Ready, set, bowl! This whimsical amigurumi play set features funky fungi bowling pins and an adorably plump acorn ball. A carrying basket completes the set and keeps everything together. Let your little ones explore these textured toys, practice standing the mushrooms upright, tossing and catching the ball, and develop the motor skills needed to aim, roll the ball, and knock down those pins. They also make great props for open-ended play for imagining tales of fairies and woodland critters.
