Sticky Dart Carnival Supplies: Sticky Darts – (see a photo or order below). These cute little darts are sticky on the end and stick to just about anything! They are reusable, but do become a little less sticky with each throw.Count on using each dart about 20 - 25 times each. (Note: place a clean, plastic drop cloth if the darts should fall - to prevent them from becoming sandy or dirty - if they are dirty they lose their ability to stick!)
Large Poster Board or Large Wood Board Painted with a design. (You can get creative with this!) Example: a large dart board, a themed design (for example. this spring it could be a large flower with the center as the bulls eye), or with pictures of your school teachers and staff (kids love that one!)
An Easel or a way to hang up the board – if inside – it can go against a wall. Outside can lean against a tree (as shown above) -- make sure it is secured so it will not fall!!
Tape to mark a spot for different age children to stand to throw sticky darts
Prizes – consolation, Bulls Eye prize and others (depending how you designed your board)
