Dancer's Webkinz Birthday Party

We celebrated Dancer's 9th Birthday at the end of March. She loves Webkinz so we decided to do a simple Webkinz themed party. I got a few of the ideas from doing an internet search and others we made up on our own using ideas from the Webkinz online game. Here is a quick overview of our celebration...

During the arrival of all the guests the girls had a chance to make a beaded necklace for their Webkinz. Each girl used ABC beads to spell out their Webkinz' name.

After all the girls arrived and had a chance to make a necklace the build their own nachos for dinner with lots of different toppings.


Next they went outside to a yard full of different carnival games.

The carnival games that we played were...

Croquet ball smack, bowling, Newspaper delivery (from the website game), jump rope, hoop contest, ring toss, gem hunt, Webkinz twister race and ball throwing into the hoop. The kids earned tickets at each different station.

To play Webkinz Twister each Webkinz with their owner faced each other. They advanced based on what the spinner indicated. The first one to make it across the mat was the winner.

The gem hunt was just a bucket of plastic gems buried in play sand. The girls later used the gems to glue on to a crown for their Webkinz.

After the games were played and the tickets counted it was time to count tickets and get a chance to spin the wheel of WOW! Each girl spun a couple of times and received their prizes. I picked up the girls a wooden animal coloring piece and a yarn animal kit from Michaels for each of the girls to take home and make.

After the Wheel of Wow it was time for cake and ice cream. I picked up a dog bowls from the dollar store and filled it with vanilla ice cream, chocolate brownie pieces and hot fudge.

Next it was time for presents and a movie with plenty of popcorn. All in all it was a fun party. Dancer loved every minute of it.
