backyard-bowling kids summer outdoor activity game

Who needs fancy toys when you have plastic containers and a ball?

There is all sorts of fun to be had outside this summer, and it doesn’t have to cost you a dime. For backyard bowling, all you need is a ball and something to knock down – we used 32 oz. yogurt containers as our bowling pins, but you could also use plastic water bottles, sippy cups, paper bags, shoe boxes, or anything else you can think of. We had fun making a tower and bowling it down, and just stacking the containers was fun too!

We used a sidewalk as our bowling alley but you could just do it anywhere in your yard. Your kids will love this simple diy outdoor bowling game.

Here are some other inexpensive outdoor fun ideas:
