To make tissue
paper flowers: Fold 3 pieces of bright colored tissue paper accordion
style. Wrap the center of the folded tissues with a pipe cleaner. Then
unfold and fluff out the pieces of tissue paper so that it resembles a
flower. Place 3-4 flowers together as a centerpiece.
Make palm tree
leaves with green butcher paper and tape to
the
wall with a brown trunk.
Now, for the fun!
Balloon
Race: Tie
sticks to the strings of helium filled balloons and race them. Just,
throw the
stick forward and see which balloon will go the farthest.
Balloon
Pop: Sit
on balloons to pop them. On your mark, get set, go! Who can pop theirs
first?
This is more suitable for older guests. The youngest guests will be too
scared.
Make
a My Adventure
Book!
Dream
Home: Draw
pictures of where you’d build your home. Ellie painted their home at Paradise
Falls.
Where would your home be?
Snipe
Hunt: Hide
snipe in room and clap to find it. It doesn’t have to be a snipe. It
could be a
stuffed animal. Ask one guest to leave the room while another guest
hides the
snipe. Then, the guest who was out of the room tries to find the toy.
All the
other guests clap louder the closer the guest gets to the toy…I mean
snipe!
Design
a Snipe: Make
your own snipe from pom poms and feathers, pipe cleaners, googly eyes
and glue.
Set out the materials and have fun!
Squirrel!:
One of
my kids favorite from this movie is the dogs diverting their attention
on
occasion because of a squirrel, or whatever. One of the dogs yells,
“Squirrel!”
and all the dogs look off in the direction they heard the squirrel. Let
your
guests try this. Any time during the party, any one of the guests
yells,
“Squirrel!” everyone has to turn and look in the same direction. |
