Both me and my wife joined the PSG (Parent Support Group) for our son’s primary school.
Getting involve with the school seems like a good thing to do, where you can re-live the primary school life, and get to know the primary school life in Singapore. It does not takes a lot of time for a year, but some times can be fun.
Like making this Pokemon ball gaming table for the school’s Children Day celebration.
In fact, you can easily make this at home.
So, the game has to be easy to play.
Not too complicated to design.
So, we thought of making Pokemon as a theme.
And we get our children to put on their thinking hat.
And of course the labour work later from them. hahaha
Go to Art’s Friend to buy this foam board.
It should be this thick.
Get the foam balls too. It should be this size.
Take a bowl from the kitchen, and start drawing circles.
This job is easy. Drawing circles.
Even Jay can do it.
Design the circle location properly.
You need foam cutter to cut the foam.
Children cannot do this, as the foam cutter is very high temperature.
Make sure you make big enough hole to fit the foam balls.
It’s definitely not a quick task here. Because the foam cutter need to rest as there are so many holes to cut.
Need patience.
We draw and cut the circles in rows of alternate 4 and 5 circles. That will ensure higher chance of getting the ball inside.
So, the aim of the game is to throw the ball into the hole and match the colour.
Next task is easy, as you need to paint the board and the balls. So, it is good to get a reference book so that you painted it exactly as it shows.
Wah, so many balls, let’s paint only the Poke Balls and the Great Balls.
Sometimes you also want to get lazy a little bit. hahaha
Let’s get to work.
It’s a team work.
And we make this for the school.
We make this for the children.
The Poke Balls…
The great balls…
The colour matching holes.
Poke balls goes into red holes and Great balls goes into blue holes.
Highlight the balls.
And it is done. Hahahahaha
We tested it too.
Not to mention the packaging too.
Let’s play balls.
