How to make a Foosball Game from a Cardboard Box
- Start by cutting the lid off of the box. This is something an adult should do because it requires a sharp blade or scissors.
- Cut a square hole on each end of the box for the goals.
- Paint the inside of the box and the wooden dowels with the black paint. Let dry.
- Poke four holes evenly across the long edge of the box, repeat with the second long side of the box. Insert the dowels into the holes.
- Snap a popsicle stick in half and tape it to the dowls as shown in the pictures. Repeat with another popsicle stick so that you have 2 halves of each stick on each dowel.
- Color the stars and planets from the printable.
- Tape a planet to the popsicle stick on the first dowel and the third dowel. Tape a star to the second dowel and the fourth dowel. Get your free stars and planets printable here.
