Chip, Chip, Cheerio!
July 26, 2008
I bet if you have a child who is around the age of one ~ that he or she loves Cheerios. It’s a favorite, healthy snack for this age, heck I still snack on it! It’s also a clever and inexpensive theme for a kid’s party. Buy brightly colored card stock in your favorite colors, and cut them into Cheerio shapes, make sure to make a hole in the center. Hot glue real Cheerios around the outline of your Cheerio invitation. Write, “Cheerio and Hip, Hip Hooray!” Place all of the party details on the paper Cheerio.
Decorate your home with balloons, streamers and table ware in your favorite colors. Cut out paper Cheerios and place them all over the party room walls. Sprinkle Cheerios across the party table for confetti.
Of course, the most important part of the first birthday party is the cake. Make a round cake, cut out the center, frost, and decorate with your Cheerios!
A great favor would be a sippy cup with the kids’ names written on each one and filled with Cheerios!
If you have older kids attending, plan a few simple activities:
- Make a necklace or a bracelet out of Cheerios.
- Make a piece of art by gluing Cheerios onto construction paper making different pictures.
- Play Hot Cheerio, like Hot Potato. Fill a clear cup with Cheerios and have the kids pass it.
- Play Musical Cheerios, like Musical Chairs. Cut out large Cheerios and place on the floor. The kids hop on the Cheerios while the music plays.
- Hide small boxes of Cheerios and have the kids go on a Treasure Hunt to find them.
This is an easy, budget-friendly party plan for your one-year-old that will take little time to plan, and will be loads of fun for your little one. Certainly, one-year-old kids will understand their favorite treat and will love to see Cheerios everywhere to celebrate. Cheers Cheerio!
