Tunnel Bowling

Whenever my kids are bored at home, they seem to turn first to movies, tv shows, and video games.  Now that school’s over for the summer, I’m determined to limit their screen time.

There are plenty of more constructive, yet still fun things they can be doing with their oodles of time. 🙂

A little while ago, my kids came up with something we like to call “Tunnel Bowling”.  It’s such a simple thing, but they literally spent an hour or more playing it.

 

 Just grab an old box (the longer/taller the better), or in our case a chute that goes to a kids’ play tent, set up your pins…
and knock ’em down!
If you don’t have an old box, move the kitchen chairs away from the table and use under the table as your “tunnel”.  Or line up some kitchen chairs in a row and bowl between the legs of them.
We purchased the Little Tikes bowling set a while back at Toys R Us.  If you don’t want to buy a set, you can get creative with light, non-breakable objects to set up for “pins” and simply use a heavier play ball.
Strike!

    You can make your own bowling pins with Gerber Puffs containers. I was stockpiling mine to do this when I ended up needing all my puffs containers for Activity Days. Sad day. :(
