Littlest Pet Shop Party Game and Activity Ideas #LittlestPetShop #birthday #crafts

Last week, Selah hosted a Littlest Pet Shop party. We had yummy snacks and played some great games! Make sure to check out our Littlest Pet Shop Party Snacks post, as well!

We came up with a couple of fun games. The first was Musical Paw Prints. Special guest, Blythe Baxter, (aka Lynzie) made these adorable paw print pieces and arranged them in a circle on the floor.

I found the Littlest Pet Shop theme song on YouTube and played it as the kids walked from paw print to paw print. When I hit pause, they all had to stop on a print. As the game went on, we took away one print at a time, so that the person who didn't find a print when the music stopped was out. The last person standing on a print was the winner!

Our second game was, Penny Ling Says. We found this image of Penny Ling online and made a badge that the "caller" could wear during the game.

The caller pretended to be Penny Ling and called out commands to the group saying, "Penny Ling says _____."

The kids were full of giggles as "Penny Ling" told them to do silly things like balance on one foot or touch their noses to the floor. It was a fun way to celebrate in true Pet Shop style!

When Calls the Heart Series --- Review & Giveaway

When I was given the opportunity to review Volume One of the When Calls the Heart series, I was beyond thrilled! I've been reading Janette Oke's Canadian West series since I was a brand new bride---back in 1997! Her books are so inspiring and, while filled with love and romance, they're done in a tasteful way that reflects true Biblical standards for modesty, propriety, and Christian marriage.

I'm excited to see her books come alive in film, as well. This 3-DVD set includes the first six episodes that tell the beautiful story of Elizabeth Thatcher, a young teacher assigned to a small mining town in the Canadian West. She experiences a simple life in her new home---but it's definitely full of challenges. You'll enjoy watching her love story unfold and be encouraged in your faith.

Family Christian is giving away a free set to one US winner! Enter the Rafflecopter giveaway below to snag your own free copy! a Rafflecopter giveaway

Littlest Pet Shop Party Snack Recipes #LittlestPetShop

Last week, Selah hosted a Littlest Pet Shop party with some adorable snacks and games! Be sure to visit our post on Littlest Pet Shop party games to round out your event. Check out these great ideas and let me know if you host your own Littlest Pet Shop party!

Zoe's Perfect Puppy Chow

9 c. square-shaped rice cereal 
1 c. chocolate chips
1/2 c. peanut butter
1/4 c. butter or margarine
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar

Measure cereal into a large bowl and set aside. Melt chocolate, peanut butter, and butter and stir until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over cereal and stir well to coat. Put mixture in a 2-gallon size zip bag, along with powdered sugar. Shake until well-coated. Pour out on wax paper to cool. You can also stir the sugar into the cereal mix, but it's way messier and clumpy.

Russell's Hedgehog Treats
1 c. real butter
8 oz. cream cheese
2 lbs. powdered sugar
1 pkg. chocolate almond bark
1-2 c. chow mein noodles

Mix butter and cream cheese until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar completely. Spoon out oval-shaped clumps onto wax paper and refrigerate 1 hour. Melt almond bark and dip the pieces to coat well. Set on wax paper and immediately top with chow mein noodles. Let cool on the counter. A variation would be to either mix coconut into the cream cheese mix or top the candies with toasted coconut instead of the dry noodles.

These are just your average flavored gelatin in a cup, topped with whipped topping. You can use some of the almond bark to make little chocolate shapes to stick into the dessert.

Just pour your melted chocolate into some semblance of your desired shape and let harden in the fridge a couple minutes. Remove with a spatula and try to handle them as little as possible as they do melt in your hand.

Here are a few more Littlest Pet Shop snack ideas from around the web. Happy partying!
