Golfing the Junior Way - part 2

In my last posted I shared how we made the golfing set up for Junior so I wanted to do a second post with him actually using it.  This was a huge hit with him and we can't wait to take him to a real miniature golf place now. 
First Junior wanted to see his shark golfing hole up close now that the paint is dry and the shark is attached.  
 Then we set the boxes around the room(I think we need a few more boxes and the ball really moves so we may try it outside next time as well). 
  
He has his golf balls and is ready to play
 Junior cannot pick up the golf ball himself so I put it in his hand and helped him get his hand onto the tube.  Then he could push with his arm to get it to actually drop into the tube.  This allowed him to do part of it all by himself which is important to him. 

 It's a hole in one
As quick as the balls move we did have the boxes flip over a couple times.  I plan to remedy this by using a hot glue gun to attach a small bean bag to the top of each box.  Abby also thinks I need to get pool noodles and put a bumper around the area we are playing so the balls just bounce back towards us. 
Golfing will definitely be added to his ipad activity board and I suspect it will get chosen often. 
  
I plan to pick up some more pvc very soon to make another golf tube.  We will play and see what happens when we add some different angles to the golf tube.
