DECK THE HALLS WITH MICKEY
To get the ideas flowing, here are a few options you might want to consider for decorating your party room--Mickey style:
- Set the tone with lots of fun theme decor. Use black, white, red, and yellow streamers and balloons to create a festive atmosphere at a bargain price.
- Be sure to use a themed tablecloth, party ware, and centerpiece to give your table instant appeal. You could also accent the centerpiece with balloons and a Mylar or two.
- If you have any Disney stuffed animals, now is the time to pull them out and use them to accent tables, mantels, etc.
- Cut large Mickey-shaped heads out of black poster board and affix them to the walls.
- A few Mylar's interspersed would also make for a delightful and festive party touch.
- Add a Mickey standee and take photos of each of your little guests posing with it. Then you can have a teen download the photos during party time and slip them into the favor bags.
MICKEY MOUSE PINATA
A string pinata is a great choice for the wee ones and it can do double-duty. During the party, it can serve as a wonderful theme decoration by hanging it from a ceiling or setting it on a table.
When game time arrives, you can string it up and let your little guests take turns pulling on the string in attempts to get the goodies out. Just be sure to fill it with age-appropriate treats. For example, you could get a bunch of those little tiny plastic Ziploc types of bags and fill them with treats like Cheerios, Goldfish crackers, Teddy Grahams, etc. You can also put little party favor items in the pinata like bottles of bubbles, small bath toys, mini chunk books, etc.
COSTUME & PARTY FAVOR IDEAS
You can't have a Mickey Mouse birthday party without ears for all, at least during picture time. Of course, toddlers won't be keeping those babies on their heads for too long, so if the genuine ears are out of financial reach, why not roll up your sleeves and opt for the economical version. Cut the ear shapes out of black felt and sew them to little black headbands.
In addition to the ears, why not have a couple of teens available to paint on a little mouse face as your guests arrive. They can add a little black circle on the end of the nose and a few whiskers. A little blush for extra rosy cheeks could also be done.
Another mouse transformation add-on is a tail. You could create black tails from some fabric or yarn and sew or pin them to a circular piece of black elastic that is sewn into a band shape.
