My son LOVES The Berenstain Bears. My mom saved all the books that belonged to my brother and I, then my cousin added some when her twins were young, so we have nearly ALL of them. (SIDE NOTE: We do not have many of the recent additions done my Mike Berenstain, which in my opinion are not as good as those by the creators Stan and Jan.)
When it came time to think about a birthday gift and party for my now three-year old son, I started to wonder if Berenstain Bears toys existed. And, the answer is...not really.
I did manage to find a set of Happy Meal toys from 1987 on ebay, which was exciting. I also decided that a Kenner Family Tree House from 1975 would work as the bears family home. I added a painted Scrabble board as the bears yard/garden. And, this combination of stuff became his "big" gift.
After I came up with this gift idea, I decided to make the whole party theme Berenstain Bears. But, it's not like looking for Elmo or Disney party decor.
I based the party color scheme around the character's clothes: Mama's blue and white polka dot dress; Sister's white and pink polka dot blouse; Brother's red and blue outfit; and Papa's yellow plaid shirt.
I also created a birthday pennant banner using an extra copy of "Messy Room", plus party hats and cupcakes toppers using images of the bears I found online. (Basic party hat template came from "Oh Happy Day".)
I also had a last minute game idea..."Pin the Bears on the Tree!" In the end, Henry was the only one who played it, but he sure enjoyed putting stickers on this blown up image of the bear family tree house.
I think he enjoyed the party and the decor. I know I had a good time creating it!

Great ideas! I'm going to do a BB party for my boys and it's definitely a challenge to come up with some ideas since there really isn't much out there. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGood one! I used to be a schoolteacher earlier and I loved celebrating birthdays with my students. The year I was about to leave the school, one of my students planned a party in one of the venues in Los Angeles and it was his birthday too. This post reminds me of that birthday because they had a similar kind of theme for us.
ReplyDeleteHi, where did you find the paper to make the party hats?
