Bowling Alley
- Use 10 empty, clean milk cartons for the bowling pins. You can put some beans, pennies or other noisy item inside each carton so they provide more auditory feedback to your child when they fall over. Seal the carton well so that your child won't be able to get the small items.
- Arrange the pins in a triangle shape.
- Roll a ball down the "lane" and see how many cartons you can knock over.
- Put a tape recorder with some music playing behind the pins for a child with very limited vision, so he can roll the ball toward the music. Also a strip of fluorescent paper or tape that goes from the child to the pins will help the child to visually locate where to throw the ball.
- Walk to the other end and count how many "pins" were knocked over and then set them up again.
