Oreo Birthday Party

It was Nadine’s birthday, and we were ready to make it the event of the year! If you are new to Parenting, you might not have realized that Children’s Parties are really BIG events, and they can be really expensive too!

However, we are always thinking of creative ways to throw a really fun party, and our latest idea is having involving food. If you have not caught on…do keep on reading…

Yes! As all kids love OREOs, we had our very first theme party of 2012, built around OREOs.

Needless to say, we did not have to do much to get some really enthusiastic fans!

Well, if you have not been to an OREO party, to tell you the truth…neither have I! But I guess that’s the fun part of party planning…Brainstorming and coming up with our own Games!

Initially, we wanted to build a bath-tub full of OREOs and get Daddy to come dressed in an OREO Mascot costume…create our own OREO MAN (instead of Superman)

However due to budget constraints…we just had an OREO Tele-match and other  Simple Party games.  Frankly, after doing so many parties, kids are the easiest people ever, and as long as the games are fun, they don’t really need the fanfare! (We instructed the kids to come in OREO colours too! Blue, Black or White!)

In fact, the games were not very complicated. When the music plays, run around the room and shout “Oreo…Oreo…Oreo” (You get the hint right), and once when the music stops,  stand on the alphabet indicated by the game-master. There were only 4 letters to stand on, and they were of course the letters needed to form our favourite snack O-R-E-O .

And guess what? After running around for 5 times or more, I was out of breath! Haha… age catches up!

I have not led Party Games for kids for a very long time, but their energy was contagious. Next, we had an OREO tele-match where the kids had to go from Point A to B balancing an Oreo pack on each palm. Thereafter, we did “Passing the Parcel. The kids loved it!

And to end off the party, we proceeded to the classroom for our cake cutting session.

This lovely Barbie Agar-Agar definitely added to the Party Effect, and at $45, was definitely a great alternative to a normal Party Cake. Nadine is into Barbie at the moment, and that’s why we got her this blonde sweetheart for her Birthday.

The rest of the kids were also wondering, how were they going to eat their blonde friend later!

Here’s a family photo with Nadine before we go! Happy Birthday Nadine! Daddy and Mummy had great fun making your day Super Special! We are believing for you to grow into a beautiful confident women when you grow – And one day when you are old enough to read this post! We want you to know that WE LOVE YOU!
