Glow Stick Noodle Bowling

With the extreme heat lately I have tried to find some fun things to do inside to keep cool. I had seen on the Parenting website an article showcasing night bowling outside using glow sticks so I took that idea and changed it a little bit.

1. We went to the basement where is was cool and dark instead of waiting for night time.

2. We used a toy bowling ball at first but then my son grabbed the pool noodle and had a ton of fun knocking over the "pins" with that instead of a ball.

3. I added food coloring to the water bottles and then used 3 glow sticks in each bottle.

The pictures did not turn out as well but it was a lot of fun! :) We also brushed up on our colors, counting, and taking turns during this activity.
