the board and a small square to the bottom.

(14) Cut 2 squares on each side of the board, in correspondence to where the ramps at the back of the board are.

(15) Cut 2 paper cups in half and attach the bottom sections underneath each hole. Here is where you can add a ‘happy’ and a ‘sad’ sticker to each.

(16) Now, add your marble to the top and use the handle to try to twist it into the correct hole. Your pinball game is ready to play!
