Pool Noodle Crafts: 3 Creative Ideas for Repurposing

Pool Noodle Hopscotch

You can use pool noodles to create a hopscotch board, then rearrange them to create a different pattern. This is great to help kids increase their coordination!

Supplies:

8-10 pool noodles
10 large or 20 medium plastic ties

Instructions:

Step 1: Wrap the pool noodle into a circle so the edges overlap. Secure the edges together using the plastic tie. If the ties are smaller, you may need to combine two ties to wrap around both of the noodles. Pull the tie tight to hold the noodle ends in place.

Step 2: Repeat the process until you’ve created 8 to 10 noodle circles.

Step 3: Place the noodles in a hopscotch pattern, with 1 or 2 noodle circles in each row for the kids to hop through.

Step 4: Rearrange the noodle hopscotch board as many times as you want.
