Description
This wooden table game kit lets you build your own table football game from flat plywood boards, piece by piece. The parts press out of their sheets and fit together into a compact pitch marked with lines, penalty areas and a centre circle. It has two goals with lattice nets, player rods with a handle at each end, and rows of little footballers standing ready to strike. Etched figures of players in action decorate the side panels, and the pale natural plywood gives the finished game a clean, warm look. It measures 25cm long, 18cm wide and 5cm high, and weighs just 0.16KG.
It makes a rewarding project for kids' craft time at home, whether on a quiet afternoon at the kitchen table or a rainy weekend. Once it is built the fun carries on: drop in the ball, then twist the rods to flick it towards the goal. With a skill level of 3 out of 5, it asks for patience and a careful hand rather than expert know-how. The easy to follow instructions guide each stage and are printed in English, French, German and Spanish. Building it together is a lovely way to share a love of football and learn simple craft skills along the way.
Every piece is plywood, cut so the parts slot neatly into a trim little frame, and the instructions note that no glue is needed. Press each part out gently in the order the instructions give, and smooth any rough edge with fine sandpaper before fitting it. Keep the finished game dry, and dust it with a soft dry cloth as you would any plain wood. Presented in its box, it makes a thoughtful present that is a project first and a game afterwards, and it looks smart left out on a shelf between matches.
