Yogi Bear Movie Theme Party Ideas

The " Yogi Bear " movie starring Dan Akroyd as Yogi and Justin Timberlake as Boo Boo is coming to theaters near you December 17, 2010. What would be more cuter than having bear paw prints throughout your house and the little guests dressed up as park rangers? This movie inspired party theme would be the hit of your block. Turn your street into Jellystone Park for the day completed with an unforgettable camping theme.

Invitations

Decide whether your having the party outdoors or inside. If you go with outside your invitations can be shaped like a tent, camp fire, woods theme, a marshmallow,or even a picnic.

Inside go with a slumber bag, park ranger, Yogi Bear, Boo Boo, bear paw prints, camo theme or a park theme. Since I can draw, I will give you easy steps on how to make your own Yogi Bear and then you can print it out if desired.

First step- Make two big round eyes, and two smaller circles in the middle of each eye.

Second step- Create a upside down gumdrop for the nose.

Third step- From the edge of the nose start creating a heart on both sides, but instead of coming to a V point at the bottom just go straight across from one side and connect it to the other.

Fourth step- Inside the heart section on face make a big wide letter C smile with two little upside down C's.

Fifth step- Creating the head. About an inch away from the heart section make a hump on each side and connect it to the bottom where you went straight across for the heart.

Last step- Create two ears and in the middle of the two ears make a wide triangle. Make sure the top is not pointy. It should have a slight curve. Then on each side add a small triangle.

Decorations

Think of a color scheme. Since we are going with Yogi Bear, I would go with a brown/green theme. This matches the colors on the bears, and it coordinates with a camping scene.

Use streamers, have little party hats, favors, matching plates, napkins, and cups. Oh and how about brown and green balloons along with a 39 inch Yogi balloon that can be found on Ebay? Then create paw prints all round the house, and put up little signs saying Jellystone park, and "Hey Boo Boo."

Party Food

Think small miniature baskets for each child, and lots of great picnic food such as peanut butter and jelly, cold chicken, marshmallows, raisins, pigs n blanket, fruit, yogurt, and any other fun small foods for kids.

Songs

It's a party you have to have some kind of music. It can be songs from Yogi Bear, or camping songs. Here is a cute Yogi bear song I found online your kids might enjoy. Then head over to Angelfire.com they have over 30 cute camping songs that will go perfect with your Yogi bear theme.
