Magic Tree House Birthday Party

[PenguinWaiters]

My DD is having her 6th birthday party next month and Magic Tree House is the theme. She and I have been talking about what to do during the party. Our general idea is to have one area set up as the "tree house" and that guests will go there between activities. Then, each activity will be themed to a particular Magic Tree House book.

So, I am looking for some more decorating, activities and/or food ideas from this creative group. So far, we talked about:

Making bookmarks - perhaps for Night of the Ninjas doing bookmarks for everyone with their name written in Japanese

Making individual volcanos for Vacation Under the Volcano

We were also thinking of a kind of scavenger hunt/code breaking activity that woud run in each of these - interpreting Morse Code for Tonight on the Titanic, following a treasure map for Pirates Past Noon, etc...

Anyway, just looking to see if there are any other creative ideas out there.

Thanks!

I can't remember all the books, but if there is a book that has to do with fishing, you could put a sheet up a few feet in a doorway. On one side is the "fisherman" who goes fishing over the other side of the sheet. You could decorate it to look like water if you want. On the other side of the sheet is someone who hooks small presents or gag gifts onto the hook (the hook can be a clip of some sort) Gag gifts can be a banana peel, a pair of large men's underwear, or whatever else you can dream up. Give them each three tries to get a prize. When they feel a "tug" on the line, they pull it up. Two gag gifts and a prize.

If you know the books well enough, maybe you can find one that works with the fishing theme.
