Disney has released another blockbuster movie, BOLT and kids are giving it rave reviews!

BOLT BIRTHDAY PARTY GAMES
when hosting a two hour party for kids, it's customary to prepare 2-3 games and a craft or quiet activity. If you are going to see the Bolt movie and then return home for a celebration, you'll just need to plan one party game, cake and ice cream and time for opening presents.

Rhino Bowling
Of course I would NEVER suggest using Rhino or any real hamster for a bowling game ,
but a toy hamster and a hamster ball can be used for some entertaining party games.
You’ll need:
Three- Ten (it’s your choice) 1 liter empty pop or seltzer bottles
Markers
Tape or glue stick
Masking Tape
Images from the movie – you can print some from the internet or use a coloring book

To make the bowling pins and play the game:
Draw, print or color images from the movie onto sheets of paper. Then wrap the papers around the bottles and secure with tape. When hosting small children, you may only need three pins.
Older guests will be entertained by the challenge of knocking down more pins.
Now, place strips of tape to create your bowling alley and set the pins. Each of the children will take turns knocking down the pins.

Across the Country Scavenger Hunt
Create a “cross country” adventure of danger and intrigue with Bolt, Rhino and Mittens…
With some preparation and a little time this is a very entertaining party activity.
Write and hide clues with a US theme. Each clue will need to another until the kids find their party bags, birthday a cake or prizes to share.

Bolt Meets a Challenge
If you have the space this theme lends itself well to an obstacle course.
For an indoor course consider using pillows, couch cushions, tables and chairs. Can the players be as agile as Bolt the super dog?
Play the movie soundtrack while the kids run the course.

Need a quiet activity?

Coloring sheets
Try printing out coloring sheets or maps for the kids to color.

Dog Tags
Purchase metal dog tags at the craft store and bead collars or necklaces with pony beads.

BIRTHDAY PARTY FOOD AND TREATS
Bolt Party Cupcakes
Create dog paw print cupcakes using chocolate wafer cookies and chocolate mint candies like Junior mints. Or you can decorate the top with a lightning bolt made with yellow decorator frosting.

Serve Dog bone shaped sandwiches and or cookies and send the kids home with a bag of Puppy chow for Humans (not for dogs!)
