This idea is pure genius! Bubble wrap and Hop Scotch, together?! What little girl wouldn't go crazy over this? It's a perfect indoor activity for a cold winter's day. And thanks to
giver'slog, I am sending this as a birthday present to my niece first thing tomorrow morning! I know she will LOVE it.
Want to make one too? Here's how I did it:

Gather Materials: Cardboard Box, Bubble Wrap, Yarn, Scissors, Hole Punch, and Sharpies |

Step 1: Cut 10 12"X12" squares of bubble wrap and 2 slightly larger pieces of cardboard. |

Step 2: Using permanent markers, write numbers on the flat side of bubble wrap. Be sure to write them backwards! |

So they look like this when right side up! |

Step 3: Punch holes along each edge of both cardboard pieces |

Step 4: Write the rules down on one of the pieces of cardboard. They can be found here. |

Step 5: Tape a quarter to the other side. |

Step 6: Sandwich the bubble wrap between the two pieces of cardboard and thread yarn through the holes. I put a piece of tape around the end of the yarn for easy threading. |

Step 7: Decorate the front however you want! I'm going to mail this, so I addressed it and it's now ready to take to the post office! |
Go ahead, make someone's day!

This is such a great idea. As a retired teacher, I thought it would make a great game for indoor recess. As a grandma, I thought it would make a great party game.
