Little Drummer Boy Party

Every year I like to do a Christmas party-playdate for Lydia and Asa’s friends. One year we did a Gingerbread Party. This year we did an Operation Christmas Child Party. I just saw an awesome idea for a Christmas Playdate from my friends at When You Rise. I was trying to think of other non-Santa, semi-faith-centered themes I could use for a playdate and that’s when it hit me: Veggie Tales! Their new Little Drummer Boy movie would be perfect for a Christmas party. Or even a December birthday for a little boy!

I’m so excited to show you my…

TOP TEN IDEAS FOR A LITTLE DRUMMER BOY PARTY

1. Drum Cake

You can’t go wrong with a drum cake. And it’s pretty easy, too!

2. Drum Craft

There are tons of make-your-own drum crafts online. But I like this one that’s made out of a balloon because, honestly? It seems the quietest!

3. And Another Drum Craft

This looks so fun. Like quads, but with Pringles. I like.

 4. Little Drummer Boy Coloring Sheets

Print these off  and let your kids have at ’em!

5. Watch The Little Drummer Boy

Sit down with your drum cake or some popcorn and let the kids chill with their Veggie friends!

6. Mr. Lunt’s Hat

Mr. Lunt wore the best hat in the movie–and I’m tellin’ you the whole time I was watching the movie, I was thinking about these cookies:

Right?!

7. Play “Follow the Dancing Leader”

Grab your drum (preferably, a Veggie Tales drum!) and let the kids follow you around the room dancing like Aaron and his animals!

8. Snack: VEGGIES

Right? I mean, how easy is that??

9. Craft: Salt Dough Ornaments

I’ve linked to this post like 12 times, but I love it! You know I love being purposeful and active in helping my kids GIVE and do something HARD even when they are little. And this idea from Vanessa at Silly Eagle Books to make salt dough ornaments in the shape of animals, in order to sell and buy an actual animal for a needy family is just brilliant!

And since The Little Drummer Boy is partnering with World Vision to encourage families to give their best this Christmas, this is a perfect tie in. How fun would it be to let the kids make and paint ornaments together? And then set up a stand at the end of the driveway to sell? Or put them on Facebook for friends and family to gobble up? I totally want to do this.

10. Cupcake Toppers

Look! I made something for you! If you’d like to have your own Little Drummer Boy party—for your friends or just with your kids, what’s more fun than cupcake toppers? (Not much, based on how excited I am about these!) Just print them off, cut them out and attach to a stick!

Pin It

I (sadly) didn’t have any cupcakes. So, I wedged them into some ornaments. Cute, huh? Download your free cupcake toppers here! (There are 4 different designs!)

Oh,  I also made a Little Drummer Boy Pinterest board with more fun ideas!

    Thanks for the great ideas Amanda. Don’t forget to play “The Little Drummer Boy” by Go Fish Guys off their Snow album – it is awesome.

      Oooh! I don’t think I have the Go Fish Christmas! I need it!

      We just listened to TobyMac’s Drummer Boy! That was fun. 🙂
