Dalmatian Birthday Party

Party Hats

Dalmatian ears out of Felt

Cut one strip of white felt for each child 2 inch wide and 24 inch long for headbands.    With tracing paper make a pattern from thin poster board.  Cut 2 ears out of white felt for each child.  Fold a pleat in each ear and staple two to the inside of each headband.  The ears should drop over the top of the band.  Paint black spots on ears and headband.  Allow drying for 24 hours. Wrap the felt band around head and staple two ends together in the back.  Should be a 3 to 4 inch overlap.

Ears are 6 inches across and 7 inches long.  Pleats are 2 inches in from each side. 

Goody Bags

I ordered the Dalmatian assortment through the Oriental Trading Co.  I also made bone shaped colors from all of my broken crayons and a metal bone shaped cookie cutter.  The instructions from FamilyFun.com are below.  I used brown paper lunch bags with Dalmatian stickers all over them to put the goodies in.  

COOKIE CUTTER CRAYON: Form a mold by placing a few layers of aluminum foil under a cookie cutter, then wrapping the foil around the cutter's outside edges. Set the mold on a cookie sheet and fill halfway with unwrapped stubs. Bake in a 300-degree oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until just melted. Remove and cool. Serve with a large piece of paper.

Cake

I used the directions from FamilyFun.com.  You could serve the cake in new clean dog bowls.  I also make bone cookie to eat.

Activity

We watched 101 Dalmatians and colored some pictures from Disney.com.  That was all the activities since this was a party for 2-4 year olds.  You could play pin the bone on the dog.

Decorations

We decorated the party room in all black and white.  We had white balloons and drew black spots on them with magic marker.  We had black and white streamers and a white table cloth.  If it is a nice day, you can take chalk and draw paw print leading up to the house.  You can order plates, cups, napkins, tablecloth, etc through birthdayexpress.com.
