Thing 1 & Thing 2 Invitations
An easy and fun way to make invitations for a Thing 1 and Thing
2 birthday party is to buy blank cards that are red on the
outside. Take a small piece of light blue feathery garland (use
the downy type feathers) and hot glue it across the top of the
card.
You can also buy large round labels (at any office supply) and
stick 2 of them in the center of the red cards. Hot glue a
small piece of the lt. blue feathery down to the top of the
circles. Write (or print on your computer) on the stickers
"Thing 1" and "Thing 2". |
Thing 1 and Thing 2 Party Decorations
The Thing 1 and Thing 2 birthday party theme colors should be light
blue, white and red.
Set out red tablecloths and place large white circles that are cut out
of fabric or felt around the tops of the tables. (You can also
reverse this and use white tablecloths and red circles.) Use
white, red or light blue solid plates.
On the party tables and around the room place small glass containers
(like small fish bowls) filled with red, white or light blue stones or
marbles. In each container place fresh carnations in white and
red. Around the top of the glass container hot glue some of the
light blue feathery garland. Set out clear glass vases filled with
large blue and white feather plumes.
Thing 1 and Thing 2 Party Activities
Thing 1 and Thing 2 Bank
Make a
fun bank by covering small containers that have a lid with red felt or
scrapbooking paper. Glue on light blue feathery garland around the
top of the lid. Have an adult cut a hole in the top of the lid
where money can be inserted.
Picture Frames
Let
guests paint wooden picture frames with red paint and then decorate with
sparkly gems in white, red and light blue. Hot glue light blue
feathers to the top of the frame.
Thing 1 and Thing 2
T-shirts
Buy red t-shirts and iron on a "Thing 1" or "Thing 2" white patch in the
center or let the party guests paint their own with fabric paint.
This is a fun way to separate teams for party games - before the party
make up shirts for both Thing 1 and Thing 2 and let the party guests
decorate with their name.
Thing 1 and Thing 2 Party Games
For these fun games have party guests split up into two teams. For
each team make up large white circle stickers that say either "Thing 1"
or "Thing 2" and have the teams wear them to show which team they are
on.
Pin the Hair on the Thing
Place a poster or a big drawing of Thing 1 or
Thing 2 on the wall. Give each guest a small piece of light blue
"hair" made out of construction paper or poster board. Stick tape
to backs of each guests "hair" and write their name on it. Blindfold the
children and spin them gently around. The party guest who tapes their
"hair" nearest to the top of the "Thing's" head wins!
Thing 1 and Thing 2 Tag Games
Play these tage games with a new twist ... have 2
kids be "it" and call them Thing 1 and Thing 2!
Thing 1 and
Thing 2 Red Dot Tag Game - Make several
bases that players can use to be "safe" for a short time while being
chased. The bases can be made out of large red cushions, poster
board or red fabric.
Freeze Thing Game - When
tagged by a Thing the players have to freeze. They can't move at all
until another player unfreezes them. After the "things" freeze every
player they pick the people to be “it”.
Thing 1 and
Thing 2 Team Tag
Instead of 1 child who is
"it" choose two children to hold hands and be "double it" ... Thing 1
and Thing 2! They must hold hands during the time they are it and
have to try and tag people as a team.
