Elmo Birthday Party - Celebrate Your Little Monster's Birthday With the Original "Little Monster"

By Mary Setter

Did you know that Elmo, the puppet from Sesame Street didn't exist as one of their main characters? He sat around as a little red puppet that no one knew how to incorporate into the show? Every now and then, someone would come by, pick him up and try to make a voice and personality for him, but until the l980's, when Kevin Clash raised him up and began to play, there really wasn't much to Elmo. When he brought the puppet to life with his voice and personality, the writers for Sesame Street began writing for him, and eventually Elmo ended up with a 15 minute spot on Sesame Street. His career includes appearances on The Rosie O'Donnel show, a couple of movies, and he is actually the only puppet known to testify in court for the furthering of music education. Quite a lot of action for a puppet.

So what's his appeal to children? He is full of childlike wonder. He is optimistic and curious. He is soft and cuddly and red, and has a trademark giggle that is contagious. And, as he describes himself, he is 3 1/2 years old. He can relate to kids. So where is this leading? Into some fun and creative ideas to make a toddler's birthday a hit!

1. Send out Elmo invitations and ask the kids to dress up as their favorite Sesame Street Characters. Make sure you have plenty of plates, napkins, cups, and party favors with Elmo on it. Decorate with red balloons and red crepe paper. Make a cake that looks like Elmo with colored red coconut to give the furry look you want. Have Elmo's best friend, Dorothy the Goldfish, in a safe corner for the kids to admire. Or, as one of the gifts, you could give your child a goldfish. Depending on the age, it is fun to have something live in the house and it can be good for learning some simple responsibility early on.


2. Create a Sesame Street in your own home. Garbage can, brick wall scene setter, and a Big Bird Stand-up. Invite the other parents of the guests to take part in voicing some puppets from Sesame Street for a puppet show. You could always dress up as Sesame Street Characters yourself, get the child's siblings enrolled, or the other adults, and do a live-action broadcast of Sesame Street. We all need to unwind sometimes. What a way to let go for a few minutes, or hours, depending on how much fun you are having.


3. Watch an Elmo movie. Have a big screen TV, or a projector for the wall, and make it a "going to the movies" adventure. You could rent a popcorn machine, have a soda fountain, and some candy, and let the kids sprawl out on the floor and enjoy. You may want to put down some large sheets of plastic in case of spills. Red, disposable table cloths would be great for that.


4. Other Activities: How about an Elmo Pinata? Pinatas have all time appeal. Kids love to whack at things, and when those things produce an abundance of candy, its even better. You could buy some Sesame Street coloring books for the kids to color. Or they could make some hand puppets of Elmo, or another favorite Sesame Street character. With a little supervision, paper bags, good crayons, colored yarn, and some craft eyeballs, they could work some wonders in creating hand puppets. Then let the kids put on their own show.

Get started looking for the Elmo Birthday Party Supplies you will want. Keep "Oscar" close by for cleanup, and make some memories that will last.

Party Themes - Top 4 Girl Birthday Party Themes

Party Themes - Top 4 Girl Birthday Party Themes

By Chelsea Gillespie

Planning a child's birthday party is never easy. Children can be very particular in their tastes and wants. It can be a daunting task to have to find the exact theme your child wants at an affordable price. Throughout this article I will list several ideas for different girls birthday party themes.

1. Disney Princess- Most little girls have a favorite Disney princess. Whether it's Cinderella, Bell, Ariel, or the newest Disney princess; Princess Tiana, from Princess And The Frog. No matter the princess it is always a good option for a girl's birthday party. Most Disney products are well stocked and easy to find at any party store location. This makes it that much more appealing for your daughters upcoming birthday.

2. Barbie- Whether your little girl is mesmerized by the adventurous Barbie Princess movies or she just loves to play with Barbies; the Barbie party line is a great choice. Many places that sell Barbie birthday themes will have a wide variety to choose from. Much like Disney Princesses your daughter will have her favorite one, making it imperative that you find the right one. Searching online before going to a store is a sure way to know what the store will carry. Don't be afraid to call the store and ask if they have the specific item you need. This will help you avoid a trip back to their return counter and an upset little girl.

3. Stripes or Polka Dots- If the birthday girl is older than 12 you might have a harder time with themes. Sometimes it is safer to do a theme that is a little more general. Stripes and polka dot colors in very vibrant and fun colors can be just the trick to put a smile on their face. Lime green and pink or brown and pink are a very fun and young color pairing that most teenagers will love. It is easiest to shop with them and learn what their style is. Take them to the store with you and find out exactly what they want.

4. Twilight- Another popular teen theme right now is Twilight. Teen girls seem to crave the men of Twilight and would love a whole event themed around the vampires. The popularity of the party theme can cause the prices to be high. I would recommend you look online to compare prices with other places. This will assure that you are getting the best deal for your daughters birthday party.

I hope these ideas will help guide your party planning for that special birthday girl. Make sure you keep the party about her and be aware of what she prefers. With a little planning, shopping and love she will have the best party that she could have ever imagined.

Construction Cake Ideas for a Construction Birthday Party

Construction Cake Ideas For a Construction Birthday Party

By Elizabeth Chastain

If you're planning a construction birthday party or a Bob The Builder birthday party, and are in need of some quick and easy ideas for creating a fun and fabulous construction cake, here's a few possibilities to get your creative juices flowing:

CONSTRUCTION CAKE #1

Make or buy a sheet cake and frost it with chocolate and green frostings. Create mounds of "dirt" by placing blops of chocolate frosting onto the cake and sprinkle with cookie crumbs or brown sugar. Add plastic dump trucks, bulldozers, excavators, trees, shrubs, signs, etc. to finish your site.

CONSTRUCTION CAKE #2

Make or buy a white cake and tint frosting appropriate colors to make roadways, dirt, sky, and grass. In the alternative, you can use brown sugar to create your roadways, and airbrush blue onto the cake for your sky and green airbrushing for your grass. Also, you could tint some coconut green and add it to your airbrushed grass area to enhance the look of grass. Top with plastic trucks and construction workers. Write "Happy Birthday Foreman (Child's Name) in cake gel.

DUMP TRUCK DIRT CAKE

1 pkg. Oreo cookies

1/2 c butter, softened

1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened

1 c powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 (3 1/2 oz.) pkg. instant chocolate pudding

3 c milk

1 (12 oz.) tub Cool Whip, thawed

Gummy worms (one for each child)

Crush Oreos. Put 1/3 of the Oreos into a new or clean, foil-lined dump truck. Beat the butter, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla together. Set aside. Combine the milk and pudding mix. Fold the Cool Whip into the pudding. Fold together pudding mixture and cream cheese mixture. Alternately, layer the pudding mixture and the cookie crumbs in the dump truck. Put worms in "soil" so they are seen emerging. Chill 3-4 hours and serve with plastic shovel.

EDIBLE DUMP TRUCK CAKE

Fill a new or clean foil-lined dump truck with chunks of chocolate pound cake. Right before serving, add scoops of ice cream and top with whip cream or whipped topping and sprinkles.

DUMP TRUCK BROWNIES

If you are looking for a cake alternative, you could fill a clean, foil-lined dump truck with brownies. They will look like your truck is filled with dirt. You can have ice cream and/or whip cream available for topping the individual servings.

CONSTRUCTION HARD HAT CAKE

Bake your cakes in a Pyrex bowl and a small single layer cake pan. After cakes have cooled, place the small cake slightly underneath the hard hat to create the hard hat rim. Frost them both bright yellow and write the birthday child's name and "BOSS" on front of the "hard hat."

CONSTRUCTION CAKE QUICKIES

Buy a frosted sheet cake and top it with an edible sugar art image of a construction scene or a construction cake topper. Add your Happy Birthday message and you're good to go.

Minnie Mouse Birthday Theme

Planning a Terrrific Minnie Mouse Birthday Party

By Thor Hanso

Minnie Mouse is an iconic figure that people know throughout the world. Minnie is part of the Disney characters and one of the first set of characters. Minnie is commonly known as Mickey Mouse's girlfriend which begs the question why hasn't he married her yet? But we digress. You are looking to host the best Minnie Mouse birthday party ever and you've just started. There is plenty of information on this popular theme and plenty of stuff to pre-purchase of create yourself.

When planning just about any birthday party you'll need a cake, decorations, party favors and games. Those are the four key elements of any good party. The rest of the things that people discuss such as party invitations, costumes, etc are a nice touch but not necessary especially when discussing such a well known and popular theme!

The first thing to consider is the Minnie Mouse cake. You have a few different options which include creating it yourself or buying one from a local bakery. If you opt to buy one be sure to plan in advance as they will need usually a week to prepare the cake. As well, a store bought cake will usually be more expensive then the alternative. If you want to make the cake yourself but don't have great decorating skills don't be worried. You can simply put a layer of white icing on the top and place cake toppers on the top. These cake toppers make a great toy afterwards too! If you have more cake decorating skills then consider purchasing a Minnie Mouse or Mickey Mouse cake pan. You simply pour the batter into the pan, bake it and it will come out in the shape of Minnie. You then ice the cake with her features and create your very own Minnie Mouse Cake. It's actually not as challenging as it sounds and you'll be surprised how well it will turn out!

Next you'll want to consider the decorations. Luckily you have a very easy theme to decorate and simply need streamers, balloons and a few themed items. In fact, you can probably re-use old decorations as long as they are in the typical Disney or Minnie colors. You can also purchase a cardboard stand-up of Minnie which is makes a great photo opportunity for the parents and kids. Having themed tableware for the party is also a nice touch.

The games and party favors can often be combined. You can purchase party favors which can be used as part of the games. This would include who can draw the best Minnie Mouse (or if they are boys a Mickey Mouse). However, it is more common to have a party favor that is separate from the games. In this case you can buy pre-assembled party favor boxes which are licensed by Disney. The alternative is to visit your local dollar store or Walmart and create your own party favors! However you create the party be sure to try and enjoy the party as much as the children!
