A while ago I posted about party ideas for toddlers. This past weekend our family finally had our party and it was a blast for everyone involved! A special thanks to disney and momselect for making this all possible! This post focuses on how the party went for my toddler.
For a month leading up to the party, Pumpkin and I enjoyed many Disney books together. I grew up on Disney, so it always feels so much more special when we read disney books together.
When it was finally time to have our party, I ended up not needing all the activities I had planned from my post with toddler party activities. Ultimately I ended up picking just a few that I thought my daughter would like best. We opened up our party with some sit down games-the word search for the older kids and coloring activities for Pumpkin. A quick trip to a local dollar store allowed me to get Pumpkin a brand new coloring book and a pack of 10 jumbo crayons for $2 total! pumpkin LOVED this activity as coloring is a favorite of hers.
After our quiet sit down games, we moved on to "Pin the Smile on Mickey." For this activity, Pumpkin went last. We let her watch as each of us were blindfolded and spun and pinned our smile. Then we spun her around 3x slowly (to feel included) and pointed to Mickey's head. My step daughter ended up winning, but Pumpkin actually did quite well considering I hadn't expected her smile to even make it on Mickey's face!
When it was time for us to all play Bingo, we brought Pumpkin to the table to color again.
Afterwards we moved on to "Snap," a card game that was included in our party pack. Pumpkin, at this age, is more interested in tearing and bending cards than playing a game, so we provided her with a small Disney Princess ball that I purchased for a dollar at our local dollar store. Pumpkin is a HUGE fan of balls so this kept her more than entertained. As we all played Snap, she had a blast throwing and chasing her new ball!
Our activities for Pumpkin may be fairly simple and open ended, but there is no doubt that she had a blast! By the end of the day she was completely exhausted and ready for bed. She enjoyed herself every bit as much as our family and other guests!
