Barney's Candy Land Party

Both of my daughter's birthdays are in June so I'm having to plan both of these parties simultaneously!!

I originally wanted to do just a Barney party for her, but then quickly realized there just wasn't that many Barney things. So I combined two of her favorite things, Barney and Candy and created Barney's Candy Land.

In my backyard, I'm going to create a life size version of the Candy Land board game and have many stops along the way, the traditional stops that are in the game, as well as Barney stops that correlate to one of Jerrica's favorite Barney movies.

My goal is to have 8 Main Stops on the board game, 1. Jerrica's House, 2. Grandpa's Farm, 3. The Big World Adventure, 4. Imagination Island, 5. Musical Zoo, 6. ABC Land, 7. School Time, and finally the end will be Barney's House.

The obstacles will be the traditional, Peppermint Forrest, Gumdrop Mountains, Lord Licorice and his Licorice Forest, Peanut House and Gramma Nut, Lollipop Woods, Ice Cream Sea, Gloppy and the Chocolate Swamp, and the Gingerbread Tree

I'm pretty much going to make everything myself (with help).

Each of the stops will incluce a variety of singing, dancing, an activity, craft or game.

And I am going to have Barney, Baby Bop, and BJ there. I haven't decided if I'm going to have them be at the end of the game, (when they win) or if I should have them show up when they start and help them through the game, any ideas and suggestions would be wonderful!!!

I'll be posting pics, and more updates soon!

A Chunky Monkey Party

So I'm still in the early stages of planning her party, but here's a general of what i've got so far.

Theme: Chunky Monkey Safari
Invitations: a Passport

Going to have a Customs station, where they will get their passports stamped and they will receive fake money

Disguise station- where they can get their faces painted like different jungle animals
Med Table- where they can get their typhoid shot (fake toy shot) and take their malaria pill (red jellybean)

Then they will be able to buy their survival kit which will include their jungle safari guides (that i'll make), a safari visor, binoculars, and a bug juice

Then I'm gonna turn my backyard into a jungle with palm trees, vines, different animals, tropical flowers, and the majority of it I'm going to make myself.

And they will have six different sections that they will visit that will have an activity at, and those will be labeled in their safari guide books.

My goal is for them to actually go on a safari and see different animals, obviously stuffed not real. But I'm still mapping out my plan.

 Keep checking back because I will be posting step by steps on how I do everything, and how to do it yourself!  And feel free to leave any tips or suggestions, or ask any questions.
