Daniel Tiger Birthday Party

Invitation

I'm all about the evite. Instead of using an evite with a photo of E, I downloaded an image of Daniel Tiger (on the left) and matched it with a pre-existing evite template (on the right).


Decorations

Tiger Striped Balloons:

2 bundles of colourful ones, 1 bundle of 3 orange tiger striped balloons tied to the roadside lamp at front of house.

Character Signs:
Printables from here.

5 tissue paper party decorations, printables taped on.

2. Giant Bubble Wands
My mom brought large bubble wands that make giant bubbles. A ton of bubbles from the dollar store in a bucket and the kids were entertained for quite a while!


3. Relay Race and Crowns
Pre-cut the crowns from yellow bristol board and then just had to tape and trim the crown for each kid.

We did a series of 3 races in 2 teams with kids and adults participating.

  • Shoe Hunt (one shoe each, one pile)
    • All participants take off one shoe and put them in a big pile
    • 2 teams line up and race one at a time to find their shoes
  • Over-Under
    • Each team gets a ball and it is moved over one person's head and then between the next person's legs. Once you pass the ball you go to the back of the line. 
    • We repeated the whole team twice
  • Walk with child on your feet past a finish line
Menu
  • Large cooler of water
    • Kept outside to keep everyone hydrated
  • Tiger Juice (inspiration)
    • No Name Orange punch made according to package instructions
    • Added in one drop of red food colouring per can of punch to turn it even orangey-er
    • I used electrical tape to decorate a clear glass juice jug
  • Catered sandwiches by Seven Shores
  • Macaroni Salad (no mayo or tuna)
  • Veggie Tray
  • Nacho Dip & Nachos
  • Devilled Eggs
Cake

The cake was a strawberry lemonade cake with buttercream frosting from Tiny Cakes in Cambridge. It was delicious! I added the Daniel Tiger characters, borrowed from a friend, and the candles.



Favours

I drew tiger faces and stripes on individual packs of mandarin oranges with a sharpie (inspiration) and printed off masks and attached them to popsicle sticks.
