Get ready to use the hoops and water bottles for a carnival-style hoop toss game! Place several filled bottles on a flat surface and position Sproutlets several feet away, each taking turns to toss their hoops over the colorful bottles. For each hoop that makes it around a target, award a small prize to each guest for their grand efforts at becoming true “Ring-masters!” (Tip: Plastic hoops can often be found at local Dollar type stores. If you run across such a bargain, you may want to consider using leftover hoops as ultra-easy party favors for your Sprouty little clowns! You’ll be letting your guests help with the cleanup by sending the hoops home as a Wiggly fun bonus prize! Some of the mess will be leaving with the guests, and they’ll love having a memory of your party that they can play with at home!)
