Once my kids choose what type of party theme they want, I get to work on what games can be played or what the cake will look like to support the theme. There’s lots of great party websites out there with supplies, games, and cake ideas. Here’s a few Birthday Party Sites I check out for almost every birthday:
Kids Party Guide – full of themed games Amazing Moms – great site for crafts and parties Family Fun – cake and cupcakes Kaboose – party and birthday cake ideas Care Bear Party – this blog has great Care Bear ideas
For the Care Bear Party, my daughter wanted “cupcakes with fire” (meaning with candles)! I made cupcakes with rainbow colors of frosting. Then shaped the cupcakes on a tray into a rainbow, just like the tummy of Cheer Bear. Way easier than making a cake.
When my daughter’s two friends first arrived, I had blown up balloons for them to kick and hit around. The easiest activity. They would be content on playing with these for the whole hour! Then we played a few games centered around Care Bears: A Care Bear Blanket Toss, Pin the Rainbow Belly Badge on Cheer Bear, and a treasure hunt for their go home goodie bags.
My son has been planning his next birthday theme for months, except it keeps changing. It’s Ninja Turtles, then worms, then Transformers, then Star Wars, and so on. What fun theme’s have you chosen for parties?
Well, we had a great time at the party. I’ve learned what can make or break a party as a parent. I’ll be posting more on birthday tips soon. I hope these ideas inspire you to do your own Care Bear party. Happy Birthday my little princess! SaveSave
