subject: Quick Ideas To Have An Enjoyable Teddy Bear-theme Party [print this page] An amusing teddy bear party is not a difficult thing to organize, putting a little creativity and some things you can find around your house! Here are some quick ideas to make the party super "beary" fun!
Invitation Ideas-
Buy some cheap rubber stamps with images of smiling bear and let your little kids make homemade invitations. Or cut a piece of cardboard in the shape of a bear and write your invitation in this regard. Free clip art can be found for this purpose in many places on the Internet. Be sure to include the request for all guests to bring their own teddy bear toys too!
Decorating Ideas-
When kids think of bears they usually think of honey and bees, so a big hit for decorations is have a bunch of yellow and black balloons and streamers. If possible have several teddy bear toys and drawings around the place.
Menu Ideas-
When you're getting a teddy bear theme party, even the menu should be centered on teddy bear theme. Here is a nice way to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to give the kids a 'beary' fun treat!
Spread your peanut butter and jelly in eight loaves of whole wheat hamburger. Now here is where the fun begins. Cut four of the eight buns in half. In a large tray or baking tray cover, arrange the dumplings in the form of a teddy bear. For the belly, put a whole loaf and surrounds it with 4 loaves. Another whole bun becomes the head or face, two half buns on the topsides as the ears. Two buns become the legs and the last two buns turned out as the body. Decorate the head / face with raisin bread as the eyes and the mouth is decorated with strawberry.
Now you got a yummy bear! Use a separate tray for additional sandwiches.
Activity Ideas-
Make a paper bear chain (paper dolls) that children can color and decorate. Use paper plates to make paper bear masks. Bead a bear collar (necklace) for giveaways. Take a picture with all the children with their own bear costumes and decorate a scrapbook page simply to honor the occasion. Teddy bear decorated cookies with colored icing and various color sweet decorations.
Game Ideas-
If you have an artist in the family, make a large teddy bear on a cardboard and cut out honey pots. Blindfold each child individually and see if they can put the pot of honey in the bear's hand.
Teddy bear dance - pass the teddy bear while the music is on. & when the music stops, the person with the teddy bear is out.
Take Home Gift Ideas-
Purchase yellow lunch bags (available at party stores) and decorate with bee stickers. Fill with gummy bears, miniature teddy bears and jewelries. Or if you want to go all out, hire a party organizer stuffed animal to come and have each child make their own stuffed animal as part of the party.
