Madagascar Party Supplies
Madagascar is a popular party theme for both boys and girls! Children love the film’s characters, and planning a Madagascar party for the children should make them very happy indeed. There are plenty of ways to get great ideas for the party, as well as lots of trademarked Madagascar party supplies: as well as a movie to keep the kids occupied before food is served. If there are a lot of guests, parents might consider taking them to the zoo before bringing them into the party area – give them an opportunity to see first-hand the animals they admire – although it will take a very patient parent to be prepared to do something like that without the assistance of a lot of other adults!
Planning a Madagascar party shouldn’t be too difficult for the imaginative parent. They might want to watch the movie again to remind them of the details of place and characters – or if their child watches it constantly, they may already have all they need burned into their memory. Whatever it takes to make the child happy, planning a Madagascar party should focus on the jungle, zoo animals, and exotic foods (sometimes children won’t like the latter, so consider whether to just serve everyday food with exotic names such as ‘lion steaks’, and so on.
The first thing that any parent needs to get organised is the invitations. If they are feeling artistic, adults might want to draw the different characters on each invitation – using stencils of lions and zebras for instance - or they can simply buy Madagascar invitation packs and add the details on as appropriate.
Once the party is confirmed, it is time to load up on Madagascar party supplies. There are a range of trademarked Madagascar decorations which can be bought, including Madagascar “Happy birthday” banners, and “Danglers” – which are pictures attached to long strings which hang from the ceiling. If the parent wants to make the party room more like a jungle, why not add green and brown streamers to the ceiling, and let the children find their way to the table like explorers? Adults may also like to cover stools and coffee tables with animal print fabrics, to give the impression of animals hiding in the jungle. The jungle could also contain a couple of Madagascar piñatas, which can be filled with Madagascar themed toys or candies.
There are a number of games which can be played at a jungle theme party – “Barrel of Monkeys”, for example, or the Animal Paddle game; pin the tail on the donkey can be adapted to make a zebra; there can be other games of a similar nature; parents might want to buy the Madagascar animal puppet range, and hold a puppet theatre, or they may stick with the traditional games and leave the Madagascar party supplies list for decorations and party favours.
As noted above, Madagascar is a Disney movie, and so one option for keeping the children amused before the food arrives is to let them watch one of the films in the series. Parents who are holding a long party might want to buy the full Gift set collection, which should keep the children amused for some time. These video/DVDs are widely available, so they shouldn’t cut too deeply into the budget for Madagascar party supplies, and they can also give the adults some much needed relief! The host of the party might want to decorate the TV with the jungle theme, and have a large mat spread out for the children to sit and watch the movie in comfort.
Mealtime continues the theme, with several items of tableware included as part of the trademarked Madagascar party supplies range. There are two different sizes of plates, as well as cups, napkins, a Madagascar table cover, and a centrepiece. There are also some rather charming paper cupcake holders among the Madagascar party supplies options, and children might like to have one of those (and a cupcake) when they arrive for the party. The price can be slightly lessened by serving the food and drink on ordinary tableware, or by purchasing the Madagascar set as part of a discount package – this should cheapen the cost although parents may need to buy extra items if there are large numbers of children.
All of this tableware can only go towards one purpose, and that is to provide jungle treats and finger food for the kids. Some ideas might be to make sandwiches in the shape of jungle animals, exotic fruit, ‘trail mix’, and of course animal biscuits. Once these are served and eaten, the only thing left to do is to bring on the birthday cake! Parents can choose to buy a Madagascar cake from their local store, or make their own cake, and top it with a Madagascar decoration or edible picture; less ambitions parents might make cupcakes with Madagascar pictures for cakes known as “Ring toppers”; the children should enjoy eating these as they watch the movie!
All good things come to an end, and the parent’s Madagascar party supplies list should include loot bags and leaving gifts. There are a number of themed items, including the finger puppets mentioned earlier, Madagascar straws, stickers and hats; generous parents might consider buying small stuffed jungle animals, or other jungle-themed gifts – pens, erasers or rulers shouldn’t cost too much to buy. There are sets of Madagascar vending machine toys and also plush toys that don’t cost too much and which will probably be eagerly accepted as gifts.
Parents organising a Madagascar party have a lot of choice in the type of party they throw – it can either be a simple TV-and-birthday-cake affair or a complicated trip to the zoo with a jungle theme in the party area afterwards. Whichever kind of Madagascar party the host chooses to throw, there is a wide range of Madagascar party supplies to pick between, and they can also use their own inventiveness to create the feeling of a jungle in their own living room.
