Create a Barney inspired playroom using fun and festive Barney party decorations. To start, tie purple and green balloons around the room, at the party entrance and on the mailbox. Hang purple, green, and yellow streamers from the ceiling and cover the party table with a purple table cover and accent with green place settings. For centerpieces, filled large clear candy jars with purple and green M&M’s and gum drops. Top each jar with a stuffed Barney doll or dinosaur plushie.

Bake vanilla cupcakes and top with purple and green frosting. Decorate the top of each cupcake with Barney cake toppers. For cookies, bake sugar cookies in fun shapes like hearts, stars, and moons. Decorate each cookie with purple frosting and fun Barney phrases like "stu-u-u-pendous," "super-de-duper," "I love you," and "tee-rific."

A kid’s birthday party isn’t complete without playing a few games. Think of one or two Barney inspired games for the kids to play during the party. An idea for an easy Barney activity is to have a sing-a-long. Sing all of the popular songs from the show including, “I Love You” and “Please and Thank You.” Another game to play is Barney’s imagination castle. Set up a cardboard castle filled with different toys. Let the kids use their imagination and have fun in the castle just like Barney does.

To complete the birthday celebration, hand out small, plush dinosaurs for each guest to take home. These party favors are the perfect way for guests to remember your Barney celebration!
