Today I’m going to show you How to Make a Mummy Bowling Game for Halloween.  This is an awesome craft if you have a group of kids or better yet…. at a Halloween Party.  Made with water bottles and toilet paper its a fun craft that doesn’t end when the craft is finished.  Once you finished making the Mummies it’s time to play… Roll the ball and knock over those Mummies.

Check out our other Halloween Crafts.

Materials Needed

10 Ball Pit Balls or Cheapo Balls from the Dollar Store

10 Water Bottles

Gravel, Sand or Water

Toilet Paper

Black Marker

Basketball or Kickball

Scissors

Step 1

We used ball pit balls for the heads… but you can use other types of cheapo balls from the Dollar Store for the heads.  Cut a hole big enough that you will be able to fit it on top of a water bottle.

Step 2

We filled the water bottle with just a little bit of gravel, but you could also use some sand or water to make the bottles heavy enough that they won’t tip over on their own… but are easy enough to topple over with a ball.

Step 3

Now, place the ball on the water bottle as the new cap.

Step 4

Now, wrap the bottle with toilet paper.  Tape down in a few different spots.

Step 5

Draw the face.  The mouth is just a line with lines thru it.  Each eye is a circle, but partly hidden by bandages.

Step 6

You need to make 10 mummies… so this is a great project for groups of kids to make.  Just use a kickball or a toddler basketball for the bowling ball.

Now, tell me that isn’t a great project for a Halloween party?  I don’t know which will be more fun…. making the craft or playing Mummy Bowling.  Have fun!!

Making a Velcro Bullseye Ball Tossing Game to Make Crafts Idea for Kids

Crafts Materials Needed

– Felt Pieces of Different Colors
– Scissors
– Glue
– Bowls and Cups to Trace Circles With
– Marker
– Small balls such as Ping Pong Balls or Plastic Golf Balls (found in bulk at Walmart)
– Cardboard
– Ribbon or Yarn or String or Cord
– Strong Tape

Step 1

Get a few small balls…at least 3. Glue the Velcro (the side that is scratchy) all over the ball…I used circle Velcro pieces that have adhesive on one side and Velcro on the other…this was easier than gluing for me.

Step 2

Get different sized round objects to trace perfect circles onto felt.

Step 4

Cut out the felt circle

Step 4

Do this for all the different sizes and colors that you need. I did it with 4 different sizes and colors of felt. Glue them all together.

Step 5

Cut out a start and paste it in the center.

Step 6

Glue the game to a piece of cardboard. When it dries….cut out the circle along with the cardboard. This will keep the game strong.

Also cut out felt number and put them on the game board. If you don’t have the time, just use a sharpie marker.

Step 7

Turn the game board around. Duct Tape (or other type of strong tape) a piece of string, ribbon, yarn, cord, or whatever to the back of the game board, in a loop. This is how you will hang your bullseye board to play with it.

Step 8

We hung our Velcro Bulls-Eye Ball Game on a Light Switch in our Dining room. The kids love it and the cats have fun trying to attack the hanging balls.
