Trivia Theme Night


Adopt a Stuffed Kitty

Well we went to a Theme Trivia Party.  What a great idea for winter fun and it kept the kids and their grandma busy planning all week.  We picked cats as our main theme but added other pets to accent the entire theme.  The kids made adoption certificates for each of the pets and both old and young had fun coming over to adopt a "kitty".

Cute Little Strawberry Mice

These were so cute I couldn't believe it.  They were one of my favorite things the kids made.  And mice and cats seem to go together.
Kitty Cupcakes

Not only did they make cupcakes from scratch but they decorated them so cute.  Paws and faces.  I like this idea a lot as if you have a lot of kids participating in preparation each one can decorate a cupcake or two their own way.
Kitty Cucumber and Cream Cheese Sandwiches

These were so good.  They mixed up dill and cream cheese to make a filling and then used diced up black olives, dill for whiskers and a piece of tomato for a nose.

A Fish Bowl

Although the fish bowl aesthetically didn't quite meet our standards.  It was very popular.  We put tongs inside the bowl so we would not get a bunch of hands.  None of the Swedish Fish were swimming but the Nerds added color as gravel.  We thought about making blue jello for the fish to "swim" in but passed on the idea.

Meow Mix Cat Chow

We used dog and cat food bowls (new and washed) to put  a cereal season mixed. This was great to snack on during the game.



Okay, these didn't fit the theme too well but they are so cute and look just like dog biscuits.  

Then everyone decided we needed costumes!


Who knew there were these powerful cat t-shirts!

I think theme parties can be fun although they take a bit of planning. I remember as a kid participating a couple times in theme activities where everyone made food from a different culture.  It was so fun.  If you have done a theme party before or might do one soon, please comment and let us know what your them was or what you would pick as a theme.
