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.
I think she will love it - I know my kiddos would!
