There are so many ways you can make a teddy bear picnic party fun. Scroll down for lots of fun party planning tips!
First things first, food! Food is an important part of any party, especially a teddy bear picnic party, but how many times have you been to a party where there is a huge buffet full of food that has hardly been touched?
Making a food box or bag for each child is a brilliant way to ensure each child has something they like to eat, and it reduces a lot of waste. Check with parents beforehand what their child would like in their sandwich and for any allergies.
For a teddy bear picnic party, making teddy bear food bags is a lot of fun! Draw teddy faces onto brown paper bags and then fill them with each child's food.
Keeping with the teddy bear theme, why not add teddy bear-shaped sandwiches and crisps!
If the weather is nice, grab a picnic blanket and head outdoors for your teddy bear picnic; if not, just set up the teddy bear picnic indoors instead!

Don't forget the birthday cake! A teddy bear-shaped cake is perfect for a teddy bear picnic party.
It is a little messier, but you could also make some teddy bear bread! You could either make this for the children ahead of time or have it as an activity for them to make their own.
The main focus of a teddy bear picnic party is going to be the picnic, but it’s nice to have a few other activities set up. Remember that a toddler's attention span is short, so having a few different activities will keep them busy.
Teddy Bears Picnic Party Entertainment Ideas
Having teddy bear music playing in the background adds to the party atmosphere.
A colouring table is perfect for keeping little ones busy as they are waiting for all their playmates to arrive.
Simple teddy bear-themed crafts like making a teddy bear mask, decorating a playdough teddy bear, making a teddy bear paper bag puppet, or making a cardboard tube bear craft will be popular with crafty kids.
Toddlers love going on hunts! Hide some teddy bears in the garden (or around the house if it’s wet outside) and tell the kids that they are going on a bear hunt. You could even read them the story “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ before you go!
Another fun idea is to hide some chocolate teddy bears for the kids to find and eat after their picnic or to keep as their take-home gift.
Keep any games simple, many toddlers aren’t really old enough to understand the rules of games. We made a feed the teddy game, which was lots of fun. To make this game, simply draw a teddy on a cardboard box and cut out a hole in its tummy. Kids can then take turns to see if they can throw balls into his tummy.
Instead of party bags, how about making a gift to take home? These stuff your own bear kits are great as they are fun to make and each child will love taking their own bear home at the end of the party!
You could even make birth or adoption certificates for your teddy bears. We have the printable teddy bear birth certificates shown below available in the Messy Little Monster printable shop.
