- Mini Party Hats: Create tiny paper hats for stuffed animals.
- Themed Balloons: Balloons shaped like bears, bunnies, or other animals.
- Picnic Style Setup: Use blankets, pillows, and cushions for a cozy stuffed-animal-friendly vibe.
🎂 Food & Snacks: For Kids AND Plushies
- Mini Cupcakes & Cookies for kids.
- “Plushie Plates” – set up empty plates or toy food for stuffed animals to “join in.”

- Stuffed Animal Cake – a cake decorated with teddy bears or their favorite plush character.
🎲 Fun Activities for Kids & Plushies
1. Plush Fashion Show
Have kids dress up their stuffed animals with scarves, paper crowns, or tiny accessories. Walk them down a “runway” (a decorated blanket or rug) and let everyone cheer.
2. Adoption Certificates
Print out little “Adoption Certificates” for each plushie. Kids can write their stuffed animal’s name, age, and favorite activity. This makes a great keepsake!
3. Stuffed Animal Check-Up
Set up a pretend “plush hospital.” Provide toy stethoscopes, bandages, and stickers. Kids can give their stuffed animals a “check-up” and pretend to take care of them.
4. Story Time with Plushies
Read a fun animal-themed book and let every child hold their plush during story time. Bonus points if you write a short “birthday adventure” story about the guest of honor!
5. Craft Station
Kids can make simple accessories for their stuffed animals, like paper bow ties, necklaces, or hats. Provide craft paper, markers, and stickers.
6. Photo Booth Fun
Set up a corner with props (balloons, hats, confetti) and let kids take photos with their stuffed animals. This creates lasting memories.
🎁 Party Favors & Goodie Bags
Send kids home with:
- Small stuffed keychains or mini plushies.
- Stickers and coloring pages of animals.
- DIY craft kits to continue the fun at home.
