Party Guide
Create an Ocean of Fun
- Create an "ocean" for party guests to "swim" through as they enter the front door. Tape long pieces of green and blue streamers to the ceiling or door frame, and attach balloons to the streamers.
- Offer Fish Candy Necklaces for the children to wear and munch on. Using a needle, alternately thread assorted gummy fish candies and ring-shaped hard candies on a one-yard length of dental floss. Tie ends together to secure necklace.
- Make Big Catch party favors. Cut 8-inch squares of netting (available at fabric stores). Empty packets of Betty Crocker Shark Bites fruit snacks and gummy worm candies onto the center of each square; tie with a colorful ribbon.
- Create unique, photo party invitations from Kodak Gallery!
Make Ocean Edibles
Play Some Fishin' Fun Games
- Place 1/4 cup tiny fish-shaped crackers, 3 pretzel sticks and 1 tablespoon peanut butter on a small plate for each child. To catch the "fish," kids dip each pretzel stick "fishing rod" into the peanut butter "bait," and then try to catch a cracker
"fish." Everyone's a winner!
- Tape a number to the bottoms of plastic fish (available at toy or discount stores). Place the fish in a kiddie pool or plastic tub filled with water. Kids try to "catch" a fish with a net or long-handled strainer (with adult supervision) to win a prize matching the number on the fish.
