Top Tips for an Over the Hedge Extravaganza!
With your free banner in hand, it’s time to turn your attention to party planning. Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing:
- Decorations Gone Wild: Don’t just stop at the banner! Create a backyard hedge maze (using cardboard boxes or sheets) or set up a “Verne’s Veggie Garden” snack station. Scatter some plastic hedgehogs and acorns around the party space for an extra touch of whimsy.
- Food Fit for a Raccoon: Get creative with the food! Make “RJ’s Raccoon Chili” (vegetarian option available!), serve up “Penny’s Pretzel Perfection,” or whip up some “Stella’s Scrumptious S’mores” for dessert. Don’t forget to have plenty of fresh fruits and veggies on hand – the gang loves a healthy snack!
- Games Galore: Keep the little hedgehogs (and humans!) entertained with some fun party games. Organize a “Nature Scavenger Hunt” for backyard treasures, play a game of “Pin the Tail on RJ,” or have a “Verne’s Veggie Relay Race.”
- Hedgehog Hide-and-Seek: This classic game gets an Over the Hedge twist! Hide plastic hedgehogs around the party space and have the kids search for them. The one who finds the most wins a prize (maybe a handful of gummy worms?).
- Dress Up for the Hedge: Encourage guests to come dressed as their favorite Over the Hedge character! Think raccoon masks, turtle shells, and maybe even a grumpy possum costume (don’t worry, we know Stella secretly loves a good party!).
Don’t Forget the Favors!
Send your little guests home with a reminder of the wild fun they had. Fill goodie bags with gummy worms (RJ’s favorite!), small packets of seeds for them to plant their own gardens, or even glow sticks for an extra touch of nighttime fun.
With a little planning, some creativity, and our free downloadable Over the Hedge birthday banner, you’re all set to throw a party that’s sure to leave your guests feeling wilder than a pack of raccoons on garbage night! So, crank up the tunes, break out the party games, and get ready to celebrate!
