Harvest Bowling

Bowling with pumpkins and gourds is a great family or party activity that will also help develop your child's motor skills. Look for gourds that are shaped like bottles for an authentic bowling experience.

Materials:

5 small dried gourds
Masking tape
1 or 2 small round pumpkins

Directions:

Set the gourds up like bowling pins.
Stick a strip of masking tape to the floor to make a start line. This should be quite close to the gourds, as the pumpkins will not roll very far.
Show your child how to roll the pumpkins to knock down the gourds. Don't worry about keeping score.
