Backyardigans Birthday Ideas
The Backyardigans is a popular children's show on Nickelodeon that revolves around the backyard adventures of five friends--Pablo, Tyrone, Uniqua, Tasha and Austin. In each episode, the friends imagine themselves on different adventures in far-away places, such as digging for dinosaur bones in the desert, participating in an around-the-world race or journeying to the center of the earth. Think about these different adventures when planning your child's Backyardigans party to come up with a creative and enjoyable birthday adventure. Does this Spark an idea?

Backyardigan Party Invitations
-
Backyardigans party invitations are readily available in party stores, but if you want to make them more personalized and save money, you can make them yourself. An easy way to make your own invitations is to print out color images of the characters from your computer and mount them on colored cardstock. Choose the appropriate colored cardstock, depending on the character you are creating, such as blue for Pablo, orange for Tyrone or purple for Austin. The party details can be written clearly with a bold marker on the character and mailed to your child's friends.
Choosing a Venue
-
Plan to host your Backyardigans party in your backyard, if possible. If the weather doesn't permit an outdoor party, bring the backyard into your home by decorating with palm trees, backyard toys or even a sandbox. For snacks and cake, have children sit at a picnic table.

Party Food
-
If you are providing a meal to your party guests, plan on serving picnic foods such as hot dogs, hamburgers and pasta salad. For snack ideas, look to the ending of each Backyardigans episode, where one character invites the others over for a snack after the conclusion of their adventure. Granola bars, graham crackers, raisins and apples are all good choices.
Party Games
-
The Backyardigans television show is all about pretend play, so incorporate as many opportunities as possible for party guests to use their imaginations. Put out a toy box filled with dress-up clothes that represent themes from popular Backyardigans episodes, such as pirates, princesses, swamp monsters and super heroes. You could also put out musical instruments and have the children play along with their favorite Backyardigans' songs.
