For my daughter's class Halloween party I volunteered to bring a game. A quick little search on Pinterest and I got the idea for Pumpkin Bowling! Because my daughter's Kindergarten class loved it and because it was quick and easy to make, I thought I would share the details here!
Supplies Needed:
10 tin cans
Felt in a variety of Halloween colors
Scissors
Glue gun and glue sticks
Small pumpkin
Directions:
1. Wash out your empty cans
2. Cut a strip of felt to wrap around each can (I cut mine long enough to overlap the felt a little in the back)
3. Glue the felt in place around the can
4. Cut a circle of felt to fit the bottom of the can
5. Glue the felt to the bottom of the can
4. Turn the cans over so the felt circle is now on top and decorate each can to look like your favorite Halloween character! Really, with just a few simple shapes anyone - whether you are "crafty" or not - can make a variety of spook-tacular Halloween friends!
Two black ovals and one black circle on a white background make a simple and perfect ghost.
Didn't this Frankenstein turn out adorable? He's my favorite!
Just some circles and triangles plus a couple wings make this cute little bat!
Here's a close-up of the happy Jack-o'-Lantern.
This cat was my daughter's favorite. Triangles, circles, and some simple strips of felt for the whiskers.
You can set the cans up like traditional bowling pins or, for a more simple game, you can stack them on top of each other. Roll a small pumpkin towards them and see how many cans you can knock down!
Happy Bowling!
P.S. If you haven't been saving your tin cans and you need 10 of them fast, you can try out my recipe for 12-can Slow Cooker Taco Soup found here.
