How to make a Plinko board

This “How to make a Plinko board” was a fun project idea from my friend Lynn.  She is the head of her school’s PTA, and/or planning committee and she wanted to build some fun games for an upcoming school carnival/ school fair.

DIY Snack Station / DIY Produce Stand / DIY Display Stand

What do you call this? I’ve looked it up on Pinterest and you can find variations in all three: DIY Snack Station / DIY Produce Stand and under DIY Display Stand. For my purposes today I’m going to go with DIY Snack Station because that’s what it will be replacing – my previous snack station […]
