Make the best use of stuffed cuddly animals and house plants to create your very own environmentally friendly mini-golf course. Depending on the amount of stuffed toys you have, there’s a real opportunity to be creative here, by basing holes around one specific animal and having them act as one main obstacle. If you can, why not have a few of the ‘wilder’ courses out in the garden?
