Mickey Mouse parties never go out of style
Regardless of geographic location, kids 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 is a fantastic theme for a child’s birthday party. Mickey Mouse party accessories are available from your favorite online party provider. Depending on your budget, you can choose to select a few items to carry the Mickey Mouse theme, or you can select an entire party package. Some items should be considered “must-haves” regardless of the age of the party guests. Mickey Mouse ears can be personalized for each party guest, so they double as part of the mood-setting decorations as well as a party favor and keepsake of the day.
Another custom themed accessory is the piñata. Piñatas have quickly become one of the must-have party activities of the decade. The piñata also serves as decoration and as a party game that once the attempts to hit and break have begun ends up keeping the guests hypnotized. The activity also offers another great way to distribute party favors that excites and energizes party guests. Consider placing Mickey Mouse temporary tattoos, stickers, and even Pez dispensers inside the piñata instead of just candy.
Kids love having relay races, so consider having a Fantasia relay race. To do this, divide the guests into 2 teams. Each team will have a box containing a pair of very large white gloves, a wizard hat, a wizard robe, a belt, a HUGE pair of shoes, and a magic wand. Each team member will put on their clothes, walk / run around a small obstacle course with a few things for everyone until they reach a small table with a plastic water jug and some clear plastic cups. The child will pour a cup of water, take a tube of food coloring and put a drop of the coloring of their choice in the water … then stir it with the wand. They should then run back to their gear and remove the items while the next person puts them on. And so. The first team to have all of their magic water mixed in and the fancy clothes back in the basket / chest / box wins. Obstacles could also be related to the fantasy movie, such as dancing a circle with a broomstick or a stuffed hippo.
If the guest list is larger, try out Mouseketeer by playing karaoke to classic Disney songs. Children will have a great time remembering their favorite songs and dancing to the old but good rhythms. You can even ask older children or adults to sit as judges dressed as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, or any of the Disney Gang. Make sure the feedback you give is always positive and, for the judges to really laugh, try to keep the character of what they are supposed to be. Provide guests with inflatable microphones for their auditions and voila, there’s another favor for them to take home! Dinnerware, streamers and other decorations will complete the party theme and ensure that guests and the end of the birthday have no more fun than at their Mickey Mouse birthday party.
