Costumes

In order to make the party more special, I made bowling shirts for all the kids.  The colors were purple, turquoise, and yellow, so the shirts were purple with turquoise sleeves and collar.  I used a print shop and iron-on paper to create a picture on back with a bowling ball hitting the pins, and then I put "Benjamin's Pin Pals" on it too. On the front I put each child's name on it with yellow puffy paint. THEY LOVED THEM!!    I also made "hats" for the kids.  I ordered plastic head bands with the springs on them with Styrofoam shapes on the end. I took off the Styrofoam shapes and attached fun foam (sold in craft stores) in the shapes of a bowling ball on one side and bowling pin on the other. So the kids wore those too.

Food

Then we had cake which was purchased at Wal-Mart- they did a wonderful job of spray-painting a bowling alley lane on the cake.  I purchased candles that looked like pins and a ball which I made it look like they were on the lane.

Games and Activities

We bowled first and the kids had so much fun because many of them had never bowled before. We had them do regular bowling at first. Then had them do crazy bowling by making up silly things to do like spin around, close their eyes, etc. While I was getting things set up for cake, I had a parent helper read them a book I got from the library called "I Can Bowl", which is perfect for young children. It was a nice transition and got the kids calmed down some.

I purchased a bowling pin piñata from Birthday Express and filled it with eight goodie bags of candy. It was a pull-string piñata so I didn't need to worry about a stick and small children swinging the stick!! When the goodies fell each child got a bag and there was no fighting and pushing for candy.   Then we played "Strike". I used a yellow poster board and attached white construction paper pins in a 10 pin set-up. Then each child had a purple paper bowling ball with their name on it. We blind folded them, and then the children attached their ball to the poster board.  The child closest to the front pin won! Although all the children got a prize of a small 2" plastic bowling set I got from Oriental Trading.
