Cookies! Cookies! Cookies! The goofy blue character from Sesame Street is obsessed with the little round goodies. You will feel the same way about our party ideas inspired by the loveable Cookie Monster. Simple decorating ideas, milk and cookies buffet and sweet treat favors make this a fun birthday party theme for all ages to enjoy.
Decorating for a Cookie Monster is easy. Take advantage of basic party supplies and all you have to do is make everything look like Cookie Monster. Bonus: It's fun and guests will be impressed with your creativity.
- Party hats, drink cups and favor bags - Start with blue paper hats, cups and bags. On each one, glue large googly eyes and a black felt shape made to look like a mouth. Instant Cookie Monster faces.
- Paper lanterns - These party decor staples make perfect Cookie Monsters. Using paper or felt, cut out two large white circles and two smaller black circles for eyes. Also, cut a large mouth-shaped piece in black. Glue one set to each lantern.
- Cupcakes - Frost vanilla cupcakes with blue frosting using a star shape-decorating tip. The individual star shapes will resemble Cookie Monster's fur. Use white candy melts and chocolate chips for eyes. For the mouth, use half of an Oreo cookie.
Naturally, you will want to serve cookies at a Cookie Monster themed birthday party. Take it one-step further by creating a milk and cookies bar, similar to popular candy buffets, where guests can choose their favorite cookie and milk flavors.
- Cookie Monster likes chocolate chip, but you can include other flavors on your buffet such as sugar, oatmeal and frosted monogram cookies.
- Display the cookies on white plates and stacked cake stands. Fill glass candy jars with any bite-sized versions.
- Label each flavor so guests know which kind of cookie they want.
- Serve milk in individual cartons or bottles. Keep them cold in metal tubs filled with ice.
- Accent your milk and cookies buffet with plush Cookie Monster toys and trim the table with blue pom-pom fringe.
If you made the Cookie Monster favor bags, all you need is something the fill them up. Start with these kid-friendly ideas.
- Include an easy recipe for chocolate chip cookies that kids can help mom or dad make.
- Attach each recipe to a small rubber spatula in blue. Search local dollar stores for inexpensive items.
- Add a Sesame Street book or a small plush Cookie Monster Character.
- Fill in with chocolate candies.
The activities you plan for a Cookie Monster party should, of course, revolve around cookies and the blue monster.
- Guess the Cookies in the Cookie Jar Fill a large clear cookie jar with cookies counting as you go. Have guests guess the number of cookies in the jar. The person with the closest guess gets to take the jar home.
- Cookie Monster Bingo Play a game of Bingo as you normally would using bite-sized cookies as markers.
- Cookie Monster Masks Cut large circles out of blue construction paper, one for each child. Cut out two holes for eyes and a large, half-cookie shape for the mouth. To create fur, bring out the glue and give kids blue pom-poms or feathers to stick on. Use ribbon glued to the sides of each circle to tie around each child's head.
