 For the beak, draw a small line next to your eye with the beak having a sharp point and a conical shape (cone)

On the body of your duck, draw a cloud shape making sure you leave a small unfinished gap at the top of your cloud

Indoor Bowling

In this post, you will find a step by step guide on how to make and play your own indoor bowling game

 

To play this game:

 

You first will need to arrange your bottles into a pyramid similar to the image below

 

 

To do this, place three bottles first each in a line with a 1 inch bag in between each of them

 

Next, place another 2 bottles in front of the current 3

 

Finally, place 1 more bottle ahead of the 2 bottles you have just placed

 

With your bottles all placed, all you need to do now is take a couple of steps back, and roll your ball so that it can knock down as many bottles as possible

 

To progress this game:

• You could use a smaller ball
• Try using bigger plastic bottles
• Play this game outside 
• Go more steps back from the target to test your rolling ability
  

Thanks guys and hope you enjoyed the blog post today. Be sure to leave a comment on how you found playing this game and be sure to check out our some of my other blog posts I have posted. 😊
