Mom won't let you play ball in the house, but what about if you made it really, really small? This creative kiddo had the bright idea to swap out bowling pins for pencil erasers and a bowling ball for a marble. Set up everything like a regular bowling lane and get to playing! Flick, roll, or throw to knock down those pins. If you manage a strike with these pieces, that's impressive.

The More You Know

  • Here's a great way to keep track of your daily water intake. Draw lines on your water bottle with a marker pen, and then write the time beside the marked level.
  • When you go to the beach and take your cooler with you, sprinkle salt on the ice so that it stays frozen for much longer.
  • If you accidentally got permanent marker on a piece of furniture, don't lose hope just yet. Using a small dab of non-gel toothpaste, rub the marker stain in a circular motion with a soft cloth and it should buff right out.
  • Have a little paint left in that can, but not enough to warrant keeping that whole huge container around? Just pour it into a washed and dried baby food jar and keep it tightly sealed for touch-ups.
