Perfect invitations to a Wiggles party are CDs of Greg, Murray, Jeff, and Anthony singing, slid into an inexpensive, plain white cardboard (or a homemade cardboard sleeve constructed from posterboard and glue) with all the relevant information written inside. These sing along invitations would be good, because from the time the child receives the invitation until the time of the party, they can be learning the songs, so they can sing along!
Decorate in the same simple red, blue, purple, and yellow found in the Wiggles home. This will prove to be inexpensive as well, because rather than buying expensive printed theme products, you can buy simple, inexpensive products in the Wiggles colors.
A neat idea for easy party food you can prepare ahead of time is to purchase colorful cardboard containers like the ones found in Chinese restaurants. Each container is big enough to hold an Anthony sandwich, chips, and a drink box.
A great cake idea is a three-dimensional Henry the Octopus cake. The cake, surrounded by a sea of cupcakes in red, blue, purple, and yellow, connected to Henry’s body by sour straws, will be an exciting Wiggles centerpiece for the food table.
Should you decide not to go for the drink boxes, or if you think the children need extra drinks, a neat idea is this recipe for rainbow punch in Wiggles colors:
Rainbow
Punch
Use ice cube
trays to freeze
red, blue,
purple, and
yellow ice cubes
made from
powdered soft
drink mix, or
apple juice with
a few drops of
food coloring.
To serve, use
clear plastic
cups, add a cube
of each color,
and fill with
clear soda.
When the
Party Begins
When the guests
arrive, give
each one a
colored shirt
and/or cap, so
they can be
their favorite
"Wiggle" -
purple, red,
yellow, or blue.
Painter caps can
be purchased at
hardware or
dollar stores
for around a
dollar, and a
little fabric
paint and a
shaped paint
sponge from your
craft store,
make it easy to
decorate the
caps before the
party.
Wiggles
Party Game Ideas
Since you
prepared the
kids by sending
them the Wiggles
CD invitation,
they will have a
fun time singing
and clapping
along to their
favorite Wiggles
songs in a
Wiggles
sing-along!
Wiggles
Pinata
Have the kids
take turns
trying to break
a Wags-the-Dog
Pinata, and
instead of
candy, you can
have stickers,
pens, washable
markers, printed
and copied
homemade
coloring pages,
etc.
Find
Feathersword's
Treasure
Before the party
hide gold
plastic coins
and toys for the
children to
find, making it
easier by having
an adult to tell
them if they are
“cold” or “hot.”
Jeff's
Sleepy Time Tag
Jeff’s sleepy
time tag is
played just like
freeze tag, but
instead of
freezing when
tagged, the
children will
fall "asleep"
until a friend
wakes them up!
Dance Time
Provide pieces
of colored
streamer or
ribbons to each
child. Put on a
Wiggles CD and
let the children
dance while they
sing along!
Story Time
End the party
with a story
time to settle
your guests down
before they go
home. Sometimes
the party boy or
girl feels a
little after
party let down,
so if you make
arrangements for
one special
friend to sleep
over after the
party, it can
make the
transition from
your Wiggles
party excitement
a little bit
more smooth.
