cardboard pinball machine

In this tutorial we’ll take your through all the steps in designing a basic pinball machine from cardboard. But after that the design is totally up to you. Playing and re-making and tweaking your game until it’s working smoothly is all part of the fun!

We invented this pinball project back in 2017 as part of our summer camp program and it was such a huge success that we’ve decided to bring it back for some creative play at home this year. You can even play two machines back-to-back for battle mode!
