Minnie Mouse Birthday Party — Create Minnie’s Bowtique

Fun Activities Inspired by "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" by Judi Barrett - Activity, Snack, and Printable

I thought last year might be our final year, but the kids pushed the theme this year, so we've been prepping as Princess Mononoke characters! Here's my process on how we plan and put together our costumes! Step 1: Theme My kids make suggestions the whole year, but we start seriously thinking about the theme in August. What shows are your kids into? Who are their favorite characters? Do you have a childhood movie you want to share with your kids? Come up with a few ideas and see which one gets most of the family members excited! It's more fun when more people are involved! Step 2: Gameplan Sketch Here's where we start planning what each costume needs! Write down each person's character, and do a quick sketch on what pieces create th...
