One of my dearest friends just threw a Curious George themed party for her son's 3rd birthday. Actually, it was a Curious George the Fireman birthday party, since the birthday boy couldn't quite decide on one theme or the other. (Fortunately, the two were easy to combine!) As we were driving home from the party today, I started thinking about how some picture book characters like Curious George are just so lovable and have such staying power among children throughout the years. Granted, Curious George now has a show on PBS and I'm sure that has a lot to do with his current popularity among the preschool demographic, but his books are awfully popular, too. After all, his mischievous ways have been entertaining kids since Margret and H.A. Rey published the first book back in 1941. Still, I just love a character-themed birthday party!
Cake I made for the birthday boy :)
I was also inspired to write a quick post about this after seeing our fabulous party favors: paperback copies of
Curious George and the Firefighters and
Curious George and the Birthday Surprise! How cool is that? My kids also came home with plastic fire chief's hats and chocolate fire trucks, but I just love the idea of giving each child a book as a party favor. Fantastic!
Books for party favors! Brilliant!
Have you ever been to a book or character themed party? If so, I'd love to hear about it!
Thanks for a super fun day, Wong family!
