As a parent, it\u2019s unlikely that you haven\u2019t heard of the \u2018Minions\u2019. But if they\u2019ve somehow passed you by, they\u2019re essentially small, comical characters with their own language, who\u2019ve been around for thousands of years. All they want is to serve the most despicable villain around but unfortunately, they have a bad habit of getting them killed due to their persistent oafishness.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the only thing that you really need to know is that kids love them. And if you\u2019re planning a party, \u2018Minions\u2019 is guaranteed to be a popular theme. Here are some great ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Minion Food<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to kids party food<\/a>, you can really get creative with a Minions theme. Some great ideas include:<\/span><\/p>\n

Minion Birthday Cake<\/span><\/p>\n

Simply cover a sponge cake in white icing and then mould the Minion figures and shapes from coloured fondant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Single Minion Birthday Cake<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not a confident baker, this single Minion birthday cake is the perfect choice. Simply coat the cake base in coloured frosting before decorating with black piped icing and fondant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Minion Decorations<\/span><\/p>\n

Minion decorations are all about the colour scheme. A great example is:<\/span><\/p>\n

Blue, White and Yellow Table Decorations.<\/span><\/p>\n

A blue table covering and yellow, white and blue tableware is the easiest way to get the look. On a side note, we also love this blue and yellow popcorn idea!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Minion Games<\/span><\/p>\n

No party is complete without some children’s fun games and activities<\/a> \u2013 don\u2019t forget to hand out prizes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stick the Goggles on the Minion\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A twist on the classic \u2018stick the tail on the donkey\u2019, \u2018stick the googles on the Minion\u2019 is guaranteed to be lots of fun. First, draw a Minion on a large piece of paper (minus the goggles, of course!) and then draw some goggles on a piece of card and cut them out. Place some double sided tape on the back of the goggles, blindfold each child in turn and see if they can guess where to stick the goggles on the Minion!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Minion Fancy Dress<\/span><\/p>\n

Fancy dress is always a popular party activity and Minion fancy dress is a great opportunity to get creative. The simplest outfits only require a long sleeved yellow top and dungarees. However, if you want to go all out, making goggles and decorating yellow hats will be lots of fun.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A Minion party theme is guaranteed to be popular with the kids \u2013 plus you can have lots of fun creating the food d\u00e9cor and activities.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
