I was lucky enough to go see the Alice in Wonderland Movie the day after it came out in theaters.  My niece actually had an Alice in Wonderland Movie Birthday Party and we all went to the movies. I really liked the way Tim Burton put it all together in only the way he can. I also really enjoyed Johnny Depp playing the Mad Hatter – he seems to be really good at playing those crazy roles lately. Anyway I wanted to put together some creative party game ideas for those who will be having an Alice in Wonderland Birthday Party now that I have seen the movie and have been refreshed on the story. I came up with ideas with based on the New Movie, The Original Disney Movie and also the 1985 Through the Looking Glass version.

So here are some Alice in Wonderland Party Game Ideas for you:

Flamingo Croquet -  That Queen of Hearts loves her game of croquet,  but her mallet is not just any croquet mallet – it is a Flamingo. So set up a fun game of croquet for the kids or just let them see who can hit a ball the furthest using one of these Plastic Flamingos – upside down of course.

Make sure when you buy your Flamingo it is standing upright, then just bend the wire legs closer together so the kids can get a better handle on it. Also make sure whatever ball you use is not too hard since the Flamingos are plastic and light weight. Or of course you can always purchase a Plush Hedgehog to use since that is what the Queen prefers (although hers is real-ewwww).

Mad Hatter Hat Toss – The Mad Hatter is very good at tossing his hat just where he needs it to land. So to play off of this you can play a game of Mad Hatter Hat Toss with the kids and see if they have good aim as well.

First you will need a Mad Hatter Hat. Then one at a time have the kids toss the hat and mark each one where it falls and let all the kids have a turn and see who can toss it the furthest. Now you can also make numbers on the ground and see if anyone can aim to get the hat on one.

Sugar Cubes & Tea Cups  - The Mad Rabbit (Mad March Hare) likes to try and toss Sugar Cubes into everyone’s Tea Cups in addition to throwing things.  So playing off the Sugar Cubes you can purchase an inexpensive Toy Tea Set (maybe you even have one in your house already) and get a nice big box of Sugar Cubes.  Give each child a set amount of Sugar Cubes and one at a time have them stand at a set distance from your Tea Set. Have all four Tea Cups set up and the Tea Pot as well with the top off. Then they have to try and get their Sugar Cubes into the Tea Cups. If they get one in the Tea Pot – well that is a BONUS.

Another variation is to work in teams – Have one child hold a Tea Cup and another child has some Sugar Cubes and plays the Mad Rabbit. Have them stand a distance apart and on go the child with Sugar Cubes tosses them to their partner who has to try and catch the Sugar Cube in their Tea Cup. Make sure they each have a turn in the different roles. You can even kick it up a notch and get some Rabbit Ears for the ones who are playing the part of the Mad Rabbit to wear.

Build up your Army – The Red Queen/Queen of Hearts has an Army of Playing Cards.  To play off this you can break your party guests into teams. Give each team a deck or two of  Playing Cards and a level stable surface. Give them a set amount of time to build a Tower of Cards (Build up their Army). When the timer goes off which ever team has the most cards standing wins.

Now to be fair to those who may have never built a Tower of Cards before – let them have some time to practice. Show them how it is done. I would not recommend this game to the very young since it requires some amount of patience to do.

Pin the Eye on Bandersnatch – So in the movie the Mouse takes one of the Bandersnatch’s Eyes as it was chasing Alice. Ok that part was kinda gross, but kids like gross.  Then Alice returns its eye when she was in need of the Sword it was guarding. So I Thought you can play off of that by creating a Pin the Eye on Bandersnatch Game.  To do that you can find a picture of Bandersnatch and print it out – they are not easy to find though. So you can actually just get some poster board and draw one yourself – just have fun with it, you do not need to be perfect. It is not the most attractive creature anyway.

Then when drawing its eyes make one black. Then cut out some eyes that would fit in the eye space. Then play the game as you would Pin the Tail on the Donkey – just in this case it is Pin the Eye on the Bandersnatch.

Another Variations could be to take a photo of Cheshire the Cat and play Pin the Smile on Cheshire or even Pin the Hat on the Mad Hatter.

Find Cheshire Cat – So if you know the story you know that Cheshire Cat can disappear and reappear. So an easy game for the kids is to play Find Cheshire using a Cheshire Cat Plush or you can just as easily print up a picture of him. Then hide him somewhere in the room the party is in or outside and see who will be able to find him first. If you are printing photos of him to hide – then do a bunch and hide him all over and see who can find the most.

TweedleDee & TweedleDum Races – These boys are very funny and can never agree on anything.  So why not have some fun and pair up your party guests for some 3 legged racing fun. All you need to do is stand 2 guests side by side then tie together their legs in the middle.  Then on go let all the pairs race against each other. Add in some fun obstacles so they have to work together and see which team can communicate the best.

What is my Name? – Prior to the party make up name tags for each party guest, BUT write their name backwards – it is a Mad World ya know.  As each guest arrives have them stick on their name tag. In addition to that give each guest a Necklace with an old fashioned Skeleton Key hanging from it – this will be part of the game. Now you can either find some Old Keys on EBay or you can trace a Skeleton Key Shape like the one pictured on Heavy Card Stock or Foam Sheet, Cut Out, Hole Punch and add string to make a necklace for each guest.

Once all the guests arrive explain the rules. Each guest must call each other by the name on their tags – their backwards name.  Example – my name is Nicole – Backwards it is elocin.  If one of the guests calls another by their real name then they get to take their key and wear it.  At the end of the party the guest with the most keys wins a prize.

Red Roses – The Red Queen/Queen of Hearts obviously loves the color Red and that is also the way she likes her roses. She is not happy when some of her roses are White. So to play on this you can have the kids race to paint the White Roses Red and see who does it the quickest and does the best job. Now I am not a fan of paint at a party – it is just way to messy, but if you are Ok with that then get some White Silk Roses and Red Paint and let the kids paint the Silk Rose.  Or you can print out a Picture of a Rose and let the kids pretend they are painting, but with mess free Red Crayons.

Tea Cup Races – This game is best played outside. What you want to do is split the guests into two teams depending on how many you have – if you have a lot then break it into more teams. You will need one Tea Cup for each team, a Bucket filled with water and either empty Buckets or Teapots. What you want to do is place an Empty Teapot or Bucket at one end opposite of where the teams will start the race – make sure each holds the same amount of water or mark them – they should all be the same if possible. Place them at one end of the yard a nice distance away . Now on the end where the race will begin have a large Bucket filled with water – make sure it is equal distance for each team to get to or you can have one for each team.  Line up the teams – first in line has the Tea Cup. On go each guest with the Tea Cup must fill their cup and race to the empty Bucket or Teapot trying not to spill too much water out. Then they will dump it into the Bucket or Teapot and run back to hand off the Tea Cup to the next in their line and the game continues until one team fills their Bucket or Teapot all the way.

Don’t be Late Scavenger Hunt – Kids love Scavenger Hunts and I just don’t think they are done enough at parties.  They are so much fun and I always loved to do them as a child. So why not plan one for this party – it is very easy to do and there are many ways it can be done. First you must decide where you will do it – Will it be in your Neighborhood or some like to do them at the Mall. Once you decide that – then decide if you will have them gather the actual items or they can take a photo of the items using a Digital Camera or Polaroid (Obviously you will need a camera for each team).

Then you need to create a Check List of items for each team on what they need to collect;  For Example – A Q-Tip, One Sock, A Birthday Candle, Toilet Paper Roll, A 2003 Penny (or a Penny with the year the birthday child was born) etc… Then you may want to add on some not so easy items like – Red Lipstick, Black Shoelace etc… If you are doing your hunt in a mall then adjust the items;  For Example – Blue Hanger, Business Card with the name John, Purple String etc…

Set an amount of points for each item – like basic items are worth 5 Points each and harder to find items are 10 Points each. Then decide on your time limit for the hunt and provide each team a Watch or Stop Watch on a Necklace one of them will wear.  White Rabbit always says ” Don’t be Late, Don’t be Late.”  So for every 5 minutes a Team is late they lose 5 Points.

NOTE: If the kids are young make sure to have each team accompanied by an adult. Make sure the kids know to use their manners and be polite – The White Queen would like that.  And be sure to lay out all the rules before the teams start the hunt. Like they cannot go to the same place a team has already been. Have fun with it !!!

Red Queen Says – The Red Queen/Queen of Hearts can be so demanding and you must follow what she says or “Off with your Head.” Well you will not be beheading any of your guests at the party, but they will have to follow orders of the guest who gets to play the Red Queen. Play this game just as you would Simon Says. Have one child be the Red Queen (Birthday Child gets to start) and have them come up with what they want the guests to do. Example; Hop on one foot, Jump in place 2 times etc… Of course if they give a command and don’t say Red Queen says and a guest does it anyway – they are out of the game. Continue until there is one left and then the winner then gets to play the Red Queen.

To make it a bit more fun purchase the Red Queen Wig and have them make a Red Lipstick Heart on their lips and be sure to have your cameras handy.

Help Alice find her way back to the Rabbit Hole -  Poor Alice is lost in Wonderland, but how does she find her way back to the Rabbit Hole? I came across this great FREE Printable Alice in Wonderland Maze that the kids can do to see how can help her find her way there.

This maze is great and it features fun graphics of Alice and the other characters from the Alice in Wonderland Movie. You start at the Rabbit Hole and end back at the door Alice came through, but finding the right path is not as easy as it looks. Print up a maze for each of your party guests and on go see who will be the one to help Alice find her way back to the door the quickest and taking the correct path to get her there.

No need to worry if you cannot help her cause there is an Answer Key to show you the right way.  My suggestion is have the Answer Key printed up as well so you can make sure the party guest who thinks they have it is correct. Did I mention this is FREE? I love FREE.

Slay the Jabberwocky – The Jabberwocky is the Dragon that is controlled by the Red Queen and the one Alice must slay.  So why not have a Dragon Pinata – or shall we say a Jabberwocky the kids must slay with their Sword (Broom Stick or Bat). So which guest will be the one to take out the Jabberwocky? And when they do there will be some big prizes waiting for them inside.

Ebay is good place to find some good Alice in Wonderland Pinata Fillers there is a mix of New Movie & Old Movie Merchandise and then mix in some Fun Candies.

Catch White Rabbit – White Rabbit is always running – so play a game of tag to play off of that. Choose a party guest who will be White Rabbit. Lets pretend White Rabbit is trying to get back to his Rabbit Hole and he must be caught before he gets there. Make a large Brown Circle from some Poster Board to represent the Rabbit Hole and place some where in your playing area. This will be where the White Rabbit must get to without being caught to be safe. Have the guest playing White Rabbit stand in front of all your guests ready to run. On go the White Rabbit must run and try and get to the Rabbit Hole without being tagged by one of the other guests. If the White Rabbit touches the Rabbit Hole without being tagged he is safe and gets to play the White Rabbit again. If he gets tagged before making it then the guest who tagged  him is now the White Rabbit.

Again to make it more fun have the Guest playing the White Rabbit swear Rabbit Ears, A Tail and even a Jumbo Pocket Watch Necklace for added fun.

Twinkle Twinkle Little ? -  You hear Twinkle Twinkle Little Star at the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, but it is never quite as we know it. There is always a play on the word Star and then a rhyming sentence to that which comes next.  So what you can do is to take some words and write them down on a piece of paper and stick in a hat. Then one at a time have the party guests choose a word. Then using that word – lets say it is ‘Cat”  they have to come up with their rhyme.  So with Cat it could be something like; Twinkle Twinkle Little Cat, Why are you hiding in the Mad Hatter’s Hat.  Kids are always good at coming up with some crazy things – so get ready to laugh.

Musical Tea Party -  Poor Alice she sits down at the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party and she really likes Tea, but she never seems to be able to drink it. Lets play off of that and have a Musical Tea Party. This can get messy so I would play this outside since water will be involved – or you can play without the water, but messy is fun.  If  you have a table then have everyone sit at the table – if not set up a blanket on the grass.  Now if you have plastic Tea Cups then that would be great – make sure to give one to each guest. If not then just use some plastic cups and pretend.  Mark one of the cups on the bottom with a marker or sticker – this way no one can really see it. Then fill everyone’s cup with water (That is their Tea).

Then start some music – Alice in Wonderland Music is always a good choice. When the music starts the kids must pass their Tea Cups by passing theirs and grabbing another. When the music stops have the kids look on the bottom of the cup – if it is marked they must leave the Tea Party. Now make sure to take away one unmarked cup and take your Teapot filled with water and fill those Tea Cups back up and continue until you have a winner. To make things a bit Madder at this Tea Party at any time have the kids switch directions in which they are passing their cups !!!! Tell the kids no cheating and looking at the bottom of the cup.

Catepillar’s Bubble Blowing Contest – We all know that the Caterpillar (Absolem) likes to smoke his Hookah, but I am thinking this is not something you want to introduce to the kids. Being he is always blowing his smoke around we could play off of that, but in a healthier way.  The kids can have a Bubble Blowing Contest using Bubble Gum to see who can blow the best and biggest Bubble.  So get some good Bubble Gum – this is the time you forget about that sugarless stuff and go for the real Bubble Blowing Gum like Bubble Yum & Bubblicious – lame gum brings lame bubbles. Then also have a ruler handy to get a better idea on Bubble size if you need to compare.

Let the kids have some practice runs and then when ready on go let the Bubble Blowing Begin  – give them maybe a minute to make their very best Bubbles.  make sure to have those cameras for some funny pictures of the fun.

Funderwhack Dance Contest – In the New Alice in Wonderland Movie the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) has a Happy Dance which they call the Funderwhack. It is a Funky Crazy Dance he does at the end of the movie. So have some fun and let the kids see who can do the best Funderwhacking. Of course you will need some music to do your Funderwhack to and nothing would be better than the Alice in Wonderland Movie Soundtrack. So get those kids dancing and having some fun.

You can have them all dance to the music together or have them dance one at a time with the other kids as their audience. You can even give them a Mad Hatter Hat to wear as they do their Funderwhacking.

Giant Games – Just for some extra fun and to play off when Alice is very small – you can have the kids play some Giant Games. I did a post on Giant Lawn Games that feature lots of Giant Over Sized Games like Chess,  Snakes & Ladders, Scrabble etc… You can also take a look at the Jumbo Inflatable Bowling Game which can be lots of fun too.

Now if you are going to do these type of games then How about playing a card game, but with a Jumbo Set of Playing Cards.

I hope I was able to give you some fun creative Alice in Wonderland Party Game Ideas you can use for your party. If you have any games you have played or game ideas you would like to share with my readers – just leave them in comments or contact me and I would be happy to add them on to the list.

So my niece wanted an Alice in Wonderland Birthday Party and lucky for her Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland Movie was released in theaters at the perfect time. So my sister in law decided she would invite some of her friends and take them to the theater to see the movie. We happened to see it the second day it was out – so it was very exciting to all the girls.  Ok it was exciting for me as well – I was really looking forward to it being I am a fan of Tim Burton Movies and Johnny Depp as well. In addition to the girls the rest of the family went to see it as well – so we ended up with almost 2 rows in the theater just for us.

Anyway I wanted to share with you some details of her party to maybe help you in planning your Alice in Wonderland Movie Party.

So lets start off with the invitations. This is something I took on for my sister in law being this is what I do. So what I did was I created an Alice in Wonderland Ticket Style Invitation. I created them myself  using Photoshop, but I made it print out Giant since Alice is always shrinking – I thought it would be more fun that way. They were also printed on Photo Paper to give them that nice sheen. The kids really liked them too. No need to worry if you cannot create them yourself because you can also buy the ticket style invitations from sellers on EBay and if you chose the print from home option you can just print them out large like I did or the normal size which I believe is like 2″ x 6″. You can visit my post here for invites: Alice in Wonderland Party Invitations.

My sister in law decided to have the kids all meet at her house prior to the movie to have lunch. So the kids ate a simple lunch she cooked; some Chicken Nuggets & French Fries and other various snacks. This way they would have nice fully bellies before we left to see the movie.

The Table setting was simple, but yet perfect for the party theme. She had a Black Table Cover and used Solid Red Plates, Utensils & Napkins.  She sprinkled Metallic
Red Heart Confetti on the Table and took some Playing Cards she had laying around and attached one to each chair. There were also plastic cups that had playing card symbols on them and streamers that hung from the ceiling with the same.  It was Simple, Perfect and Budget Friendly.

Below you will see some party supplies that are very similar in style and you can mix and match any of the items with solid colors.

Queen of Hearts Deluxe Birthday Box

I also created Alice in Wonderland VIP Passes for the girls the same way I did the invitations – in Photoshop.  I figured the girls would love to wear these to the movie and it would make them feel extra special. It was also part of their party favor they got to keep and take home. All I did was purchase some Heavy Duty Badge Holders that held cards up to 4″ x 3″ and some Lanyards to attach to them. I designed and printed up my passes – stuck them into the holders and they looked great.

When the girls arrived we gave them each one to wear and they were so excited about them.  It really did make them feel extra special and the girls even wore them to school on Monday to show them off to their friends.  They are great keepsakes from the party. Again no need to worry you can purchase Alice in Wonderland VIP Passes on Ebay if you are unable to make them yourself like I did and they can be personalized with anything you would like on them.

The girls are ready to go see the movie. Now let me give you some tips to save some money when you are bringing a group of kids to the movies.  First off set your party budget – movies are expensive and even more so when they are in 3-D.  My niece picked out only her closest friends to come to her party vs. lets say a party of 12.  So you need to factor in the cost of the tickets.

Now what about Popcorn, Snacks & Drinks??? Ok so here we got a bit sneaky (sorry Movie Theater but we all have to pinch pennies when we can). My sister in law purchased the large popcorn which comes with FREE refills and we then gave each girl a Popcorn Container we brought from home. We filled all their cups and filled the bag one more time for extra. For drinks – well we packed our own water and got a couple sodas for those who wanted it.  Then my sister in law packed up baggies of M&M’s prior to the movie and handed them out to the girls. By doing this it saved quite a bit of money and remember the girls were all fed lunch before hand too. So see we did buy Popcorn & Drinks – just not 100’s of dollars worth.

The movie I thought was really good and the kids loved it and stayed interested the entire time. The 3-D was the best part I think and done really well. So after the Movie  my sister in law took the girls back to her house.  Due to time restraints we did not play any games and it happened to be a really nice day out so the kids had some time for free play and took advantage of a sunny warm day which we had not seen in some time.

BUT I am happy to say that I just created a post with a very long list of Alice in Wonderland Party Games based off all the movies. So if you are in need of party game ideas then you are going to love this – they are all there for you.

So my niece opened all her presents and then the kids had cupcakes.  My sister in law frosted some cupcakes with Vanilla Frosting and added some Red Sugar Sprinkles and Red Candy Hearts on top, She did the same with the Chocolate Frosted ones just with less Candy Hearts.  I made the Alice in Wonderland Cupcake Toppers for her using photos I printed from the movie.  I cut them out and attached some long Craft Sticks to the back and stuck them into the cupcakes.

Cupcake Toppers are not at all hard to make and they just added a touch to the party theme. I used heavy Card Stock Paper to print them out and I also had them laminated so the kids could keep them if they wanted to.  If you would like a copy of the cupcake toppers I created just contact me and I would be happy to send it to you to use – There are 9 of them.

Of course if you do not feel like getting crafty you can find many Alice in Wonderland Cupcake Toppers on EBay that you can have personalized and also some that are edible. So you do have many choices.  If you are looking for cake ideas you can visit my page I made all about Alice in Wonderland Birthday Cakes for ideas. I like cupcakes – no cutting involved and  the kids love them too.

Now lets move on to my favorite part – The Alice in Wonderland Party Favors.  Of course I took this one on for the party too.  So I did some research to come up with my final idea for the favors.  I like Party Favors that are useful and simple, not bags of junk and candy. So this is what I created and I will show you how you can do it as well. Not only is it easy, but it is BUDGET FRIENDLY which is always the best part.  Each Child went home with a Drink, 2 Cookies, an Alice in Wonderland Book, an Alice in Wonderland Bookmark and the VIP Passes I made.

So here is what I did:

First I printed up Tags I would use for the favors – I used a nice Metallic Blue Paper and printed up the words – Eat Me, Drink Me & Read Me. I had the paper Laminated to make them sturdier. I then cut them out and hole punched the ends.

Then I baked some Sugar Cookies and then Decorated them with Pink Colored Icing and Pink Sparkle Icing then I added the words “Eat Me”‘ to them. You can make your cookies to look any way you want – there is no right or wrong.

Now I made 2 cookies for each guest – I made the one that says “Eat Me” and one that had Polka Dots.  I then placed them in a Clear Baggie tied them up with some ribbon and attached the “Eat Me” tag.

These drinks are Kool Aid and the bottle shape is great. I had seen this idea done by someone else and loved it. So I took some ribbon and added it to the top of the bottles with the “Drink Me” Tag attached.

I then created my own Alice in Wonderland Bookmarks using Photoshop and printed them out and had them laminated to make them more sturdy.

I then hole punched them at the top added some ribbon and attached the “Read Me” Tag. I wanted the Read Me Tag to stick up so when the book mark is in the book it hangs over. Then I strung a Star Bead onto the ribbon just to give it a little something else – the Bead Sparkles. They came out so cute.

You can purchase Alice in Wonderland Bookmarks on EBay where they have a nice assortment to choose from if you are not feeling crafty.

Then my sister in law picked out an Alice in Wonderland Book by Lewis Carroll for each of the girls.  There are so many versions of Alice in Wonderland and not all the kids have read the books – so it was a great choice for a party favor based on this theme. The other great thing is that there is a book for every age group and reading level. See how the Bookmark fits in the book.  The gift bag was just a simple Black Bag with Red Tissue Paper and had a playing card glued on the front and one on the back to match the decorations – so simple and so perfect.

So the kids all went home with a fun Party Favor filled with a Snack, Drink and a Great Book. It was the perfect ending and great to know the kids will be reading a true classic and maybe dreaming up their own Wonderland.

So Happy Birthday to my niece who had yet another Birthday Party she will remember – even if we were all a bit Mad.

Also if you are interested in any of the items I made; Cupcake Toppers, Bookmarks or Tags let me know and I would be happy to send you my templates so you can make them yourself – just contact me.

He is a pull string pinata so if the kids are careful when pulling and do not destroy it you can re-tape the bottom and your child can keep it in their rooms for decoration.

Also available is this Buzz Lightyear Pinata shaped like a Space Ship which is another great choice. This pinata is 15 1/2 ” x 12″ x 4″. It is also a pull string style.

You can also find a nice variety of other Toy Story Pinatas on Ebay that have been custom made. Like the one you see pictured to your left from Brooklyn Party Supply.  They other feature some of the other characters from the movie including Woody.

You can also take a look on Ebay for lots of great ideas on what to fill your pinata with. They have so many choices and the prices are great. Take a look; Toy Story Party Pinata Fillers. So forget all the candy when you can find lots of fun Toy Story Items the kids will love.

I recently came across these Lollipop Party Invitations and thought they are absolutely adorable and had to share of course.  These invitations are not actually Lollipops. but are made to look like them with heavy card stock paper. They have a fun saying with all your party information on the front with a fun Lollipop Colored Swirl in the background, they come on a stick with a bow and can be placed in an envelope for mailing or handing out. Some sellers of these will even wrap the Lollipop Invitation in clear cello for an added touch.  There are many designs and styles of Lollipop Invites and I will share some of my favorites here. This is a very fun and unique way to invite someone to your party – or should I say SWEET way…

The Lollipop Invitations you see pictured in the upper left come from Etsy Seller: Cherry Blossom Way.  In addition to the Lollipop Invitations you can also get coordinating Lollipop Cupcake Toppers to match with sayings like : “Our Little Sweetie is 2″. How cute is that?

Pink Hippo Boutique on Etsy offers these Minnie Mouse or Mickey Mouse Lollipop Party Invitations that are wonderful and so different.  They also have all the coordinating party supplies to go along with them like the Cupcake Toppers, Banners and more.

Paper Party Design Co on Etsy offers a large variety of Lollipop Party Invitations for lots of party themes. To name just a few you will find Bowling, Rocket, Rollerskating, Ballerina, Princess, Mad Hatter, Pirates, Superman and so many more. Of course you will also find coordinating party items in their shop as well.

So can you make your own Lollipop Invitations? – YES of course you can if you are creative.  You can create them from card stock like the ones above or you can actually buy some fun Lollipops and attach your Party Information to the front of the Lollipop or even make a tag that hangs off the Lollipop Sticks and has all your party information written on it. You can even create some Lollipop Cookies and do the same thing. The limit is your imagination of course.

Our friends at The Original World of Pinatas have done it again. They have brought us an Alice in Wonderland Pinata when there are no others out there. This pinata is Handmade and Photos are printed on High Quality Paper. This pinata measures approx. 24″ x 17″ and comes strings to convert to a pull string pinata or it can be used as a traditional Hit and Smash – the one I like – lol. It can also be personalized with your child’s name as well.

This pinata features the original Alice in Wonderland artwork, but if you are looking for artwork from the New Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland Movie you can opt to chose their Custom Pinata and send them some photos that you would like to have added and they will do it for you.

Let me also add that The Original World of  Pinatas carries more Alice in Wonderland items to match this pinata like Personalized Alice in Wonderland Posters,  Take out Favor Boxes, CD-R – DVD Party Favors, Alice in Wonderland Cupcake Picks and more. So be sure to brose through all their goodies.
