The bowling pins and ball are colorful and cute. The only problem with them is that the children have difficulty getting the pins to sit upright. I need to help them and need to work at it a bit myself. I caught one of the older children trying to juggle the bowling pins which hadn't occurred to me. I do believe the children would play with them more if they could set up the pins themselves.

The game looks great - well made. However, the pins are smaller than I anticipated and will not work for the child I purchased them for.

Very cute monsters. They are small (not too tiny though) and the ball is about the size of a baseball or maybe a bit bigger. My son is not yet 2 so he doesn't get the point but he likes it nonetheless. For the price these are good toys.

I gave this to my one-year-old niece for a birthday present and she just started smiling and laughing immediately. Personally, I love the colorful monsters. She really enjoys trying to throw the ball at the monsters - and so do her 2 year old cousins! Big hit among everyone!

I got this toy for my best friends two year old son who loves "munsters." When he was opening his gifts and got to this he got up and carried it away wanting to play with it right then. He loves the bright colors and all the silly monster faces. I would highly recommend this toy for any child who loves monsters and bright colors. Being an OT, I always love getting toys that will improve his motor skills or stimulate his learning and this definitely does!

Monster Bowling given as gift to 2 yr old (female) Played with the most by 6 yr old neighbor (male) Great toy. Our only suggestion would be to flatten the "pin" bottoms a little more so they stand a bit easier. All in all, we would recommend for ages 2-7 both male and female.

I bought this adorable bowling set for my 2 year old nephew! He was intrigued and thrilled. He loved checking out all the different monsters faces and pointed out each color on each monster. We played it outside on concrete and inside on the kitchen floor. Perfect size and great case to keep it all together in. The first night it was in the house and my nephew headed off to bed his dad (21 years old) and my boyfriend (35 years old) played for at least an hour. Same thing the next night! Lots of laughs! Loved it!

What a Fun Toy!

This was a Christmas gift for a friend's grandson, aged 2 1/2. He just loved it from first sight! First he spent some time with each "bowling pin" and with the "ball", examining them carefully and laughing. when we set up the pins in the hallway and showed him how to bowl, he just laughed and laughed, and played with it again and again. It took him a while to manage to knock the pins down, but he was so taken with the whole idea, he kept trying, and had a marvelous time. I heartily recommend this "bowling" set for this age group.

The pieces were somewhat smaller than I had envisioned, but that is not to take anything away from the item. List height in description? Otherwise, it is all that I hoped that it would be. Colors and designs are wonderful, and the kids use the set in so many different ways in addition to the "bowling" aspect of it. They carry individual pieces around as if they were stuffed toys, which indeed they are! Two brothers, ages two and three, play with them together and come up with incredible ways to utilize all of the pieces.

Not a good toy for a child with special needs
Posted 11/3/2011 by Diana Meyer

Rating:

I bought this for my daughter who has special needs. I thought that the pins would make noise of some sort to draw her attention, also the ball does not roll real nice on the floor. Would love to see the ball a little more weighted to help it roll nicer. However my 6 month old loves everything about this toy. All the bright colors really draw his attention.
In the league of bowling toys, we've got quite a few. If one isn't a strike, we can send another down your lane. We contacted our customer to assist. We'll bowl you over with great service. Please visit the Returns & Exchanges center for details.

Although they're below the age limit, I have 3 18 mo. olds and this is one of the first toys they pull off the shelf in the mornings. The monster pins are bright and colorful and plush enough that the kids like to cuddle them. They can't use the ball to knock them down yet, but they have fun knocking them down with their hands and saying "BOOM!". I think they'll get a few years of fun out of this toy.

The Monster Bowling set is extremely cute and kid friendly. I'm sure my nephews will love this for Christmas this year. The only complaint is that the pins look slightly larger on the computer than what they actually are. Other than that we love the bowling set.

Setting: Homeschool

I have a group of toddlers ranging from 1-4 and sometimes they can get out of order running and playing but when I say "we're going Monster Bowling, everybody sit down so we can take turns" all of my kids 2 and up fall in line. The kids really enjoy this game and it allows them to work on their rolling the ball skills and they love it when they knock down a pin or two. The pins are colorful and that's another skill I can include. We don't always use the ball I'll just sit the pins on the table and we'll explore the colors on the different pins I also like that there are only 6 pins it's not to stressful to the kids with not as many pins to knock down. One thing I would have liked more. If the pins were a vinyl material I could wipe them off. I have to spray with Lysol because they are handled a lot. But that's ok because when it's time I will throw toys away and buy more. Sanitation is very important to me especially when you care for children.

I ordered this toy for my nephew's 2nd birthday. He has a brother who is 7 and a sister who is 6. I ordered this knowing they would enjoy the toy as well. The product is well made and will stand up to a group of 'enthusiastic' children. Doug and Melissa toys enocourage imaginative play that requires little adult supervision and no batteries. The three children were able to play all afternoon - they made up their own rules and had a good time with each other.

We have had a few bowling "toys" that we have played with over the years and Monster Bowling is great. Our kids play it inside which is great because the monster pins are soft and you don't have to worry about them damaging anything. The Monster characters make the game more fun for our kids. I recommend this to all.

A Hit

My grandson is 14 months so he's a little young for a structured game of bowling ... but he does grasp the concept of trying to knock over the monster pins with the ball and enjoys watching that happen. He very much likes things involving balls and I'm sure as he gets older this will be something we'll play often. Another review indicated that the monster pins were difficult to stand up ... but I've found them very easy to set up and not tippy at all. I was pleasantly surprised at how well made and durable the monster pins are. He likes to carry one or two around with him on his 'adventures', unrelated to bowling.

I was very pleased to find an out of the ordinary bowling set for my 2 year old toddler twins. This product has definitely lived up to my expectations as my children including my 4 year old enjoys to play with this. For the younger crowd, the ball that comes with the set is okay although a bit hard to direct. We also bought a Babal ball to use with the set and it works great as a bowling ball when the smaller ball is removed.

Tot Bowling
Posted 3/13/2007 by Michelle G.

Rating:

This product is a lot of fun. Our toddler loves it. The bowling pin characters are totally charming and the bright colors liven up even the grayest rainy day. So far we've had no problems with quality of the set, as it's held up through quite a bit of torture. The only complaint we have (the reason it got four stars and not five) is that the "pins" don't stand up all that well on less than hard surfaces, i.e. carpeting. But, don't let that deter you, because bowling with this bowling set is less than half the fun, there's also monster pin tossing, monster pin snuggling, monster ball catch...

Monster Bowling as Toddler Gift
Posted 2/14/2010

Rating:

We gave this to our 20-month-old daughter for Christmas. She has really enjoyed playing with the monsters and with the ball, even though she didn't actually use them to "bowl" at first. She would sometimes just want to kick the monsters over or to play catch with the ball. Now (at 22 months) she is starting to do a little more bowling with them. But they are a great toy and come in a handy carrying case so they are very portable. It's also nice to have something for her that's a little out of the ordinary. I would recommend this toy for a toddler.

I bought this for my 14 month-old daughter. She is too young to understand the "bowling" part of the game, but she loves the cuddly, colorful monsters, and enjoys tossing the ball. I think it will be more fun when she's a bit older, but we are enjoying it now!

My daughter loved it even before we got it delivered. From the time of ordering until it got here she asked about it and why it was not here yet. Our first online purchase together she was not used to not having instant gratification. Not only did we play with it as a bowling set but she enjoyed them as "dolls" as well.

My 2 yr. old grand nephew adapted to the bowling idea quickly. He held the monsters frequently while visiting, and sometimes held the ball. He tired of the bowling idea rather quickly, but liked the idea of the packing case when leaving. A very nice, well made toy. Each little "monster" was very well made, colorful, and inviting for a two year old.

Not only is it bowling, rolling a ball, knocking something down, it will be fun just to hold and play with the bowling pins since they are stuffed toys! What a knock out idea! It will be for Christmas, but as a teacher it is a 10 on my radar!

We gave the monster bowling set to our 1-3/4 year-old grandson. He loves it! We showed him how to set up the pins and roll the ball towards them to knock them over, and he really enjoys it. He is able to play with the toy by himself and with others. He also likes each of the bowling pins with their soft decorations, and carries them around like stuffed toys. All in all, I would say it is a great toy for children of this age!

Our one year old daughter barely plays with this toy, but having it at our home and seeing her try to interact with it makes me realize that I purchased a little prematurely for her. She just turned one, and I think that once she is able to walk and control the ball a little better, she'll like this toy a little more. For now, however, she loves that the fabric is colorful and squishy.

Gave this to her for her 2nd birthday. She loves it. The colors are exciting and this gives her great opportunities to learn how to throw a ball. Throwing balls is not an easy task for little ones and if they don't learn early, they will be terrible at it forever. I know, I was one of the terrible ones and I am determined to make sure she is good with throwing and catching. I was a little surprised by the size of the monsters. They are smaller than I imagines, but again, we are dealing with toddlers, so I should be more realistic. I recommend this highly.

This was a present for an 22 month old girl. She carries the monsters all over the house and sets them up in different spots many times every day. She has done this for months now. It was her favorite present this year she has not gotten tired of the process. The toy matched her skills and love of balls perfectly. The ball may not always hit the target, but that isn't necessarily her goal each time she plays with it.

I bought this toy as a gift for my four year old autistic son due to his fascination for bowling. The set is made well enough to last a while and easily stores in its bag when not in use. The pins sit up without a problem and the ball is adequate for a child to throw at the cluster, but not really to roll. It is easily substituted, however, with another ball, if that is a concern. The monster pins are engaging and make the toy set much more interesting. Each pin can be assigned a personality and given a story or background while playing with your child which helps build on role playing activities as well as hand eye coordination. My son is really enjoying this toy so far.

Even though this is intended as a Christmas present for a 4 year old niece, I had to bust it out early. It's a little smaller than I envisioned, but should be perfect for tots. The monsters are very well made and unique. Not sure if I or the cats were having more fun with it before wifey came and instructed us play time was over. All in all, this looks to be a good inside toy for little ones, that I bet will get more playtime than many $100 gifts.

Bought for my grandson. He will really enjoy it when his new baby brother comes. He loves monsters and balls. I know it will delight him and his mom and dad as it is quiet but will keep him busy.

A fun and cute bowling set
Posted 10/18/2009 by Kim

Rating:

This toy is a lot smaller than I thought it would be, but I do not consider that a negative since it is much easier to store than I anticipated. My son really liked playing with the pins themselves and trying to knock them down with the ball. My 1-year old daughter liked the pins as well and spent quite a while rolling them around. I think this toy will be a great family activity on holidays, lazy afternoons, etc. It's really a very cute and creative toy!

I recently purchased this set as a gift for a friend's two-year old. He was more fascinated by the colors and design of the dolls than he was of the actual game, but the adults that were showing him how to play definitely had a good time.

Monster Bowling is adorable to look at. The bright colors are a hit with babies. One problem we've found is that not all the monsters stay standing up.

Smaller Than Expected

Setting: Home

The colors were pretty, but the overall appeal for "bowling" was a bit understated. The ball was small (which is fine if it works correctly), and therefore the "pins" didn't fall over easily when then the ball hit them. The bottoms needed to be manipulated so that they stood up solidly.

This bowling set is terrific! I bought it for two girls, ages 4 and 5. Not only is it good for the kids, but the adults love it too. One of my coworkers and I played with it when it arrived. The "pins" are colorful, and it actually works as a bowling set. Also, since they are soft, there is no danger of damage to household items. I would recommend this to anyone.

My children love this toy because of its cuteness. We have a very long hallway and they like to "bowl" down the hall with these little guys. The only problem with the toy is that the pins and ball are like stuffed animals.

However, the soft stuffed monsters are as attractive and well-made as advertised. Plus, I like to think that a small child might lessen her fears of "monsters under the bed" by actively bowling them down! I'm satisfied that this selection will make my 4 year old niece happy.

It was difficult finding a toy for my grandson that was not already in his house. When I saw Monster Bowling, I knew it would be perfect. My grandson is 1 1/2 years old. The monster pins are just the right size for him to hold and line up. And the "bowling ball" has the same good fit quality. Best of all, the bowling kit comes in its own zippered case so no lost monsters!

Our 2 year old son loves playing this game. He gets such a kick out of setting up the monsters and rolling the ball. It is a great game to help with his hand eye coordination. He has enjoyed the game so much that we purchased it for a niece and a friend's 2 year old. I recommend this game to anyone.

My children think Monster Bowling is a fun toy. They like the monsters and actually play monsters more than bowl. The bowling pins don't stand up straight very well and they have a tendency to tip over when they are not supposed to. I think they probably need a heavier weight in the bottom.

My daughter loved the "monster pins" - they are adorable! However, it was difficult for her to get them to stand up and stay up so she could bowl. She is only 2 years old, but I had a few issues getting them to stand myself! Overall, it is a cute product, but I am not sure if I would re-purchase if I knew how frustrated my daughter would get setting up the pins.

My daughter immediately named all the pins as animals - kitty, mouse, doggie, etc...They are cute and snuggly. She carried them around as dolls. They are hard to keep standing because they are not weighted enough on the bottom. We don't use them for their intended purpose. If you want to bowl, maybe try a different product.

My son loves it! He gets a real kick out of knocking down the monsters. My son is a thrower and when he made the connection between throwing the ball and throwing the ball to hit the monsters, he was elated! The feel of each monster is wonderfully soft but firm. The colors are mezmorizing. We just love this toy.

Both my grandson and great nephew love this toy. My grandson at age nine months laughed out loud when the game was set up for him. He rolled the ball into the monsters for many happy minutes. At age two, he still enjoys playing with this bright, happy game. So I sent it to my great nephew who loves it as much as my grandson. This is another great toy from this company.

The toy is beautifully made, and my granddaughter loves it for the feel and design of the monster characters alone, however, the dolls don't always stand up well and the ball should have more substance to function well as a bowling ball. To use it, she had to throw the ball directly at the monsters from above, rather than rolling it. Still, we are happy with our purchase at a fair price.

What I like best is that the Monster pins are brightly colored. They are also very soft and safe. The size is good too, small enough to store away when my niece is not playing but still big enough for small hands to pick up and manipulate easily. The only thing that makes them a little hard to use is the pins have to be grouped closely together so that they can lean on each other. The bottoms aren't as flat as I thought they would be. It takes a little bit of maneuvering to get them all to stand up, but overall it is a great toy. We have had a blast!
