MICKEY MOUSE! Who doesn’t love that famous mouse and all his friends? Here are some great ideas for a fun Mickey Mouse party! Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is all about solving puzzles that are essential to accomplishing the day’s goal, so throw your child a birthday party where she and her friends can indulge in the fun and excitement of learning new things as they do. things.
Invitations: Print themed coloring pages from the official Disney Mickey’s Clubhouse website. They are very cute and there are a lot to choose from. On a separate sheet of brightly colored red, blue, or yellow paper, write or print the details of the party: who, when, and where. “Mickey and his friends are having a birthday party and they want you to join the gang!” would be the perfect wording for the Invitation. You can even cut the invitation paper into the shape of Mickey’s head and ears. For extra flair, you can add a few crayons or even a small box of 8. Ask each guest to color their picture for display at the party. Put both papers in an envelope, seal it with the Mickey sticker and send it. This idea works especially well for a young children’s party.
Decorations: For Mickey Mouse party decorations, use lots of red, yellow, and blue streamers and balloons. Have lots of helium-filled balloons, as well as plenty of air-filled balloons floating around the party floor. Cut out a large Mickey head shape from black construction paper with a very large sign that says “Welcome to Mickey Mouse’s house!” and stuffed animals around the scene. Put posters of Mickey and his friends on the wall. Have a designated spot for guests to display their artwork that was sent with the invitation! Using red, yellow, and blue construction paper, cut out several different shapes like circles, squares, doodles, and triangles. Hang shapes on fishing line from the ceiling around the party area or above the party table. Use different lengths of wire to make it look great! You can even do the same with numbers! Cut out numbers from 1 to 9 and place them around the walls. Mickey is all about learning!
Crafts: Make your own Mickey Ears. Buy some black headbands and black foam craft paper. Before the party, pre-cut the ear shapes so all you have to do with the little ones is glue on the ears! Hot glue the ears so guests can wear them right away. You could even prepare them ahead of time and present them to guests as they arrive. Have some pink bows for little Minnie! Make Your Own Mouskespotter: A mousekespotter helps Mickey find the things he needs so when you’re done you can play a little “Eye Spy” game of items around the party area. All you need are cardboard tubes of paper towels and things to decorate like markers, yarn, crayons, stickers, foamies and glitter. Place the decorating materials on the designated craft table and give each child a cardboard tube. Have the kids create and decorate their very own mousekespotter!
Games: I Spot… Play Mickey’s favorite game using shapes, numbers and colors. Before the party, make several large shapes or numbers out of colored paper. You could even use the ones you’ve already created and hung to decorate the party area! Then make sure you have a duplicate of every shape you cut. When it’s time to play, you hold up a shape, say a purple flower, and say “I see a purple flower…do you?” Children will either run to the image that matches the one they are holding or identify the shape by staying seated and using their newly created Mouskespotter. You can play this multiple times, getting a bit more challenging as you go. Musical chairs – with a twist, of course! Instead of chairs, use a flat floor space. Use a variety of large shapes in various colors and stick them firmly to the floor in a circle. At game time, have guests walk around the outside of the circle and when the music stops, they should quickly and carefully sit down on one of the shapes. In each round, remove one of the shapes or place a Disney plush toy in the spot to let kids know the seat is already taken! It would be better to have more seats than kids in the beginning so everyone can play a bit before being eliminated. Get ready for round 2!
Menu: What is Mickey’s favorite song? The “Hot Dog Song” of course! What a perfect meal to serve at mealtimes! If your little one isn’t a fan of hot dogs, try serving Mickey Mouse-shaped pancakes and syrup like they do at Disney World. Since mice love cheese, have a variety of cubed cheeses and crackers for little Mickey and Minnie Mouse to munch on before lunch! Another option is to serve “Mic-Aroni” and cheese. You can even buy macaroons in the shape of Mickey’s head! Bake your own Mickey Mouse cake. Bake one 9″ round cake and two 6″ round cakes. Arrange the cakes so that the larger cake is the face and the two smaller cakes are Mickey’s ears. Frost the face with white icing. Cover the ears with chocolate icing. Pipe your happy birthday wish, some candles, and a small Mickey figurine. Ready! A Mickey Mouse masterpiece!
