Dora the Explorer Party Favors

[mommytotwo]

I am putting things together for my daughter's second birthday party. I had gotten the plastic Dora cups-20 to be exact and each family will have one as their party favor. Some families have kids and some are older people. I was thinking of putting party mix in them, since everyone would eat them, but really wanted to put something with the Dora theme-star cookies...no luck in finding them here. Can anyone think of something? I was wondering if they sold individually packaged Dora cookies instead of the whole big box.
*The kids will have their own party bags so the cups are to have more adult like edible things, but also something the kids would like.

My dd is crazy for Dora. I haven't seen individually prepackaged cookies (just the box) but you could easily make little cookies using a mini star cookie cutter and store bought (or homemade) cookie dough.

I baked BIG star cookies and let the kids decorate them during the party with icing and various types of toppings.

Thank you poohkinandpiglet for the that idea. I may have the kids do that. What type of icing do you suggest?

I used vanilla Betty Crocker frosting from the can and tinted it several "Dora" colors- hot pink, orange, lime green, blue
It was a messy activity but the kids loved it!

Not too long ago, I saw Wilton sprinkles in Dora shapes. Look for them at Michael's, Target or your local cake decorating shop. Or just buy any type of colorful sprinkles.

Also, if you go to www.google.com and search on:

The Nick Jr site has some ideas too. I made the dora backpack cake for my 3 year old's birthday. Have fun...

The Dora color frosting sounds like fun-will really think of that one. I hope I can find the Dora sprinkles here.

Maybe my friend can make the Dora cake if I can't find one cause I am not that talented in baking.

I will check out Nick Jr. Thanks.
