Six bright tins wobble, topple and clatter across the lawn.

🎯 Sharper aim: three throwing bags give each player a go before the tins are reset
💪 Bigger throws: the overarm and underarm tossing needed to hit the stack builds gross motor control through the shoulder and arm
🔢 Number practice: each metal tin has a number on one side, so scores can be called out as they fall
🦁 Animal hunt: the other side shows a seal, bear, lion, rabbit, flamingo or raccoon
👫 Flexible play: works solo or for up to three players, from 3 years
☀️ Backyard ready: sturdy metal tins made for the lawn, with no batteries and no setup beyond stacking

The Educator's Note

The tins topple the moment a bag lands, so a child sees exactly how their aim went and adjusts the next throw. That cause-and-effect loop is what builds overarm and underarm control.
Six metal tins and three bags is the whole set, with no batteries and no assembly, so it goes from cupboard to lawn in a minute and actually gets played.
Numbers on one side and animals on the other let the same set suit counting games for a 3 year old and score-keeping for a school-age child, and it plays solo or with up to three.

Stack the six tins, step back and throw. The clatter shows straight away whether the aim was good, so children reset the tower and go again without being asked. Made for ages 3 and up, when throwing shifts from flinging to aiming. It plays solo or with up to three players, which suits a backyard afternoon, a family gathering or a quiet go on your own.

Also available in a great value bundle

This is a good fit when you want active, aim-based play that is easy to set up and quick to understand.

Children aged 3 to 5 years who are moving from flinging to deliberate throwing and need a clear target to aim at
Active 5 to 8 year olds who enjoy keeping score, moving the throwing line back and beating their own best round
Families after a backyard game that works for one to three players, from a solo practice to turns with siblings or cousins
Birthday and holiday gift buyers looking for an outdoor game for a child turning 3 or 4 who already loves throwing balls

The satisfying part is the clatter

Knock-down tin throwing is a fairground classic, and this version gives it a colourful makeover. Six metal tins stack into a tower, and each one carries a number on one side and a wild animal on the other: a seal, bear, lion, rabbit, flamingo and raccoon. Children build the tower themselves, which is the first bit of play before a single bag is thrown. Then comes the throw. A child steps back, takes aim and lets a bag fly. The tins ring and tumble, and the result is instant and obvious. That quick feedback is what keeps a 3 to 5 year old coming back, because there is no waiting for anyone to tell them how they went.

What the throwing builds

Aiming at a target is a different skill from simply throwing hard. Children have to judge distance, line up their body and let go at the right moment, which builds the hand-eye coordination they will use later for catching a ball and kicking a goal. Stacking the tins first adds careful, controlled placement to the mix. The set contains three throwing bags, so a round is quick and turns pass fast. That keeps waiting time short for shorter attention spans, and it suits one child practising alone or up to three players taking turns. Move the throwing line back as they improve and the same game stays challenging well past the first week.

Playing it your way

Turn the numbers to the front and call them out as the tins fall, or flip them to the animal side and make it a hunt for the lion. Older children can add up a score, while younger ones simply count how many came down. It is a game that grows with them, from the first wobbly tower at three to competitive rounds with siblings. It is made for outdoor play, so the lawn or courtyard is ideal. Wipe the tins clean with a damp cloth when finished, and store the set indoors so the metal stays out of rain, wet grass and dew.
