Halloween Bowling Game with Toilet Paper Roll Printables

By Jen

Okay, this one was super fun to make. I’ve shared plenty of fun Halloween crafts and activities for kids to make over the years. I’ve even shared an awesome Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin bowling game for kids and this Halloween Bowling Game for kids is one of my newest faves!Halloween pumpking bowling with toilet paper rolls with title

Everyone has toilet paper rolls…I know you do! Don’t recycle them, give them a new life. I’ve created 6 printable Halloween characters to use as bowling pins. All you need to add is the little pumpkin bowling ball.

The first step is to gather up the toilet paper rolls. In our house, empty toilet paper rolls are stored in the craft room – they’re one of my favourite craft supplies. You can also purchase cardboard rolls if you prefer. Or cut down any cardboard tube – paper towel roll or wrapping paper roll.

We printed ours on heavier card stock, but you could totally use regular printer paper. Use the scissors to cut out each character. This is a great job for the kids.

Feel free to colour the Halloween characters. You could totally add more details to each monster, ghost, witch and jack o’lantern. Have fun with them!

Set up the pin in a traditional 1-2-3 pattern and grab your little pumpkin bowling ball. If you don’t have a little pumpkin or gourd, a tennis ball will totally do the trick. How far you roll your pumpkin will determine how challenging the game is. The further back will be a whole lot harder!

Maybe you could even create a totally different way to play. I know kids love using these little characters in imaginary play, outside of the bowling game.
