“PANCAKES, PAJAMAS AND PLAID” KID’S CHRISTMAS PARTY WITH ORIENTAL TRADING -PART 2

Hi Friends! Thank you so much for all of your kind words and messages about Part 1 of our “Pancakes, Pajamas and Plaid” Kid’s Christmas Party with Oriental Trading. Today, I’m so thrilled to share Part 2 with you all. Aside from decorating pancakes, enjoying jumbo dipped marshmallows, and drinking way too much hot cocoa we also played fun Reindeer Games, did some crafting, and had a blast with our little buffalo plaid photo booth!

A huge thank you to Oriental Trading Company for sponsoring this post. Although I was given resources to create this party, all of my opinions and feelings about (how fun and creative) their products are 100% my own. For more information, see my disclosures, here.

Reindeer Games: Reindeer Racing

In planning the activities and games that the kids could play at the party, Oriental Trading had so many great options. From the beginning, I had the idea of all of the kids playing “Reindeer Games” so as soon as I spotted these Reindeer Dashing Pull-back Racers I was so excited! I built a six-lane track using duct tape and strips of foam core for our first “Reindeer Game,” Reindeer Racing! The kids had a blast with this game. It was so easy for the younger children too. They just pulled back their little racers and let go… and the reindeer zoomed down the track! This was such a hit!

To cheer on their friends when it wasn’t their turn to race, I gave all of the other children these Reindeer Hoove Hand Clappers. Everyone was clapping their hooves and cheering the reindeer on!

Reindeer Games: Antler Ring Toss

The next game in our Reindeer Games was Antler Ring Toss. I was the resident reindeer as the kids tossed their rings. This was a fun one too…and the kids thought it was hilarious to see me in the giant inflatable reindeer antlers.

Reindeer Games: Antler Headband Craft

As we were channeling our inner reindeer, we all needed to look the part, so the next activity of Reindeer Games was our Antler Headband Craft. So adorable!!

Reindeer Games: Reindeer Trophies

To celebrate everyone doing an awesome job and competing in the Reindeer Games, each little party goer earned an “official” Reindeer Games 2017 trophy as a sign of their great achievement.

Last stop: Photo Booth Fun

The party could never be over without some photo booth fun! As you can see from the photos below, these photo booth props were another fan favorite and the perfect finale to the festive morning.
