Fun Activities

Pretzel-Dough Fun

Prepare dough before the party, and let guests sculpt their own special VeggieTales character to take home! To make dough for four guests, measure 1 1/2 cups warm water into a large bowl. Add a package of dry yeast and blend. Combine and add 1 tsp. salt, 1 Tbs. sugar, and 4 cups of flour. Mix and knead dough with your hands. Cover and set aside for 2 hours. On the big day, protect your table with an oilcloth or vinyl tablecloth. Give each guest a portion of dough and a bit of flour. Encourage them to flour their hands and knead the dough before shaping their VeggieTales character. When they are finished, place the creations on greased baking sheets, brush them with beaten egg, and bake at 350° F for about 15 minutes.

Learn to Like Your Veggies!
Write the names of VeggieTales characters (or different kinds of vegetables if guests are not familiar with all of them) on masking tape and stick one on each child’s back. In order to discover what character they are, each child must ask questions that can be answered with "Yes" or "No." If kids have trouble thinking of questions, help them think of some: "Am I round and plump?" "Can you turn me into a pickle?" Hint: This game can also be altered to play charades, where each guest chooses a character randomly from a hat. While he or she acts out the chosen character, party guests will have fun guessing which character it is!

Make Me Giggle
The title describes this game best because the object of the game is to make someone laugh! Choose a child to be first, and form a circle around him or her. Let the guests in the circle sing silly songs, tell jokes, or make funny faces to try and make the person in the middle laugh. As long as the circle does not touch the person in the middle (no tickling!), anything goes. See who can go the longest without laughing!

Friendly Follow the Leader
Join in the fun with this silly activity! Choose a leader and have all the party guests line up behind him or her. As the leader makes all sorts of creative moves, the rest of the line follows. If the leader needs some help you can suggest hopping, jumping, twirling, rolling on the ground, etc. Pick a new leader every few minutes, and play music for added fun. Continue until everyone has had a turn, or until they’re ready for a new activity.

Tell a Tale
Seat your guests in a circle and read them a VeggieTales story. Or, if you prefer, you can let the children watch a VeggieTales video or cartoon. This is a wonderful activity for keeping the kids entertained, and it will help them calm down before they return home.

Delectable Treats

Silly Shape Sandwiches
Get the gang together for these fun-shaped sandwiches! Make your child’s favorite kind of sandwich, and use cookie cutters to cut them into fun shapes. Let guests choose their own shapes by selecting from a tray of sandwiches.

Frankencelery
Your kids will forget this recipe is healthy when they see how fun it is! Cut celery into six inch lengths, and provide enough so each guest can create their own Frankencelery character. Fill the curve with of the peanut butter, and place a dish of raisins on the table for kids to eyes, ears, nose, and hair. This recipe can also be fun for the birthday child to help prepare before the party.

Mr. Lunt’s Crunchy Vegetable Dip
Your guests will be delighted when they see who you’ve invited over for lunch! Create your own VeggieTales character by simply scraping out the insides of a small pumpkin. If pumpkins are not in season, use a large butternut squash instead. Wash the pumpkin and then turn it upside down to dry. Fill it with your child’s’ favorite dip and set it on a bed of lettuce. Arrange an assortment of freshly sliced vegetables on top of the lettuce. Place a small hat on top of Mr. Lunt after you’ve filled him with dip, and sketch a silly face for added fun.

Bumblyburg Berry Smoothies
Create the sweet treat that everyone enjoys in Bumblyburg! You will need the following: 1 qt frozen vanilla yogurt; 1 qt fresh berries of your choice: strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, etc.; 6 ice cubes; and 2 liters Raspberry Ginger Ale. Whirl fruit, yogurt, and ice cubes in a blender. Combine half ginger ale and yogurt mixture in a punch bowl for thick smoothies. Add remainder of the ginger ale for a thinner mixture.

Larry’s Lip Smacking Lemonade
Make Larry’s favorite party drink at home! Combine 2 cups of sugar, 1 cup lemon juice, and the juice from 6 freshly squeezed lemons. Stir until sugar dissolves completely. Pour the mixture into a 2-quart container and fill with cold water. Add ice to cool. Makes 12 (8 ounce) servings. For the finishing touch, pour lemonade into a punch bowl and add a few drops of yellow food coloring to create a colorful and tasty treat!

Decorating Tips

Spread your tablecover on your party table. If your child has any theme-related toys, you can add them to the table for a more festive display. Cut several one-to-two-foot-long pieces of curling ribbon. Curl the ribbon by pulling it between your thumb and the blade of your scissors. Lay the resulting curls on your table for added color. Hang balloons in bunches for the best effect. If you choose to fill balloons with helium, wait until the party day to ensure they float well!

Use balloons to mark the party spot; hang them on the mailbox, near the front door, or tie them to the birthday child's chair to mark the seat of honor.

Place balloons anywhere that strikes your fancy. The more the better!

Gather six or eight streamers and attach them to the ceiling in the center of the party room (or over the table). Use a light fixture over the table, if you have one, as the center point for the streamers.

To create colorful two-tone streamers, put two differently colored streamers back-to-back, twist as you walk them to the wall, and attach at shoulder height.

Smile for the Camera!
Be sure to take lots of pictures. You and your child will want to remember this special party. A helpful hint: Order extra prints and send them to the parents afterward. Remember, it's not necessary to have everyone in each picture. Focus on small groups and avoid posing all the photos. Candids capture the laughter best!
