WHO ARE THE BACKYARDIGANS?
The Backyardigans is an animated musical-adventure series for children ages 2 to 5. In each episode, the show’s five high-spirited preschool friends–Uniqua, Pablo, Tyrone, Tasha, and Austin–rely on their vivid imaginations to transform their backyard into a fantastical 3-D landscape, and together they embark on amazing epic journeys.

BACKYARDIGANS BIRTHDAY PARTY PLANNING TIPS
Kids that come to this birthday party will probably be very young. Remember to keep the first few birthday parties you celebrate short and simple.

Little kids love to just play with a few toys and will probably not remember their special first or second birthday celebrations. That’s why taking lots of pictures and videotaping parts of the first few parties are very important.

Don’t feel like you have to tape every second.. just the highlights. You will miss out on the fun if YOU are the photographer and videographer. Singing the Birthday Song, eating the first few bites of cake, and a shot of all the guests will be a fine memory.

BACKYARDIGANS PARTY DECORATIONS
Your kids love bright colors and the pattern of Backyardigans is full of these. Did you know Birthdaydirect.com has a matching set of streamers, balloons and curling ribbon for each pattern to decorate the whole room?

You will find it fun and easy ordering from their cool “Rainbow of Colors” that their own creative department has already picked for your party pattern. That’s something else you don’t have to worry about.

Check out all their room decorations for a fantastic fun birthday party area! Renting a local recreation center is inexpensive and you won’t have to worry about your house at all. Remember, birthdays are fun!

BACKYARDIGANS PARTY GAMES AND ACTIVITIES
Backyardigans encourages creativity and so should you. Have a simple activity the kids will all enjoy. Remember, the younger they are, the less structure is needed.

Blow lots of bubbles with some fun music.

Have a bunch of big colorful punch balls or bouncy balls that the kids can enjoy. These favors can also be part of their take home birthday party treat.

Remember, you and your child should have FUN at the party! Don’t get stressed!

OLD SCHOOL PARTY GAMES- TRIED AND TRUE

PIN THE TAIL ON THE DONKEY
is a classic birthday party game

HIDDEN TREASURE HUNT
Kids also love to hunt for hidden treasures. Hide small toys throughout the party area and let the kids look for the treats. Have a helper guide kids that can’t find their prize. You can hide their party favors and have them hunt right before the party ends as an exciting grand finale.

BEAN BAG TOSS
with a laundry basket and stuffed animals.

HOT POTATO
Always a birthday party favorite game. Moms might need to help little ones. Give sticker books to those who are out.

LIMBO
Everyone has fun with this game. If you don’t want to buy an official Limbo set, you can have just as much fun holding a long stick and lowering it.

PINATA
These have become very popular over the past few years. You can order ones that have certain shapes, or collapsable ones from Birthdaydirect.com. Fill it with small candies and toys. Save this for the grand finale of the party.

BACKYARDIGANS PARTY FOOD IDEAS

CAKE- Have you checked out the awesome cake kits Birthdaydirect.com has? Kids love animal shaped cakes. Practice making a cake long before the party so you can see what you will be getting into.

The easiest way to cut a cake is with dental floss or a strong string. Knives cutting through icing and cake get very messy. If you want to forget a cake, go with easy cupcakes with fun little rings or picks that match your theme. Birthdaydirect has a really neat cupcake holder too. You need to check it out!

REMEMBER- When kids are excited they don’t eat much. Have simple fun foods. Also, we all know that sugar will get all kids MORE hyper.

Unless your birthday party is in a gymnasium, or a playground, think about the foods you will be serving! Also, this party should be FUN! Don’t make a huge ordeal over this menu. You are not putting on a wedding, it’s your kid’s birthday party. FUN is the key word here!

JELLO JIGGLERS- Always fun and kids love them! For extra fun, slip a gummy fish in blue colored Jello Jigglers before it sets.

FUN SANDWICHES- Use simple shaped cookie cutters to make cute little finger sandwiches. Kids are so excited at birthday parties. Don’t expect them to eat a 3 course meal.

GOLDFISH CRACKERS are always a hit with kids.

VEGETABLES- cut in small pieces with dressing for dipping

FRUIT- with a yogurt dip

BIRTHDAY PARTY PLANNING IDEAS
You could hire a birthday party planner to put together all your kid’s parties… but it really is not that hard to do it yourself.

There are so many ways of having a fun birthday party full of great memories without spending alot of money . FUN is the key word. You know your child and what he/she likes. Let them be the major planner. It is THEIR party.

Of course setting ground rules is important. Let them choose the pattern, their best friends, and even help with what kind of food should be served. They will remember the planning as much as the party if YOU allow them to help.
