Summer Fun with Kids — Water Pistol Target Range

Here’s another activity to add to the list of things to do with the kids this Summer — Make your own water pistol target range! Emily and Clara had such a GREAT time with this, and it’s super easy to set up. Start by stacking some paper cups into a pyramid shape, as shown below. Then use some dollar store water pistols to try to shoot them down! No water pistols on-hand? Spray bottles filled with water would work well too.

Emily was having so much fun with this, that she invited Clara to join her — they LOVED trying to shoot each other’s pyramids down! There were so many smiles and giggles!!!

It was a close match every time. I think Clara should earn extra bonus points for shooting with one leg in the air — such concentration!

Great frugal, active, outdoor fun!

Looking for more great ways to beat the heat?? Here are 10 of our favorite cheap ways to keep cool this Summer!

  1. Dear Valerie,

    After all of the rain we got, you’re adding more water to the grass!? Gah!!

    Also, I like the new look. You must have had some pretty talented help in setting all of this up! *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*…

    Love,
    Mark

  2. Yes, Clara deserves extra points- her marksmanship style is definitely unique!

  3. I love your new picture Valerie! It’s gorgeous.

    This has been on my to do list. How do you keep doing the stuff on my to do list before I do? Did you read my mind?

  4. Oh fun! I think I would have as much fun with that as the kids.
