How to Celebrate Your Beanie Boo’s Birthday: Tips from Gatsby

by Gatsby

Everybody loves celebrating their birthday and we Beanie Boos are no different. Just recently, I went to my friend Firecracker’s birthday and had so much fun. I thought it might be helpful to let owners know how we like to celebrate. Here are some tips to make our birthdays extra special.

1. Don’t Forget our Birthday

If you don’t know your Beanie Boo’s birthday, use our Birthday guide to find out when it is: Beanie Boo Birthday Guide. There is no excuse for forgetting our birthday. It comes on our tag for a reason!

2. We love games

Here are some great game ideas for you to play with your Beanies, or to let them play with each other:

Pin the Tail on the Beanie Boo

The name should say it all. You just need a drawing of a Beanie Boo, a blindfold (a ribbon will do) and something sticky. If you don’t want to draw out a Beanie Boo, you can print a nice picture from our Beanie Boo coloring pages section. Remember: don’t peak! First person to get the tail in the right spot wins.

Hide and Seek

We love to play hide and seek. Sometimes, we are playing hide and seek when you can’t find us.

Sneaky Statues

In this game, everyone pretends that they are a statue and has to stand absolutely still. One person or stuffed animal is “it” and has to walk around and try to catch one of the statues moving. If a statue is caught moving, the statue becomes it. Beanie Boos are very, very good at standing in one place and not moving for a long time, so don’t expect to win this game.

3. A Birthday is not a Birthday without Birthday Cake

What’s the best part of a birthday party?  It’s the moment when everybody is gathered around a table, singing happy birthday and waiting for you to make a wish and blow out the candles. If you are going to make a birthday cake for your Beanie Boo, remember that we are not very picky when it comes to ingredients. We’ll eat plastic cake, fabric cake and even mud cakes. If you like cake made of out flour and sugar, that’s fine too. We’ll eat anything.  Just don’t forget to wash off our furry mouths after feeding us.

4. Presents!

A great gift for a Beanie Boo is another Beanie Boo. The more the merrier. If you are going to get us a present, don’t forget to wrap it. That makes it official. We might need some help opening up the gift though as our paws get easily stuck on tape. We don’t like the way that tape feels when it is ripped off of us either.
