Kids love games like good old fashioned catch. This schoolyard favorite just got an update. The game Diggin Squap helps kids work on hand-eye coordination. Just toss the balls by opening up the mitt and catching by snapping the mitt shut. As an extra bonus, the balls store inside the mitt.
Knock ’em down! The Melissa & Doug Monster Bowling Set is the perfect active indoor activity. This set comes with 6 silly furry monster bowling pins and a crazy-looking monster ball. The monster bowling pins are plush and have weighted bottoms. Fun for all ages! Stores easily in a zippered carrying case.
Outside In Games sent us their BoHo Bowling 10-Pin Set for review. Our little testers were extremely eager to get their hands on these adorable fuzzy felted wool critters. Each animal is handmade in Nepal which might be part of their charm! The 10-pin set includes a 3″ felted wool ball, 10 felted wool animal pins and a cotton drawstring bag to store everything.
What We Like:
- The animals are vibrantly colored with swiss dyes making them very appealing to look at. Such great detail!
- The pins and ball are small enough for a child’s hand so they can easily set them up and knock them down.
- Unlike plastic pins, these soft animals don’t hurt if they get thrown. They also don’t make a lot of noise when they all go tumbling down.
What the Kids Like:
- Besides being a fun toy to play with in it’s intended way, they enjoy playing with them like they would any stuffed animal or play set.
- Like any bowling set they really had fun setting the pins up in order and knocking them down.
