Tips & Warnings
Use a larger target if you wish, but make sure it is flat.
Color the water to make the game more difficult or to match a party or holiday theme.
Don't play with children under 3, as they could swallow the pennies.
Don't leave the bucket of water unattended with young children around. Even a small amount of water can be hazardous.
