What a fun idea using the soup cans! I love the bright colors! My kids and I have used plastic water bottles with a couple of pebbles placed inside to help weight the bottles to keep them upright. Our hallway works as the "bowling alley" the narrow space helping to contain the pins and direct the ball.
