Monsters University {MU} Party

 Once I received all the applications, I emailed an “Acceptance” letter with all the details:  when Freshman orientation was, a schedule, campus map, and list of items to bring.

 I gathered a team of older girls together to be my:

We transformed our yard into the MU college campus.  The front yard was set up with a table, banners, balloons, signs for registration.  I had two girls out front “checking” people in.  I totally spaced taking pictures of this.  We had almost 30 kids!  The night before we stayed up till midnight creating a monster for everyone and creating a laminated MU Student ID card.  Disney has a website called Create-A-Monster.  It is so much fun.  You can pick your monster body, skin, fur, hair, eyes, horns, etc.  Then you type in your first name and last initial and it generates a monster last name.  We did this for all 30 kids.

This is me, Amanda Needleman.  Now how do those Disney people know I sew!!!

The cafeteria was fun.  We were just open for snacks.  I made popcorn balls – you can’t tell but they were neon green.   Jell-O brand came out with Monsters University Jell-O & Jell-O molds.  The green was s’lime and the blue was Berry Scary.

 We also had Monsters University fruit snacks.

 Student Center

 I found this poster at Wal Mart – I love all the monsters!  At the student center the moms hung out and talked.  Towards the end of the party we had a little “School Dance”.  We played scare dance.  It’s like freeze dance, only when you freeze, you have to do a “Scare” pose.

Art Club

 The Art Club was a hit.  I had river rocks, paint & googley eyes.  Yep, we made monster rocks.  They turned out super cute!

The GYM

I think this was the biggest hit!  We turned our shed into the scare floor.  The children sat around and one would go into the shed (which is pretty scary) then come out and try to do their best “scare”.

The Library

 The library was a blanket on the grass.  I bought this cute Monsters University story book at Sam’s Club.  It has about 10 different stories with pictures.  The children sat around while on of our faculty read it to them.  I thought it would be cute to make monster bookmarks – but I ran out of time.

 Most of the children brought plain T-shirts.  During the party I ironed on an MU.  Don’t they all look cute!!  We will all be wearing them to the movies on Friday!!
