Maggie and the Ferocious Beast Birthday & Gift Ideas

1. Bake a basic sheet cake and then top it with a magnifying glass, binoculars or a spyglass. You can use as many of these items as you want to decorate the top of your cake.

2. Another idea would be to create a magnifying glass cake.

3. Design a Ferocious Beast Cake. Bake a sheet cake and cover it with yellow icing. Then, place on red fondant circles for the beast's spots.

Regardless of which cake you chose to make, you can print out Maggie and the Ferocious Beast images from the Internet and attach them to toothpicks. You can then insert them into the finished cake to pull the theme together. I did something similar with my Little Bear cake. It came out very nice.

Magnifying Glasses (pk/12)
Maggie is never without her trusty magnifying glass! This would make a great addition to the party favor bags.





Binoculars (pk/12)
Another one of Maggie's most used items for exploring. At this great price, you can include a binocular in everyones party favor bag.




Children's Pith Hat
The party guests can explore just like Maggie with this fun pith hat. Hat is approximately 11.5" in diameter.

12 Childs Plastic Safari Hats
These plastic explorer hats are slightly less expensive than the pith hats featured above. If you are trying to keep costs down, these hats are a great option.

Magnifying Glass Pinata

Treasure Hunt: When the kids arrive at the party, hand out the binoculars and explorer hats listed above. (the party guests can take these items home as party favors afterwards.) Create a map of Nowhere Land and have a fun treasure hunt using ideas from the show.

Pin the Red Dot on the Ferocious Beast: Purchase a large poster board. Draw the beast onto the board. Trust me, you don't need to be Picasso to pull this off. Just draw a large yellow animal, with horns and large red dots. The kid's will get it. Leave one red dot off and have the kid's try to help the Ferocious Beast find his missing dot.

The Ferocious Beast Spot Toss: Cut the Ferocious Beast out of a large piece of yellow felt and cut the spots out of red felt. Have the children toss the red dots onto the Ferocious Beast.

Help Hamilton Find His Way Home: Get a large cardboard box like the one Hamilton lives in. Use a plush Hamilton doll or create your own Hamilton. You can print an image of Hamilton from the Internet and attach it to sock stuffed with tissue. Kind of like a Hamilton Sock Monkey! The kids can each take a turn tossing Hamilton into his cardboard box and helping him find his way home.

Customize a Party Pinata: You can use a customizable pinata to create a Maggie and the Ferocious Beast pinata for your party. Simply attach one of the theme dinner plates listed above to the front and you are ready to go!
