Witch's Ring Toss

Who will be brave enough to capture the starry, spooky witch's hat?

Line up the kids so they can try their hands at this bewitching version of the classic ring-toss game. Trim a purchased witch's hat with self-adhesive stars and moons and weigh it down with a plastic container filled with dried beans or rice. Make a ring from white foam-core board with a different pattern of brightly colored electrical tape for each child. For added fun, construct and toss rings of various sizes.

• Purchased witch hat
• White foam-core board
• Electrical tape in assorted colors
• Poster board
• Masking tape
• Self-adhesive crafts foam star and moon cutouts
• Large plastic container with lid, such as a frozen whipped topping container
• Dried beans or rice

Draw around the brim of the witch's hat to make a large circle on foam-core board. Draw a second circle 2 inches inside the first.

Cut on the drawn lines, making a ring. Randomly wrap various colors of electrical tape around the ring to completely cover the foam-core circle. Repeat to make more rings as desired.

Bend the poster board into a cone to fit inside the hat. Cut off any excess board and tape to secure the shape. Insert the poster-board cone inside the hat; tape in place.

Embellish the outside of the hat with self-adhesive stars and moons.

Fill a plastic container with dried beans or rice to use as an anchor for the hat. Cover with the lid, and securely tape the lid on top.

Invert the container and set the hat with the poster-board cone over it.
