Choosing a fun kids bowling ball just got easier! First thing to determine is the weight your child will need. Bowling balls start at 6 pounds and go all the way up to 16 pounds. Most small children will be in the 6 to 8 pound range. While older kids will be in the 10 to 16 pound range.
Now you will need to decide your price range. Are you looking for a cheaper bowling ball to get started or a ball that may cost a little more but has a great design? If your child is just starting out then you will probably want to go with a plastic bowling ball. Once your child gets passed the beginner stage then you can advance to a mid range ball then onto a high performance ball.
Here are some of the best options for fun beginning bowling balls.

Having your own bowling ball is a better option as you can get it drilled at your local pro shop & that way it is custom fit to your child’s hand. Grab a ball and head to your local bowling center.

Looking for a bowling ball for my 5 year old son that is just starting out. I have heard that I should purchase a plastic ball. Is this correct? If so, what would you recommend? I know there are a lot of kids bowling balls on the market but which is the best?
KidPep says
A plastic bowling ball would be a great ball to start with for your son. You can go with a Brunswick T Zone or a Ebonite Maxim. If you are looking for something a bit fun then you can go with something in the Viz A Ball bowling line which would be something like the smiley bowling ball. I hope this helps if you have any other questions on kids bowling balls let me know!

I really like the smiley face bowling ball – would this ball be appropriate for a youth bowler? She is just starting out and this would be her first bowling ball.

The smiley face bowling ball would be a great starter ball for a youth bowler.
