Backyardigans party activities

Create a Backyardigans hop scotch board! You can find all you need on Nick Jr.'s Backyardigans website.

The Backyardigans are all about dancing and singing, so take out the CD player and put on their favorite Backyardigans music. Have them create their own musical instruments out of paper plates (tambourines) or paper towel rolls (drumsticks) and let them really boogie!

Make a dress up area that has a little bit of dress up gear from a popular episode. Watch as the children's imaginations take over and they begin to act out the episode the way they remember them!

Have a coloring station. Coloring books and print outs from Nick Jr.com with lots of crayons are bound to help keep little hands and minds busy.

Backyardigans party foods & favors

The Backyardigans always ends with snack time. Time your party around the mid afternoon so so snack time will be appropriate. Serve pigs in a blanket, a veggie tray, chips, a fruit tray, cheese and crackers, and some pink lemonade or juice boxes. Cupcakes are great too if you decorate each one as a different Backyardigan.

The music instruments that the children create makes for a great party favor. Some parents of preschool age children might not want them to have too much sugar so put stickers, crayons, and bubbles in the goodie bag. Maybe a few coloring pages stapled together with a cover page that says, "Thank you for coming to my party!" to go with the crayons ...and your Backyardigans adventure will be complete!
