Ideas for golf course
For a tunnel, cut out the bottom of an
empty oatmeal box, and place the box on its side.
To make a house, turn a shoe box upside
down and cut out an entrance from one end, and the exit from the other
end.
Fold a piece of cardboard in half and
set it up like a tent for the ball to go through.
Place two or three frisbees on the floor
to form a curved fairway for the ball to go through.
Make a ramp by scoring (run one point of
the scissors in a straight line without cutting all the way through) a
piece of cardboard twice. Bend slightly at each score mark to
create a upside, flat, and downside to your ramp. Put some books
under the center section for support.
For a straight fairway, use two rows of
building blocks.
Make a sandtrap from a hula hoop.
For a pipe use paper and tape it.
Put a chair or stool in the center of
the room for the ball to go under.
