I’m a busy mum, I created a fun game for my toddler to play at home – and it only costs £1
ALL parents know how hard it can be to entertain a toddler day in, day out.
But now a busy mum has revealed the unique way she does it – as she shared the DIY ball game she created that keeps kids occupied for hours on end.
TikTok account @bubbleandbeep was set up by a mum of two unders 2’s – so she knows a thing (or two!) about life with toddlers.
One of her latest postings showed how to create a simple ball drop using supplies you will no doubt have around the home.
Before showing exactly how it was made, she captioned the post: “All you need is some paper cups, scissors, tape and a ball.
“Perfect when you have a few leftover party supplies. #diytoddleractivity #simpletoddleractivities #toddleractivityideas #balldrop #indooractivitiesforkids.”

The video then cuts to show some cut out paper cups, which can be bought for as little as £1, with holes cut into them.
They are taped to a glass in a semi-circle pattern that goes from the top to the bottom of the glass.
She then shows how when a ball is put into the top cup, it gradually bounces from one cup to the next, until it comes out at the bottom ready to be played again.
@bubbleandbeep explained: “Here’s a really simple DIY ball drop for your toddlers.

“If yours is anything like mine, they get bored of their toys so quickly.
“So it’s great to have some kind of options up your sleeve for rainy days.”
