Gourds aren’t just for decoration… Help develop your toddler’s coordination with this adorable take on bowling!

Set up a variety of gourds at the end of a masking tape “alley.” Look for ones that are shaped similar to bowling pins, wide on the bottom and tapering on top.

Use a small sugar pumpkin as the bowling ball. Adults can give the pumpkin a roll all the way from the end of the alley.

Kids will likely have to roll from very close, but that won’t dampen their excitement when all the “pins” fall over.

Strike!
