Puppy pups parties are a wonderful way to entice the imagination of younger children.
They are forever fascinated with puppies and how different they are from humans.
Using this to your advantage, a parent could easily gauge a theme around the puppy styled behaviors that our children love to mimic.
To begin, include in the invitations a request that the children bring a picture of their favorite puppy.
This will provide them with a role model to portray, an easier way to slip into character.
When the guests first arrive, have them create a puppy tag for themselves and pin on their picture.
It is a good idea to have a few extras in case someone forgets their photo.
Another recommendation is to have the children remain on all fours.
This helps to create the atmosphere that they really are puppies.
Have games designed after the common actions of a puppy.
It is well known that they like dig and play fetch.
Some ideas for games and activities could include playing fetch with something like twizzlers or burying a bone in a large box of something easy to sift through, such as marshmallows.
One favorite game of most all children is hide-and-go-seek.
Hiding a larger bone (or even a stuffed animal such as Garfield) and having the children find it is usually pretty comical.
Food that might be of interest would be anything that you can shape into a bone or a cat.
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are usually pretty easy to create a cutout with.
When it comes time to eat cake, it is always fun to eat like a puppy, out of a bowl and on the floor.
With these games in place, it will be hard not to enjoy yourself as you watch the children frolic about like little pups.
With a little imagination and some great kids, everyone is bound to have a wonderful time at your puppy pup party.
