Supplies Needed to Make a Recycled Ring Toss Game

As with all projects on Paper Plate Fun, these are the supplies we used to make the project as shown in this post.  We encourage you to improvise and use supplies you have on hand already!

  • Empty shoebox or cardboard box
  • Kraft wrapping paper
  • Scotch tape
  • Washi tape or decorative paper tape
  • Paper towel roll
  • Hot glue gun and hot glue
  • Paper plates
  • Scissors

Instructions for Making a Recycled Ring Toss Game

You’ll be able to easily put together this recycled ring toss game in under 15 minutes!  It’s so fast and simple!

Step One

Make sure the shoebox or cardboard box is empty, and wrap it with wrapping paper.  We used brown kraft paper for a ring toss game that works in all seasons, but a fun variation for a holiday class party would be to use seasonal wrapping paper!  Recycled materials like this shoebox are used to make a fun recycled ring toss game!

Step Two

Next, take the empty paper towel roll and use the scissors to cut slits in the bottom of the roll, approximately 1/4″ long each.  Cut them all the way around the bottom of the roll.  Learn how to make a recycled ring toss game in this post!

Step Three

Gently fold the slits on the bottom of the paper towel roll outward.  This will form a base, which makes it easier to glue the paper towel roll to the shoebox.  A paper towel roll becomes the ring holder in recycled ring toss.

Step Four

Hot glue the paper towel roll to the middle of the shoebox.  The hot glue forms a sturdy bond and makes the ring toss sturdy.  We don’t recommend that you use school glue for this project!Learn how to make your own ring toss game in this post! It's easy and uses recycled materials.

Step Five

Next, we used washi tape (or decorative paper tape), to decorate both the shoebox and the paper towel roll.  This was a quick and easy way to add vibrant color to our recycled ring toss game!  Decorate the recycled ring toss game with colorful washi tape.

If you don’t have washi tape on hand, decorate your recycled ring toss game with decorative wrapping paper, stickers, markers, crayons, or anything else decorative!

Step Six

Finally, cut the center circles out of several paper plates.  The paper plates with centers removed are the rings in this recycled ring toss game!  Make flying rings for recycled ring toss with paper plates.

Feel free to decorate the rings in any way you like, or leave them plain!

Step Seven

Now your recycled ring toss game is ready to play!  Have kids line up and see how many rings they can toss onto the paper towel tube.  Make this recycled ring toss game with supplies from the recycling bin, like boxes and paper plates! It's a great class party game or activity to keep the kids entertained! This DIY game is sure to be a hit.

They are guaranteed to have fun!  You’d be amazed. . . Make this recycled ring toss game with supplies from the recycling bin, like boxes and paper plates! It's a great class party game or activity to keep the kids entertained!
