Total Time: 20 minutes + paint drying time

Supplies:

Steps:

Optional - paint your empty tissue box. My son chose green. Then we used the same technique as before and dabbed on a lighter green with cotton balls. Allow paint to dry (I waited overnight).

Trim your cup to make a smaller hoop. If you don't have a paper cup you could use a toilet paper roll or paper towel roll for a more challenging basketball toss game. Optional - used sticker ribbon to decorate rim of cup.
Attach cup to dried tissue box with hot glue.
