Make these glow-in-the-dark bowling pins for a fun indoor bowling night.
What You'll Need
What to Do
-
Use colorful tape and paint markers to decorate 10 empty water bottles.
-
Place a glow stick inside each bottle. (Activate the glow sticks just before use.)
-
Make 2 bean bags. (See directions below.)
How to Make Bean Bags
- For each bean bag, cut the sides of a sealable plastic bag to make a small octagon.
- Cover the bag with colorful tape, leaving the top open.
- Fill the bag with rice or dried beans. To play in the dark, put a glow bracelet inside. Seal the bag.
How To Play
Set up the bottles like bowling pins. Player 1 tosses two bean bags at them. Count the bottles that were knocked down, then reset them. Player 2 goes. Whoever knocks down the most bottles in the round earns a point. The first player to reach 5 points wins.
Add some water to each bottle for a greater challenge.
