How to Have a Tigger Party

Feature bouncy activities like space-hopping at your Tigger party.

Tigger, the beloved tiger character from "Winnie the Pooh" stories, inspires kids with his springy personality and love of bouncing. Host a Tigger-themed party for your child's birthday or other occasion with bounce-themed activities. Send Tigger invitations and decorate the party with his orange-and-black countenance. Direct a Tigger-themed game or craft and serve orange "bouncy" and Tigger-themed food. Assemble goody bags for your guests with Tigger stickers and toys. Factor in your child's age and the ages of her guests to customize the Tigger-themed party to their interests.

Instructions

1. Decorate your party space by setting out Tigger stuffed animals. Purchase pre-made Tigger party decor, including disposable tablecloths, plates, cups and napkins. Or, create your own tableware by decorating plain tablecloths and napkins with Tigger stickers and color printouts. Choose orange and black plates and napkins and keep plain for practical purposes. Tape pictures of Tigger to the walls, using color printouts, magazine cutouts or pre-made Tigger wall hangings bought at a party store.

2. Set out orange snack foods and drinks to match Tigger's bright color. Choose items like cheese puffs, baby carrots and orange soda and punch. Serve orange Jell-o to match Tigger's bounce. Top the cake with a pre-made Tigger cake topper or a small, plastic Tigger toy. If using a toy, take care to wash it with dish soap before use.

3. Stage Tigger-themed activities for your party guests. Choose one or more bouncing activities based on the ages and interests of your party guests. Rent a bounce house for younger children, or provide several space hoppers to bounce around the party space. Older kids will enjoy pogo sticks or a trampoline. Encourage "free" bouncing, or stage races with space hoppers and pogo sticks.

4. Print out Tigger coloring pages and provide crayons for younger party-goers. Allow each guest to take his artwork home at the end of the party.

5. Hang a large cutout of Tigger on the wall with his tail removed. Cut out curvy strips of orange paper and decorate with black stripes for "Pin the Tail on Tigger." Blindfold your party guests one at a time and challenge them to attach a tail on Tigger. Use transparent tape to attach each tail and declare a winner based on whose tail is closest to the target location.

6. Decorate paper lunch bags with Tigger stickers and fill each with Tigger goodies. Choose Tigger sticker sheets, tattoos or small toys. Add bounced-themed toys as well, such as rubber bouncy balls or small Slinkies.

Tips & Warnings

• Be mindful of safety and supervise the children at all times while they are bouncing.
