HOW TO MAKE A SQUIRT GUN TARGET GAME

We made these using plastic cups, plastic plates (these are the Chinet Cut Crystal dessert plates) cups and this free printable.

If I was doing this for a party I’d maybe attach them to a long board with a nail and then seal it with some more hot glue. This would make it easier to make sure the cups won’t fall over spilling the water out.

It’s fun to play by yourself too (at least according to my 11 year old who was out there shooting water into the cup for the last 20 minutes).

  1. I love this idea but is the point to see how full the players can get the cup?
