You'll need
Directions
- Give each empty water bottle a personality by sticking on monster face decals.
- Snap a small glow stick to activate it, then drop one or two into each bottle before screwing the cap back on tightly.
- Have your preschooler set up the bottles in a row; if they struggle with a straight line, lay down a strip of tape as a guide.
- Flip off the lights and start bowling! For extra help, you can stand behind the bottles to point out which one to aim at, challenge them to knock over a specific monster, or see if they can hit a certain color. Make sure the glow-in-the-dark balls are charged beforehand by placing them in a sunny windowsill.
