We have decided (ds 1 and 2) to have either a thomas the tank or Elmo theme for coopers !st Birthday, am after some ideas to tie in with either of these themes, we cant find elmo invites but I have found some printable Thomas ones on the net, we have a huge big thomas house that the 6 little ones can sit in with able and chairs. though we have heaps of red streamers and balloons we can use if we choose Elmo, we are after games, food ect that could tie in any ideas welcome please
My gf had an elmo party for their DD's first birthday and it was awesome. She created a Sesame Street Sign (using wrapping rolls painting the same colours and cardboard for the sign) and instead of it saying Sesame Street it said her DD's name on one side and ABC 123 on the other. It looked great. We made an elmo pinata with a balloon crepe paper cut up and an orange large pom pom nose. We even made elmo hats with red party hats orange pom pom's and googly eyes. They all looked great! For lolly bags you can get grey plastic cups and draw lines on them to look like Oscar's trash can. Games are (from a few sites I looked at) "Find elmo's blocks" Hide some alphabet blocks around the play room and let the kids find them. Get a box and paint a fish bowl on it, give the kids an orange Jelly bean each and have them stand however far away from the box (mark an x with tape on the floor) and see if they can get Dorothy back into her home! Instead of "Simon says" play Elmo says :)
I know that you can get cake toppers - i think they are for cupcakes - which have Thomas & Friends on them. Have seem them in Woolies in the packet cake section and also on ebay.
