Goodnight Moon Birthday Party Theme IdeasBirthday party theme ideas using the favorite children's book "Goodnight Moon" by Margaret Wise Brown.
Goodnight Moon party decorations Use the colors in the book - green, red, blue and yellow. Hang red balloons around the room and place several red helium balloons on the mailbox. For the party table - a solid color table cloth in green, red, blue or yellow or make it look like the night sky by using a dark blue table cloth with silver or white polka dots for stars. Make and hang cardboard stars around the party room. Enlarge the paintings in the book and make them paintings in the party room. Frame with cardboard. Hang one on the front door to welcome guests. Places vases of flowers in the goodnight moon colors on each table with a hidden mouse in each one. Blue and white striped table cloths are also a cute idea. Goodnight Moon birthday party activities Mouse treasure hunt - the mouse can be found on every page of the Goodnight Moon book, but you have to look for it! Set up a simple treasure hunt by hiding Easter Eggs or a similar object around the party area, backyard or park. In one of the eggs hide a small stuffed mouse. The child who finds the mouse wins a small prize. Hide the mouse in a different egg and then hide all the eggs again - children love this game. You can also decorate the eggs to look like mice by drawing on ears, eyes and some whiskers on one end of the egg and a long tail on the others side with permanent marker. Variation: Buy a stuffed mouse and hide it for the children to find. Decorate cookies - Make sugar cookies in the shapes of stars, cows, bunnies or houses and let the children decorate them with frosting and different toppings. Goodnight Moon party games Goodnight relay - be the fastest team to say goodnight to a line of objects. Before the party collect 2 of each of these objects: stuffed kitten, pair of mittens, cow, little toy house, mouse, 3 bears (or a picture of them), comb, brush. Line the objects in a long row. Divide children into 2 teams and have them stand in back of one another. One by one they must go down the line and say "Goodnight" to each one of the objects. When they are done they must run back to the front of their line and tag the next person to go. Give each team a prize. Pin the Moon on the Sky - played like Pin the Tail on the Donkey. On a large blue poster board draw or paste stars all over it and draw an outline of a moon. Make bright yellow moons that match the outline on the poster. Place double stick tape to each moon and write the children's names on each moon. Hang the poster on a wall. Line the children up and blindfold the first child. Turn them around 3 times and have them try to stick their moon closest to the outlined moon on the poster. Variation: Instead of Pin the Moon on the Sky make it Pin the Tail on the Bunny (use pom pom's or cotton balls), Pin the Cow over the Moon, etc. More fun party games for children ages 2, 3 and 4 Goodnight Moon party food ideas Serve cake and ice cream in bowls and call it a "bowl full of mush". Goodnight Moon party favor ideas Stuffed Mouse Copy of the Goodnight Moon book Pair of mittens Small toy house Comb and a brush Stuffed Bunny Goodnight Moon Goody / Loot bag ideas Wrap party favors up in a blue and white striped bandana and tie with twine or ribbon. Small wicker basket lined with a blue/white polka dotted bandana or star fabric. Dark blue bags with star stickers on the outside. I read this book to all 4 of my children when
they were little - it was one of their favorite bedtime stories.
While researching I found a little trivia about Goodnight Moon on
Wikipedia - some of these things I knew and some I had never noticed in
all the times reading the book. Enjoy!
