Little Einsteins Party Decorations

What better for a Little Einsteins Party than to combine fun decorations with learning! Here are a few ideas for doing just that:

• Hang a Little Einstein banner over the entry way into the party area that says, “Leo, June, Quincy, and Annie Welcome You to [Birthday Child]’s Birthday!”
• 
  
• Fill your party with music. Play a mix of classical music, or the Little Einsteins CD “Musical Missions” during the party.Cut music notes out of black construction paper and write the names of famous musicians, such as Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven, in silver or gold ink.
• 
  
• Let your guests feel like they've entered outer space! Tie together groups of four or five blue helium balloons and float them on the ceiling to resemble clouds. Then, cut out the shape of Rocket, the Little Einsteins’ transformable spacecraft, out of red construction paper and hang it from the ceiling with clear fishing line.
• 
  
• Hang printouts of famous art pieces, such as Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa or Van Gogh’s The Starry Night, on the walls of the party area. Make sure to include the artist’s name and the name of the art piece near the printout.
  
• Print out scenes from different geographic locations, such as Antarctica, the Sahara Desert, a South American rainforest, and the African wilderness. Laminate them and use them as placemats or prop them up on windowsills.

Little Einsteins Food Ideas

For any party, you can keep the food simple and serve traditional hotdogs, hamburgers, or pizza. However, if you would like to serve some unique snacks that relate to the theme, consider these tasty ideas:

• Serve different dishes from different countries and mark each dish with a sign that names the country it comes from. For instance, serve tiramisu from Italy, guacamole from Mexico, croissants from France, and hummus from the Middle East.
• 
  
• Serve a veggie tray that includes carrots, baby corn, snap peas, celery, and cherry tomatoes and mark it with a sign that says, “Brain Food”.
• 
  
• Serve juice, chocolate and regular milk, soda, and water with silly straws.
• 
  
• Set out cookies, frosting, sprinkles, colored sugar crystals, and decorator icing and let your guests create works of art that they can eat.
• 
  
• Set out small bowls filled with sour patch kids, goldfish snacks, pretzels, animal crackers, and mixed nuts.
• 
  
• Use cookie cutters shaped like musical instruments to cut out shapes in peanut butter & jelly sandwiches. You can also use them to cut out shapes in slices of cheese and lunchmeat to serve with crackers.
• 
  
• Make Little Einsteins “Rocket” cake! Use an 8” pan and a 9x13” pan and cut both cakes into oval shapes. Set the smaller oval on top of the bigger one – this creates the body of the spacecraft. For the engines, use frosting to attach a graham cracker vertically on top of an ice cream cone, and set one on either side of the cake, near the back. Frost everything in red frosting, except the area for the windows, and frost that section in blue frosting. Use black and yellow decorator icing to draw on the details.
