dowels.

GAMES & ACTIVITIES
Being as this party is very sweetie based I suggest prizes for games are non candy
Bubble Gum Blowing Contest
Photo Opportunity
Give everyone a sour bubble gum to compete.
or
blow up a pink balloon if the children are too younger for bubble gum
Gobstopper Hunt
Hide wrapped jawbreakers all over the party area and give each child a sweetie bag to fill.
Announce that Mr. Slugworth has hidden all the Everlasting Gobstoppers
and that it's up to the kids to find them.
Whoever finds the most, wins.
Golden Egg-on-the-Spoon Relay
This is when all those cheap plastic eggs from Easter come in.
glue the two parts of the egg together and spray paint gold.
Divide the kids into two teams.
Give the first player on each team a spoon and an egg
and have them walk as quickly as possible to another side area,
around the chair and back to the starting line, balancing the eggs on the spoons.
If players drop an egg, they have to start over. The team to finish first, wins!
Golden Egg Game
Inflate golden balloons and pop in some candy
each child has to sit on their egg to pop it and get the candy.
Dress Grandpa Joe
Parent participation required

Parents race to each pile of
clothes and the kids dress them, then race to the front door.

large brown long-sleeve shirts,
white shorts with braces

the first players put on the clothes as fast as possible,
