Step-by-step guide

Please take care when crafting and always use adult supervision.

What You Will Need

As many toilet roll tubes as you like, we will use 5

Soft palm-sized throwing balls or pieces of scrap recycled paper, we will use 5

Pens, paints, felt tips and anything you want to decorate with

Step 1

Decorate your skittles, get as creative as you like!

Step 2

If you are creating your own balls, scrunch recycled paper up tightly in your hand. The tighter they are, the better they are to throw. Use thicker card if desired so that they are heavier for longer throws.

Step 3

For bowling: set your skittles up in any pattern you like and take turns knocking as many skittles down as you can!

For coconut shy: set your skittles up in any pattern you like and take turns knocking off as many ‘coconut’ balls as you can!
