Mickey Mouse Parties Never Go
Out of Style
Regardless of
geographic location, children of all ages love Mickey Mouse and the rest
of the Disney Gang. As one of the most recognized celebrities in the
world, Mickey Mouse makes a terrific theme for a child’s birthday party.
Mickey Mouse party accessories are available at your favorite on-line
party supplier. Depending upon your budget you can choose to select a few
items to carry the Mickey Mouse theme, or you can select a full party
package. A few items should be considered “must haves” regardless of the
age of the party guests. Mickey Mouse ears can be customized for each
party guest so they double as part of the mood making decorations as well
as a party favor and souvenir of the day.
Another customized theme accessory is the pinata. Pinata’s have quickly
become one of the must do party activities the decade. The pinata doubles
as a decoration and a party game that once the beating and breaking
attempts have begun ends up keeping the guests mesmerized. The activity
also offers another great way to distribute party favors that excites and
energizes the party guests. Consider putting Mickey Mouse Temporary
Tattoos, Stickers, and even Pez dispensers inside the pinata instead of
just candy.
Kids love to have relay races, so consider having a Fantasia Relay race.
To do so, divide the guests into 2 teams. Each team will have a box that
contains one pair of very large white gloves, a wizards hat, a wizard
robe, a belt, a pair of HUGE shoes, and a wand. Each member of the team
will put on the clothes, walk/run around a small obstacle course with a
few things to go around until they get to a small table with a plastic
pitcher of water and some clear plastic cups. The child will pour a cup of
water, pick up a tube of food coloring and put a drop of their choice of
coloring into the water.... then stir it with the wand. Then they should
run back to their team and take off the items while the next person puts
them on. And so on. The first team that has all their magical water mixed
and the fantasia clothes back into the basket/chest/box wins. Obstacles
could relate to the fantasia movie as well, such as dance a circle with a
broom stick or a stuffed hippopotamus.
If the guest list is older consider holding Mouseketeer auditions by
playing karaoke with Disney classic songs. The kids will have a blast
remembering their favorite songs and dancing around to the oldies but
goodies. You can even ask older kids or adults sit in as judges dressed as
Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, or any of the Disney Gang. Make
sure any feedback given is always positive - and for a real laugh have the
judges try to stay in character of who they are supposed to be. Provide
inflatable microphones to the guests for their auditions and voila there
is another favor for them to take home! Tableware, streamers, and other
decorations will round out the party theme and ensure that the guests and
the birthday end will have nothing but fun at their Mickey Mouse Birthday
Party.
