Looking for a joyful unique activity to do with your kids? A stuffed animal birthday party is a great way to teach organizational skills, spark their creative side and encourage pretend play!   

Planning the Party

Party planning is part of the fun!

Invitations:

Spend time with your kid creating the perfect party invitation! This can be a fun craft activity. You can have them hand-deliver to all their favorite stuffed animals. Pretend play is great for kids! You could also invite their friends who may want to join the fun with their stuffed pals.

Decorations:

Set up a table with craft items. You can make any decorations you choose. Maybe a birthday banner, door decorations, or depending on how ambitious you’re feeling, you could try making balloon animals! Don’t forget to make party hats for the stuffies to wear! It’s a fantastic way to get your kids involved, and you’ll have masterpieces to hang around the house when you’re done!

Plan the Menu:

It wouldn’t be a party without cake! You could frost cake or cupcakes to look like animal faces or paw prints! Perhaps you could craft pretend cupcakes for the stuffies to enjoy. What other snacks sound fun? Show your little one how to create a shopping list and discuss when you will complete that part.

Plan for Activities:

There’s no limit to the fun you can have at a birthday party! Here are some suggestions that will surely make a memorable day for your kids and their furry friends:  

• • Themed Costumes: Make the birthday party a costume party. Let your kids show off their interests by helping them dress-up their stuffed animals! 
    
  • Musical Chairs: Who says you can’t play musical chairs with stuffed animal friends? Set up a small circle of chairs so anyone can move them around! 
    
  • Stuffy Spa: Set-up a washing station so your little ones can give their plushies a spa treatment. A small brush to glam them up is a soothing activity for kids.
    
  • Karaoke: Song and dance are essential for any fun birthday party! Encourage your kids to sing their favorite tunes with the accompaniment of their stuffed animal friends.

Remember:  

Kids can be protective of their stuffed animal friends! Let them guide their pretend play. Take pictures so your child can remember this fun day!
