Puppy Birthday Party
Toddlers love a puppy birthday party. You can base a puppy birthday party around your child’s favorite dog or the characters Clifford, Scooby Doo or 101 Dalmations. Hold your puppy party in the early afternoon when your toddler will be at their best. Many inexpensive decorations for your puppy party can be found at your local discount and dollar stores. Decorate a “dog house” from boxes or poster board and take pictures of each guest as a souvenir.

Moon Rock Relay: Before the party, cut or tear several pieces of foam padding (egg crate, mattress pad foam or craft foam). Divide the children into teams. Give each team a pile of “moon rocks” and a set of kitchen tongs. Pace a bucket for each team at the finish line. The object of the game is to be the first team to transport all of the moon rocks from the pile to the bucket using only the tongs (astronaut robot arm). The first racer will pick up a rock, run to the bucket return to his team and pass the tongs to the next player until all of the moon rocks have been moved.
Saturn’s Rings Toss: You will need a hula hoop and bean bags. Mark an “x” with tape on the ground or floor. Have 2 helpers hold the hula hoop a reasonable distance from the “x”. The players take turns trying to toss the bean bag planets through the ring.
Asteroid Belt: A great indoor game for younger children. Before the party inflate several balloons. When it is time to play have the children form a circle. Toss the asteroids (balloons) in the air and the children have to keep the asteroids from hitting the earth.
