My kids got a bit competitive with this DIY toy idea, the classic Cup & Ball Game, each of them tallying up the number of times they were able to do it, but then mom stepped in and knocked them out of the water. Sorry guys, did I mention I love simple games like this?

In the U.S. this classic toy goes by the clearly enticing name Cup & Ball Toy…but in other parts of the world it is know by much more exotic names like Boliche,  Balero,  Bilboquet,  Kendama and Bilbocatch. But no matter how you swing it (pun intended) it’s a great way to test hand eye coordination.

I’m excited to to share how we made it over on PBS Parents Crafts for Kids !
