 Throw a Teddy Party!
Teddy knows how to have a good time, even if it lands him in trouble!
Below are a few fun ideas for a teddy-themed party.

Teddy Mayhem!
Have your guests bring their favorite stuffed animals and engage
in some of the activities that take place in the book. Place
rolls of paper on the walls and have the guests and their stuffed
animals create artwork, or bring out some clothes so the animals
can make costumes.

Decorating Extravaganza!
Everyone knows a good party needs some great snacks! Grab some
fun toppings, like sprinkles, whipped cream, frosting, and chocolate
sauce, and have your guests decorate pancakes or cookies for a sweet
treat. If you want to have Teddys favorite, youll need chocolate-chip-
and-blueberry pancakes with rainbow sprinkles, cherries, and whipped
cream!

Dance-a-Thon!
Turn up the tunes and let your guests dance to their
favorite songs with their stuffed animals. Just make
sure the music isnt too loud, or the neighbors might
call the police on Teddy . . . again!

Bubble-Rama!
Teddy and his friends love bubblesthey used bubble bath to
hold a sliding contest during their party! Let your guests swim
in bubbles of their own by giving out small bottles of bubbles
and having the kids blow bubbles in the party space. Combine
with the dance-a-thon to have a real bubbly time!
