Teddy Bear Party Decorations

Is there any better teddy bear party than a picnic? We don't think so! For a picnic, the ideal venue is in your garden or a local park. Decorate with cute picnic baskets, gingham picnic blankets, and helium balloons.

Games

Once everyone has arrived, its time for some activities and party games! Here are our favourite ideas. Build-a-bear Kids will love a build-a-bear party - whether that's at the shop itself or DIY. Teddy Bear Party Ideas for Kids - Par-T-Pets Featured Image: Par-T-Pets Why not buy your own bear making kit, and spend the afternoon getting creative at home? It's an amazing idea for smaller birthday parties, and will leave kids with their own bear to treasure, too. Colouring in For quieter parties, a bit of colouring in is ideal. Hand out cute bear print outs and have the children colour them in. The best one could win a prize, such as tasty gummy bears! Sleeping Bears An adaption to the traditional sleeping lions. Have children pretend to be sleeping bears on the floor, and the adults can be the hunters! Whoever moves or laughs on the floor will also become a hunter. The last bear wins!

Food

There are so many cute food ideas that are perfect for a teddy bear party, especially an adorable picnic. Firstly, you will want sandwiches or pizzas in teddy bear shapes. To really get into the bear theme, honey sandwiches are ideal! For a lighter snack, add 'Pombear' crisps, fruit, and tasty cupcakes.

Ideas for a Children's Teddy Bear Picnic

A teddy bear picnic is a birthday theme that both boys and girls will love! To celebrate International Picnic Day, we're taking a look at some irresistibly cute ideas to inspire a truly magical teddy bears picnic theme.

Teddy Bear Picnic Invitations

Start the fun with adorable personalised invitations. A teddy bear design introduces the party theme and gets the children ready for an outdoors adventure. Don't forget to include all the important details, like the time and location. You could also remind the kids to bring their favourite teddy bear along to the picnic.

Decorations

No picnic is complete without a traditional red and white gingham blanket! The pattern will give any party a classic picnic feel, and it can always be reused for family picnics in the future. Add a wicker basket packed with treats, set up some stuffed bears and child-friendly cutlery, and you're ready to welcome the guests. For larger parties, you can serve food up in individual bags rather than putting them inside the basket. Our party bags and stickers are perfect for this!
