Fishing for ideas for a toddler birthday party idea? The Pepperidge Farm's Goldfish

It brings new meaning to the phrase "Life in a goldfish bowl," doesn't it?
Don't be "Koi"! If the Goldfish cracker is a staple at your house, then you've got every
reason to fall for this idea, hook, line and sinker. Easy and fun, you'll fill this party with
bright hues of orange, accents of red and yellow, and bowls of the famous little
cracker. Here's how to have a simple and cute Goldfish party that will surely be
remembered for years to come:
- Bowl them over. Since you'll be serving plenty of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish
crackers to toddlers, you'll want a kid friendly bowl. Try a plastic fish bowl,
pictured left. Local pet shops, rarely stock them, so shop online now.
- Dress up in orange. Select a simple orange T-shirt for the birthday child. If you're
industrious look to Martha Stewart for help creating a Goldfish costume on your
own. Or shop online, top right, for the baby bunting.
- Bag the fun. While toddlers are likely too young for Swedish Fish, you can make
the Goldfish gelatin dessert bags, as an edible treat to take home. Sweet and
effective, this idea from Family Fun will surely get some smiles.
- Go fishing! You'll need to fish online for a few goldfish props and party favors to
pull off the perfect Goldfish party. Fish around Amazon for the sweet goldfish
cracker boxes.
More ways to set the scene for a Goldfish Party
- Orange you glad? Orange is a bright and happy option for birthday colors and
pairs beautifully with baby blue. For the tables, lay blue crepe paper or plastic
tablecloth, then layer it with orange tulle. Right, the floating goldfish candles,
will help accent the tables.
- Something's fishy with these plates. You'll be hard pressed to find goldfish party
plates, so you'll need to make your own. Just cut a wedge like a piece of pizza
from an ordinary orange paper plate. The wedge you remove will be the fish tail
(tape it on the opposite end), and the piece exposed will be an open mouth.
Add candy eyes glued with icing gel. Use the plates as chargers for cupcakes or
as decoration. To toddler proof your plate for cake service, use black and white
icing gel instead of candy eyes, which may pose choking hazard.

Goldfish party food
The catch of the day is Goldfish crackers, of course. Here are more ways to have fun
with your selectin goldfish-themed party foods:
- Catch a glimpse of the Goldfish checkerboard sandwich.Essentially, the Goldfish
Checkerboard sandwich is a mix of whole wheat and white bread with peanut
butter and jelly. Bite-sized for toddlers, this easy and toddler pleasing sandwich
comes from Pepperidge Farm.
Sweet inspiration:
Goldfish crackers are swimming in salt, so you'll need some sweets for the party.
- Orange sodas are not appropriate for toddlers, but you can certainly serve
them to the adults. Try Vitamin Water instead.
- Orange creamsicles, also known as 50-50 bars, would blend well with the
orange theme.
- Goldfish bowl cookies.
- Gold fish bowl cakes: Woman's Day Goldfish Bowl cake starts with two ordinary 8-
inch round cake pans turned on the side and accented with non other than the
famous orange crackers.
Favorable and Unfavorable Favors for a Goldfish Party:
- The unfavorable goldfish favor. You may be tempted to buy live goldfish as favors
for each child attending the party. Miss Manners would probably frown on
dumping such responsibility on an unsuspecting party goer. Parents may
unwillingly accept responsibility for the little creature. Ask your friends and
family in advance and if you're set on providing a new pet as a favor, then be
sure to include the aquarium, greenery, and fish food, instead of merely a zip-
lock bag. You might also provide instructions for proper care, changing water
and proper oxygenation, or your favor will go belly up in a few short days.
