Summary:
“Skittles” is an excellent outdoor activity that helps develop children’s cognitive and fine motor skill. It can also get competitive, so the children may keep themselves entertained for hours.
Materials:
5 plastic drink bottles (1.25 Litres)
- Water
- Sand
- Masking tape
- Powder dye
- Balls
Method:
- Put powder dye in sand if you would like to have different coloured bottles
- Put a small amount of sand or water into each bottle to weigh them down
- Secure the lid with tape
- Line the bottles up in a row
- Let the children roll or throw the balls to knock them over
- You can also arrange the bottles further apart, to make the game more difficult, or arrange them in shapes rather than in a straight line
