I embraced
the task of Room Parent this year at kiddo’s preschool. And it has been so much
fun so far. It has given me so many chances to get out the craft supplies and
make all kinds of stuff.
For his Fall
Party, I wanted to have an interactive game, so I came up with these cute little
owl bowling pins.
I don’t have
a pattern to share but the owl shape is super easy to come up with. Just sketch out a
few patterns until you have the size you want.
Here are the
supplies you will need:
6 empty 2
liter bottles
1 can of
spray paint (the kind that sprays onto plastic. I used Krylon brown)
3-6 sheets
of brown craft foam
2-4 sheets
of yellow craft foam
Heavy duty
double sided foam tape (I found mine at Home Depot)***
Super glue
(the gel kind works the best)***
1 foam
pumpkin
I sketched
the shape of the owl faces. I started with a large circle and went from there
to add the winged tips. I was able to get two faces per piece of craft foam.
I cut small
rings out of the yellow foam and then cut triangles for the beaks.
To make the
eyes more defined, I also cut circles out of the brown foam before adhering the
yellow rings and beaks with the super glue.
Once my
bottles were spray painted and dried, I used the foam tape to stick the owl
faces to the bottles.
***I tired
regular glue and regular double sided tape but they came apart. Super glue and
the heavy duty foam tape held the best; even after being knocked over hundreds
of times by the kiddos.
You could
weigh the bottles down with water or beans or etc. But for the little kids I
decided to leave them empty so they would be easier to knock down. If you weigh
down the bottles, you will need a heavier object to roll into them than a foam
pumpkin.
Enjoy Y’all!
