Phineas and Ferb Party

Big Boy wanted a Phineas and Ferb party for his 3rd birthday. Our family all loves the show (sometimes Mom and Dad more than Big Boy!) We got really lucky and a WalMart close to us had P&F party supplies. We got tableware, a tablecloth and a balloon pack. For the goody bags I bought plain turquoise gift bags and glued and orange beak to the front and tail to the back so they looked like Perry the Platypus. We ordered the banner from Birthday Express. It highly exceeded my expectations. It's super sturdy and big! We wanted it to be something we could hang up in the playroom after the party so we made the text generic. I didn't plan any activities, at this age they just enjoy playing with toys we already have. The cake I made to Big Boy's specifications. He wanted a roller coaster going around P&F's backyard. There is a tree in their backyard they always sit under so I really wanted to include that. It's made from rice cereal treats. There is a dowel down the center that's holding it up, but we didn't put it on until right before the party because the tree was pretty heave. The roller coaster track is just round cakes cut in half and stood up. Then I filled in a little with extra cake between each semi-circle. The roller coaster car is a vanilla wafer cookie with m&m wheels. I couldn't have been happier with Big Boy's reaction! He loved it and was really proud that it was his cake. I tried to tie in more P&F to the food so I made Platypus Chow (puppy chow), P&F lemonade (they made a lemonade stand in an episode) and Eat that Gelatin Monster (jigglers, also from an episode). Some of the family that came are also big fans of P&F and they understood all the references and remembered the episodes. Though I think even those who've never seen it had a good time.
