A couple of years ago I spotted some large wooden lawn dice at a store, but the price tag was a bit too steep for me, so I decided to make my own. The project was even easier than I expected, and you can find the full yard dice tutorial here.
My boys love bowling, so it’s convenient that the long thin strip of grass in our front yard between the sidewalk and street creates a perfect bowling alley. These colorful bowling pins are soft on the outside but weighted on the bottom which helps them stand up on the uneven surface of the grass.

I'm so glad I just stumbled upon this post because a few months back I picked up lawn dice when they were on clearance at Target and of course I totally forgot about them since the weather was lousy. Now I just got to grab some roundup for my lawn!
