Advantages: relieves boredom

Disadvantages: none

After pulling my hair out, at what to give my son Thomas to do. I came up with an idea of getting plastic cups. You know, the ones you get for a kids party. And I lined them all up lying down on the floor and gave him a ball. Everytime he got the ball in the cup. I took the cup away, leaving a gap and making it harder for him to get the ball into the cups. And so this went on until there was one cup left.He was exstatic when he scored. Jumping up and down. It did go on for a long while. But he did not get bored. In fact I thought of another game. Yet again with the cups. I cut out holes in the side. Stood the cups upside down,and told him to try and get the balls into the cups through the doorway. He managed it. So a boring day, turned out to be a fullfilling one for my son, And it did not cost a penny.And to top it all I have to do it again with him tomorrow. I think it is good for hand and eye co-ordination. So is educational as well. He loved it. Give it a go. The smile on my sons face when he scored was a picture.
