From the foam plastic decorations can be made: 1 ball – the head, 2 smaller balls – mouse ears. In the decorations can be inserted toothpicks with pieces of fruit, berries or marmalade.

Mouse-themed desserts are decorated with confectionery sprinkles or cocoa. There is no specific menu, but since it is a children’s holiday, the main emphasis is on sweets and birthday cake. There can be any dishes that the birthday child prefers. A kind of highlight of the table will be a cheese plate with mice sitting around it. Drinks can also be any: juices, lemonade, milkshakes, do not forget about the usual water.

Contests and entertainments

It is not difficult to choose a scenario for an entertaining game program for a children’s celebration.

• Mickey Bowling. For this game, you need to prepare a ball with a photo of the main cartoon character and pins. Children take turns knocking down skittles to upbeat music.
• Who is fastest? The game is modeled on the “funny chairs” contest. Mickey Mouse pictures are printed out (one less than the number of kids participating in the contest) and laid out in a circle. Guests run around the pictures while the music plays. As soon as it turns off, everyone must take their place on the picture. Each eliminated participant takes one Mickey with them.
• Bones for Pluto the dog. According to the scenario, Pluto has stashed his favorite sugar bones, but has forgotten where. The kids are divided into two teams and help the hero to find them. For the competition, you need to prepare in advance the clues in the form of traces and various riddles and puzzles that will eventually lead to the “treasure.
• Mickey, Mickey, Goofy or Minnie, Minnie, Daisy. Play by the rules of the “duck, duck, goose” contest. Children sit in a circle, one child starts the game. He will walk around the others and touch everyone, saying, “Mickey, Mickey, Mickey…”. When the leader touches one guest and says, “Goofy,” that guest must get up and catch up with him. If Mickey sits in Goofy’s place first, Goofy becomes the next waterman. If Goofy catches Mickey, he sits back down and the game continues. Adults need to make sure that the kids are constantly changing, otherwise the game can get boring.
• Do not wake up Willie the Giant. One of the parents should be a giant for the game. He lies on the floor and pretend to sleep. Around him put toys as close as possible to his arms and legs. And the kids are trying to quietly, without waking up the giant, pull away toys. If Willie wakes up and catches someone, that participant drops out of the contest. The youngest guests can stay in the game even after they’ve been caught, and don’t forget the consolation sweet prizes.
• Woof like Pluto. This is a noisy and fun contest. The barking can be anything: angry and frightening, funny and funny, realistic, quiet or loud. Nominations should be distributed so that every guest gets a prize.
• Piñata. It’s worth saving for last. A piñata shaped like Mickey or Minnie should be filled with candy and confetti, and blindfolded children will try to hit it with a bat. Since the guests are gathered for a birthday party, let the birthday boy start first.

Between contests and games, you need to give the kids a break, a “Mickey Mouse Club” cartoon video will entertain the little ones. And with the music, they can sing or dance along with their parents.
