Homemade Tin Can Backyard Bowling

Looking to recycle  and  have some fun with the kids! Paint cans pretty colors and set them up to create an outdoor bowling game for the kids.

If you have  cans with the pull tab that will be ideal as they are  going to give you a lip that won’t cut little fingers! So keep that in mind!  However any canned good will work including larger coffee tin  cans.  

You can stack them or just lay them out. Use rocks, a ball, even bean bags! Bowling is classic! I don’t care who you are…knocking stuff down is always fun!
