Birthdays are a cause for celebration, and what better way to make your little monster’s day roar than with a Monster Inc. themed party? It’s a guaranteed scream (in the best way possible) for any child who loves the hilarious world of Sulley, Mike, and the gang.
But planning a party can feel like a climb up Mount Scream. Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered! This guide will take you through everything you need to make your child’s Monster Inc. birthday a fearsomely fun celebration.
Setting the Scene
First things first, decorations! Transform your space into Monstropolis with vibrant colors and iconic characters. Hang streamers in shades of green, purple, and blue. Craft paper silhouettes of Sulley, Mike, and Boo will add a monstrous touch (bonus points for making them glow-in-the-dark!).
Don’t forget the iconic “We Scare Because We Care” doors – use cardboard or a large sheet to create your own doorway to the monster world.
A Monstrously Delicious Feast
No party is complete without yummy treats! Get creative with your food by giving it monster-rific names. Here are some ideas to get your scare on in the kitchen:
- Sulley’s Scrumptious Sandwiches: Cut sandwiches into fun shapes using cookie cutters.
- Mike’s Eyeball Meatballs: Make mini meatballs with a single olive in the center for an “eye.”
- Boo’s Boo-tiful Berry Cups: Fill small cups with yogurt, granola, and fresh berries.
- Canister Cannoli: Decorate cannoli with green and blue frosting to resemble canisters.
- Scream Smoothie: Blend your favorite fruits (think berries and bananas) for a refreshing and colorful drink.
Games Galore
Games are what make a party truly unforgettable. Here are some Monster Inc. inspired activities to keep your little monsters entertained:
- Canister Toss: Set up empty canisters (decorated like the ones from the movie) and have the kids toss beanbags or crumpled paper balls in.
- Pin the Tail on Sulley: This classic party game gets a monstrous makeover. Draw a large picture of Sulley without his tail, and provide fabric tails for the kids to pin on blindfolded.
- Boo’s Hide-and-Seek: Hide small stuffed animals (or Boo plushies!) around the house and let the kids loose to find them.
- Monster Dance Party: Blast the Monster Inc. soundtrack and let the kids move and groove like their favorite monsters!
The Grand Finale
No birthday celebration is complete without a cake (or cupcakes!). Decorate your treats with Monster Inc. toppers or fondant figures. Light the candles and sing a monstrously happy birthday song!
