Halloween Bowling
Create a fun, and spooky Halloween Bowling game for your next Halloween party.
Servings 1 bowling set
Equipment
- Tacky Glue
Ingredients
- Kids Set of Plastic Bowling Pins at least 13.5" tall
- Cotton Gauze
- Googly Eyes
- Ribbon optional
Instructions
- Roll out a small piece of gauze and place your bowling pin on top of the gauze.
- Start wrapping the gauze tightly around your bowling pin, starting from the bottom, working your way to the top. It just takes a few wraps around the bowling pin to completely cover the pin, and get the oh-so wrapped up look.
- Once you have fully wrapped the bowling pin, dab a small amount of glue onto the gauze and press firmly into place. This should hold your gauze in place. I used tacky glue, which I'd recommend because it holds really well, especially once the kids start playing and knocking these adorable pins down.
- Next, you can apply your googly eyes using a small amount of tacky glue again. Press each eye firmly in place and let dry.
- Leave the mummies to air-dry for a bit before moving on to the next step.
- Once the glue has dried, add some fun and festive Halloween ribbon around the mummy neck.
Notes
The bowling pins I used are only 13.5" tall, so they are fairly small in comparison to regular pins, making it nice when you're wrapping them up - mummy style. I still used quite a few rolls of cotton gauze, even with small bowling pins.
I'd say to be safe purchase extra rolls so you don't run out halfway through wrapping your pins. I bought at least 5 rolls. It helps if you have some kind of dollar store, that's where I found the cotton gauze used.
Working with the gauze is super flexible and very forgivable, which makes this a great activity to let the kids help with, especially if you like the extra hands-on help.
