Polar Express Party
Is your child obsessed with “The Polar Express”? We encourage you to host a “Polar Express” Christmas Party! The best private schools in Orlando has the guide for you and your child to throw the coolest party of the season.
Activities and Games
Activities and games are the essence of a party, especially a “Polar Express” party! Your child and her friends will find joy in these themed activities!
Wear pajamas: For a party like this, skip the fancy wear; it’s all about the pajamas! The children in the book wear pajamas, and it makes the whole idea extra fun!
Read the book: Your party is inspired by this classic book, so take the time to read it all over again!
Pin the nose on the snowman: This is a cute and festive game your child will love! It’s a snowy twist on the classic “pin the tail on the donkey” game.
The Polar Express: And of course it wouldn’t be a “Polar Express”- themed party if the movie isn’t played.
Arts and Crafts
Children love arts and crafts! A party should have hands-on activities and projects that not only make it fun, but also taps into your child’s imagination.
Hot Cocoa Mug
A hot cocoa mug is a simple yet fun Christmas craft for your child to do! All you need is green, light brown, and red construction paper, ribbon, glue, white pom poms, and scissors. Start by free drawing a mug on the red or green paper. Cut that out, then cut out a brown oval that will be the hot cocoa liquid. Glue white pom poms on for marshmallows. Use the ribbon to tie a bow and place it under the cocoa. And voila — you have a crafty cocoa mug that you can turn the mug into a card by signing it!
Food and Drink
Every party needs food and drinks! Consider these festive snacks to get the party going.
Hot Cocoa
Hot cocoa is the way to go at a “Polar Express” party. To really get into the spirit, give all the children bells (from Santa’s sleigh, of course) and play the Hot Cocoa song from the movie! Purchase festive mugs, and put out a hot cocoa bar. Guests can choose toppings, such as whipped cream, mini marshmallows, candy canes, and sprinkles.
Cupcake Toppers
Top your treats with festive toppers, such as holidays trains to fit the theme. Have your child help you decorate the pastries!
