- Orange you glad you chose this party idea? 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. More ideas:
- Goldfish paper lanterns: Tranform orange paper lanterns into goldfish with
orange construction paper and wiggle eyes. See bottom of the page.
- Goldfish party favors. 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.

Your friends will think you've gone crackers, but you'll surely have fun planning a little
Goldfish party for your toddler.
- 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, right.
- 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.

- Party in a fishbowl. 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.

is as easy as melting chocolate. Get the goldfish marshmallow pop tutorial from
- 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.

- Orange creamsicles, also known as 50-50 bars, would blend well with the
orange theme.

bowl cookie cutters, immediate left.
