Does your child have an Ugly Doll? One of those dolls that are actually so ugly, it’s cute. That’s what I always think. How about you? Wouldn’t it be a creative theme to build a party around these Ugly Dolls? Like it? Read on for some Ugly Doll party inspiration.
- Using your favorite colors of card stock, cut out the invitation cards in the shape of the Ugly Doll. Write your party details on one side and have the birthday child decorate the Ugly Doll invitation with craft materials.
- Those same Ugly Doll cutouts that you used for your party invitation can also be used as part of your Ugly Doll decor around the party room. Cut out a large Ugly Doll shape and place on your front door with a “Welcome to (Birthday Child’s Name) Ugly Doll Party!” Place smaller Ugly Doll cutouts on the party walls, table, and suspended from the ceiling with fishing wire.
- For a table centerpiece, place several Ugly Dolls in the center with balloons tied to them.
- Have the kids make their own Ugly Dolls.
- Play Hot Ugly Doll, just like Hot Potato.
- Play Pin the Eye on the Ugly Doll, using a real Ugly Doll that you don’t mind getting pinned.
- Let the kids free play with their Ugly Dolls
- Create small slips of paper with the Ugly Doll characters written on them. Have the kids choose a slip of paper and act out the Ugly Doll personality for the rest of the guests to guess. Give everyone a turn to play these Ugly Doll Charades.
- Make Ugly Doll shaped cookies and have the kids decorate them with colorful frosting and candies to match their dolls.
- The kids can take their Ugly Dolls home for their party favors.
