WHAT IS “HAPPY FEET”?
Happy Feet is a delightful animated, kids comedy and adventure film about a penguin named Mumble who can not find his heart song and does not sing very well like the rest of the penguins.

Mumble has a special talent. He can dance! Mumble has happy feet and can tap dance like there is no tomorrow.

Birthday Direct has all kinds of party supplies with the Happy Feet pattern. Kids will love to see Happy Feet on all their birthday party favors.

IMPORTANT!
YOU,Mom, should have a great time at your child’s party. This is the highlight of the year for your child.Delegate simple jobs.
 See if you can get a best friend, grandma, or even dad to commit to helping with decorating, wiping up spills, photos, and cleanup. Birthdays should be fun.

BIRTHDAY PARTY PLANNING TIP
If your kids are old enough, set out a couple of digital cameras and let them take turns photograhing the party! They will have a blast! This is a great kids party idea! You know how easy it is to delete bad pics.

Taking lots of pictures and videotaping parts of the party is 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.

As the years go on, you may want to make a DVD with bits of each party streamed together. What fun it will be to see your child as they grow! And they do grow fast!

Where should we party?
Renting the local public indoor pool would be perfect for a penguin party! If you don’t have access to a money tree you might consider a party room at the local recreation center.

This is perfect, inexpensive, lots of room and your house will be free of accidents! People still have birthdays at home. If you have a basement or room that you can move the furniture out for the day, this would be just fine.

DECORATIONS
Order a matching set of streamers, lots of balloons and curling ribbon for Happy Feet.That’s something else you don’t have to worry about.

Use the Happy Feet banner over the food table. A fun party planning idea would be to get a hula hoop- attatch streamers to it. hang from the ceiling with 6 balloons right in the middle.

Check out the musical note shaped balloon. Use this as the center of a balloon boquet that can be displayed on the food table or gift table. Use lots of balloons. They shout “Party!”

ACTIVITIES
For a change, have a craft area where kids can make their own penguins. Have precut paper white oval shapes for the body and black shapes for the head and feet and wings. Have google eyes and glue. Give the kids ideas but, let them use their imagination and creativity.

 HAPPY FEET BUBBLES:
A fun young child’s birthday party idea is to blow lots of “Happy Feet” bubbles with some music.This is also good at the beginning of the party as the kids are arriving.

HAPPY FEET PARTY GAME:
It’s like pin the tail on the donkey, but use a picture of a penguin. Make copies of black feet. Blindfold the kids and you know the rest.

FREEZE DANCE:
Play music from the movie. All kids tap dance and play with HAPPY FEET tamborines. When the music stops the last one moving is out! You could also turn this into a dance contest!

HOT POTATO (sort of):
Always a birthday party favorite game. Order the black music note shaped balloon. Fill with air and use instead of a potato. The last one left wins the balloon! Moms might need to help little ones. Give Happy Feet stickers to those who are out.

FREEZE TAG:
Whoever is IT tries to tag as many kids as he can. When they are tag they must FREEZE. Unfrozen kids can tag the frozen ones to melt them.

LIMBO:
Everyone has fun with this game. Play Kid’s party music you can order from (you know who….) 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. Happy Feet squirt rings make fun consolation prizes.

PINATA:
These have become very popular over the past few years. You can order a cute Happy Feet pinata from Birthdaydirect.com. Fill with small candies and toys. Save this for the grand finale of the party.

BIRTHDAY PARTY FOOD IDEAS
YOUR FOOD TABLE WILL BE THE EYE-CANDY OF THE PARTY- Have you checked out the awesome Mumbles Tap Dancing cake kit ? Practice making a cake long before the party so you can see what you will be getting into.

You could also place little tamborines on the edge of your cake. The easiest way to cut a cake is with dental floss or even fishing line.

Knives cutting through icing and cake can get very messy. If you want to forget a cake, go with easy cupcakes with fun little rings or picks that match Happy Feet. Birthdaydirect has a really neat cupcake holder too. You need to check it out!

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

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

Don’t make a huge ordeal over the menu. You are not putting on a wedding, it’s your kids birthday party. FUN is the key word here! Just pick a few of the ideas for a stress free birthday party!

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-Â Great penguin food! Always a hit with kids.

CHICKEN NUGGETS-All kids love em!

PIZZA- Every kid loves pizza! The perfect party food. Just order and have it delivered. Or…. make an activity out of this and have kids make their own personal pizza from bagels or ready made pizza dough.

SWEET PRETZELS- Coat them in white chocolate and sprinkels

FRUIT-Slice and arrange in pretty designs. Serve with a yogurt dip

TREAT BAGS
Kids love stickers, blowouts,temporary tattoos, keepsake cups, rings. All of these will make a nice treat bag. Also, you might want to give each child an inflated balloon to take home.

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

There is no reason to stress out over a birthday party. 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. But let them choose the pattern.

Birthdaydirect has so many kid’s favorite characters and theme party ideas. Shop with your child and let them show you their favorite ones. Let your child pick their favorite friends to come to the party.

Let them help with choosing what kind of food should be served. They will remember the time you both spent together planning, as much as the party.

BIRTHDAY DIRECT would love to hear how your party went. Go to Penny the Party Planner Blog and tell everything! Send a photo too!
