DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Sports Buddies:
Bobby Bowling Paper Craft
With the Olympics coming up and my 6 year old's new favorite sport
being bowling, I thought I'd start some Sports Buddies crafts for the
kids to enjoy. The Bowling Buddy is my eighth addition to the
Sports Buddies. I'll be adding others to the Sports
Crafts index as I make them. |

I wince a little bit doing these buddies because I can imagine all the
requests for buddies with specific country or team colors. Bobby Bowling's color scheme
was made with Great Britain in mind, but would also work for the USA, France, Costa
Rica, Cuba, Dominican
Republic, the Netherlands, the Cook Islands or Cambodia. I'll try to make the
each Sports Buddies a unique color scheme so that hopefully you can find at
least one of them that represents your preferences. And keep in mind --
you can always print the templates in B&W and then color them in
whatever way you like!
I realize bowling isn't an olympic sport... but it is a sport that I love! Plus I figured that it's something that a lot of children have
done either with family or at birthday parties. Bobby Bowling's a bit
dizzy from all the rolling around he does *grin*.
Materials:
- paper
- printer
- something to color with (B&W version)
- scissors
- glue
Instructions:
- Print out the template of choice (you can mix and match the B&W and
color versions if you want less coloring)
- Color the template pieces (if using the B&W version) -- feel free to
use different materials for coloring to add creativity/personality to the
project (paint, markers, pencils and crayons are all fun choices)
- Cut out the template pieces (young children may need help with this step)
- Glue the bowling buddy together:
- Glue the face on the bowling head
- Glue the head onto the neck (shirt)
- Glue the pants under the shirt
- Glue the arms under the shirt sleeves
- Glue the legs under the shorts
- Glue the bowling pin into one of the hands
Printing the Template:
- Close the template window after printing to return to this
screen.
- Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the
template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
