You’ve got a toddler who’s full of energy but not quite ready for a full-sized bowling alley, and you need something that’ll burn off some of that steam without being a hazard. We sell these custom soft plush mini bowling game sets to daycare centers all the time, and what they like is how it gets the kids moving—chasing, rolling, and reaching for those animal-shaped pins. It’s basically a controlled chaos, but the super soft fabric means no one’s crying over a bumped corner or a hard plastic edge.
The pins are about 9 by 9 by 22 centimeters each, stuffed with enough fill to hold their shape but still squishy enough that a 2-year-old can knock them over with a gentle toss. You’re getting 24 pieces per carton, which is a standard MOQ for most orders, and the multicolor options mean you can mix sets for variety. It’s machine washable, which is huge for us because we know how quickly these things get sticky—hand wash works too, but most buyers just throw them in a load.
One buyer we work with uses them in an occupational therapy setting to work on hand-eye coordination, and they’ve had good results with kids who are maybe 3 to 5 years old. That said, it’s really not suited for older kids—once they’re past 6, the appeal drops off fast, and they’ll want something with more complexity or electronic features. The visual stimulation from bright animal prints helps with color recognition, but don’t expect it to hold attention for hours; it’s more of a 15-minute active play then a break and a repeat.
We usually have stock on the standard multicolor mix, but OEM orders—say with your logo or a custom animal shape—add about 20 days or so to the lead time. Check the carton dimensoins if you’re shippng internationally, because 69 by 55.5 by 70 cm can catch you off guard with freight costs. For a first order, we’d recommend starting at teh 24-piece carton; it’s a safe bet for testing the market.
Each pin is 9cm wide, 9cm deep, and 22cm tall. The ball size isn't listed separately, but the set is designed for small hands—perfect for kids aged 1 to 6.
For OEM orders, we typically require 1000 pieces per design, but we can discuss smaller runs for initial samples. Just reach out with your specific needs.
Standard production takes 25-30 days after sample approval. Shipping adds 15-30 days depending on the method. We can rush it if you need a tighter timeline.
Yes, we can provide test reports showing compliance with EN71, ASTM F963, and other international toy safety requirements. Just let us know which standard you need.
For light dirt, a damp cloth works fine. For deeper cleaning, both hand wash and machine wash are fine—the super soft fabric holds up well to washing without losing shape.
