Elmo Party Favors

There is no character more charming, endearing and cuddly that the little red Elmo, from Sesame Street. He has the cute voice, the huggable little red furry body and such a sweet character, that he is one of the most loved and popular characters from the long running children's television series.

So if you have a birthday party for a young member of your family coming up, Elmo is a perfect theme for babies or toddlers and handing out Elmo party favors will delight all of the children at the party, no matter what age they are.

To organise an Elmo themed birthday party for your child, there are few ways to go about it. The easiest, but not the cheapest way, is to visit any party supplies store or a party online store and stock up on all the Elmo themed party supplies that are available. Not only are there cute Elmo birthday party favors, but there are also a whole range of coordinating supplies, so that all you will see around the party is the smiling face of Elmo where ever you look.

The coordinating range includes great items like wall decorations that are removable, mylar balloons that can be filled with helium and hung from the ceilings, cups, plates and napkins that all have little Elmos on them, tableclothes, gorgeous cake toppers and table centerpieces. There are so many great colorful and coordinating items that it is mind boggling.

This is certainly the quickest and easiest option, but if you want a more toned down party, the perhaps just handing out generic Kids Birthday party favors would be an option. You can get Sesame Street themed empty party favor boxes and then fill them with your choice of items. You can have your child prepare some home made cookies or treats to go in the box, or perhaps some other crafts that have been made at home.

Then for the decorating, Elmo is red, so red would be the main color that would dominate at the party. But Sesame Street operates on very primary colors, to anything red, blue or yellow would be suitable for decorations in keeping with the simple primary colors. You could make a game of pin the nose on Elmo to keep the kids amused, or perhaps create a game of who can talk like Elmo and hand out small prizes for the kids.

There are many ideas of how you can create an Elmo themed birthday party without the expense. If you are handy at baking and have all the supplies, you could easily fashion a birthday cake also with the face of Elmo. Just download a picture from the internet, and copy the design onto a cake and fill with colored frosting and then decorate the outlines with black licorice to finish of the design.

Additionally, since Elmo is such a cute little guy and is associated with Sesame Street, which is aimed at young children, the Elmo birthday theme is a perfect first birthday party idea. First birthdays are one of the milestone years that parents like to celebrate and usually the first birthday parties are much looked forward to and well planned, with relatives and long time friends of the parents in attendance. There are likely to be lots of varied ages of children at the 1st birthday party, so the Elmo party favor box is perfect for ages up to around 10.
