Games

Easel for Party Games

party game
Finding appropriate toddler party games can be tricky when trying to coordinate the theme, adjust for ages and accomodate for girls and boys.

Here are a couple ideas that worked well for a group of children ranging in ages from 18 months to four years of age and you can adapt it to your party them by simply changing the picture or changing the main prop.

Pin the Badge on Diego

An old favorite take off of Pin the Tail on the Donkey birthday party game. WE found a picture of Diego. You can find various themes at Party Stores or even order online. Find a simple pinata blindfold or a big hat that will cover a child's eyes easily rather than tying something around their head. The yongest toddler can just put their sticker on...that can be a challenge in itself.

Go Fish

Another favorite from parties and school fairs. Go Fish! You can adjust little prizes to the age or the person and everyone is a winner!

We covered the easel with a sheet and pinned a hand drawn picture my husband made of Dora on the easel and let children fish. Find a "fishing pole", attach a clothespin and you are set to go. We had a cat fishing toy that we borrowed the pole from. It wasn't very long and it was made of flexible plastic. I decorated the clothespin with some rhinestone and a picture of Dora.

Adapt the main picture to the theme of your party or if you are real creative, construct a well out of card board if you don't have an easel.
