TEDDY BEAR BIRTHDAY PARTY DECORATIONS
Think bears, bears and more bears. However remember that this teddy bear birthday party is for the younger kids so you don't need to go overboard spending money on lots of fancy items which they may not even notice.
- Clear out your cuddly toy cupboard, get down to your thrift store or get to a garage sale and get out those teddies. Place the largest Teddy that you can find at the entrance to your house or Teddy bear party venue. Attach a helium filled balloon to his arm.
- Make large bear paw footprints form cardboard and lay them on the ground leading from your gate and into the party area.
- If you are having a Teddy bears picnic, set up a picnic area with small tables and chairs. Lay a big mat on the floor for the picnic.
- If you are using a table, cover it with bright, disposable checked tablecloth and place a small Teddy on each chair.
- We all know that bears love honey so make a mobile of buzzing paper bees hanging from the ceiling using clear fishing line.
- Put up groups of bright balloons. A cluster of balloons always looks more impressive than individual ones.
- Place teddies everywhere in the party room/area. Place the ones that you don't want played with out of reach of little hands.
- Set up a Teddy bear party cave in the corner of the party room using cardboard boxes or a tepee tent and fill with large cushions or bean bags. Place all sorts of toys in the cave and let the little ones explore and jump about.
- Write the name of each child on a paper cup and plate and put name stickers on chairs.
- Attach a helium balloon to the back of each chair.

TEDDY BEAR BIRTHDAY PARTY FOOD
Little kids can be fussy eaters. They often like to eat on the move and so I would suggest finger foods and nibbles. Don't use plates unless you are sure the kids will sit at a table.
You could also use cardboard kids food boxes with handles which are ideal as the kids can carry them around and nibble when they want to.
Other alternatives could be small picnic baskets or the green containers strawberries are sold in. Line them with a checkered red and white napkin to make them look more exciting.
Label cups with the child's name on so they know (or rather the adults know) which is theirs and avoid straws for the toddlers as they just get chewed.
- Peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches
Cut out sandwiches in the shape of a bear with a cookie cutter. - Bear-Burger
Use a cookie cutter to cut the hamburger patties and make bear faces on them with olives, strips of carrot and cherry tomatoes.
- Honey Bear Punch
Mix together 2 quarts lemonade, 3 quarts unsweetened pineapple juice, and 2/3 cup honey.
- Panda Biscuits
Make a cookie dough and make rounds. When cooked, decorate with black and white icing to make a panda face.
- Teddy Bear party Cake
Prepare a basic cake mix. Make 2 round cakes for the body and head and then 6 cupcakes (4 for the paws and 2 for the ears). Cover with frosting and then add the final decorations such as shredded coconut or chocolates sprinkles for the fur, M&M's for eyes, black licorice for the claws and dolly mixtures for the nose. Just use whatever you have in the house. Or use one of the cute cake tins on the right to make a bear cake.

TEDDY BEAR PARTY CAKE
by Trishia Bartle
(Baldwinsville, N.Y., USA)
This was my third time making this teddy bear party cake. I made the cake for my mothers my own and a friends baby shower.
I used a cake mould and used boxed cake mix. As for the frosting it was homemade in which i had used different sized star tips for the decorations.
