More ways to set the Scene for a Teddy Bear Party

  • Gather the teddies. Reserve the largest of your plush teddy bears for the
    entrance of the party. This bear can wear a cone hat and hold balloons and
    hold a birthday sign. Cluster other teddy bears in various picnic settings with
    tiny tea party pieces. Use cloth napkins for your tiny teddy bears' blanket.

  • Set out teddy bear place cards and adoption papers. Create a place setting for
    each child with a mini plush teddy bear favor and tape it, so the bear is holding
    a sign with the child's name. Provide teddy bear adoption papers, pictured
    right, for added fun.

  • Make a teddy bear chain gang: Craft paper doll chains but use a teddy pattern
    and brown craft paper.

How to have a beary-nice tea party or bears picnic birthday party

A first birthday is an unbearably cute theme party, especially if you have a little
"Goldilocks" on your hand. Teddy Bear Birthdays are idea for first birthdays. And your
little toddler honey bear will surely enjoy a Teddy Bear party, though most of your
party planning will be for the benefit of adults than for kids.

A Teddy Bear party that inlcudes a trip to the
Build-A-Bear workshop is ideal for girls in
the 4-10 range. Whether you're planning Build-a-Bear workshop party, a Teddy Bear's
picnic, or Teddy Bear Tea party, or a combination of all, here's how to show your little
bear you care with a Teddy Bear party:

  • Bear Essentials: Miss manners would probably frown at requesting party goers
    to bring something to a birthday party, but there's bear-ly a kid out there who
    doesn't have a teddy bear. So feel free to ask your friends and family to supply
    some of the decorations by bringing their favorite teddy. When the bear guests
    arrive, make them feel instantly welcome by providing the bear with some bear
    sized accessories (a party hat, a string of beads, or a little bow-tie).

  • Grin and bear it! Modify a headband Mickey Mouse style to fashion teddy bear
    ears for the kids to wear. You can also transform toddlers with Teddy Bear Face
    painting, which you can do yourself with just few brush strokes, including rosy
    cheeks, and a painted snout. Get a lesson in teddy bear face painting.

  • Red gingham is a "bear" necessity. A teddy bear's picnic deserves the classic
    white checked paper plates or tablecloth. You'll find a variety of red gingham
    plates and napkins available at your local party supply and online. Pair them
    with pretty doilies, gummy bears, and mini parasols.

  • Paws for celebration. Cut out paws for your party from construction paper (or
    draw paws with chalk to lead) the entrance. Kids will enjoy clawing their way
    through the party.

  • Have some storybook fun. Place three chairs near the entrance with signs. One
    that reads: "Too Hard," the other that reads "Too soft" and the last to read
    "Just Right."

Bear Themed Cookies, Cakes and Treats
Give dimension to home made teddy bear cookies, candies and cakes with some or
all of these details:
  • Teddy Bear's tummy and snout: Pipe an outline, cut an imprint, roll
    fondant or use a contrasting color of frosting for the tummy, such as a
    lighter shade of brown or white. Use the same color for the snout.
  • Teddy Bear's ears and paws: use the same shade of pink or white for the
    ears and paws.
  • Teddy Bear's bow tie: Pipe frosting for the bow tie or cut a bow tie from
    candy, such as a Licorice Allsorts layer, or a sugar gum drop or fruit roll-
    up that you've rolled with a rolling pin.
  • Teddy Bear's nose and eyes: eyes can be simple dots or layered with
    white then black.
