Disney characters are popular, but when it comes to having a Disney character birthday party, ready-made birthday supplies are fairly limited. This is mainly due to the stringent merchandising of Disney items. If your kids are like mine, they'll want a party with some of the lesser known Disney characters -- mine wanted a Goofy & Minnie party. So, here's how to do it for a 3-year old's party.

Things You'll Need:

  • Minnie poster
  • Black self-adhesive felt

Tips & Warnings
  • Buy simple balloons and crepe paper to decorate. Use green and orange for Goofy and pink and yellow for Minnie
  • Buy dried fruit sticks at Trader Joes. I couldn't find any dark colored fruit snacks at the regular market.
  • Split Oreo cookies in half and scrap out filling so the ears will stay in the frosting better.
