Greg for a Wiggly Good Time

Greg’s Yellow Cheese Squares
Cube
cheddar cheese and spear with colorful toothpicks. Serve with a
variety of crackers in different shapes and sizes.
Murray’s
Red Fruit Kabobs
Select
a variety of red fruits (watermelon, red apples, strawberries,
etc.). Cut the melon in chunks and slice the apples into bite-size
pieces. Spear the fruit on skewers and remove the sharp, pointed end
for safety. Stick skewers in a melon half for fun, and display in
the center of your tray.

Jeff’s Purple Pleasers
Tint
softened cream cheese purple with food coloring. Spread it on
slices of thin ham and roll them up. Cut rolls into 1-1/2”
lengths. Spear with toothpicks to hold them together.
Dorothy Dinosaur’s Carrot Roses
Peel the outer layer of
a carrot and discard. Continue peeling, making peels of assorted
lengths and thicknesses. (Thin peels are easier to curl.) Assemble
roses by arranging several peels inside one another, placing the
larger ones on the outside. Gradually stack the peels in a rounded
shape, with shortest, curliest peels on top. Spear an olive on a
toothpick into the middle of your rose to hold it together.

Wag’s Doggone Silly Sandwiches
Your guests will
giggle when they see these snacks. Make your child’s favorite
sandwiches and cut them into dog bone shapes using a cookie
cutter.
Choose anything your child likes and add it to the tray as well.
The options are endless!
Henry’s Vegetable Octopus
Using long carrot
peels from the previous snack, string olives along the peels and
make eight octopus legs. Use a tomato as the body and place the
legs around it to form an octopus!
Anthony’s Blue Chips and Salsa
Serve blue corn
ships with salsa, guacamole and/or sour cream. For fun, tint the
sour cream blue if you wish.
Captain
Feathersword’s Celery Sticks
Fill stalks with
peanut butter. Keep feathery ends for decoration.
**Don't forget to make your Fruit Salad! (Yummy! Yummy!)

FUN AND GAMES |
Face Painting
Make your guests feel
special with a bit of face paint! As each child arrives, decorate his or her
cheeks with bright Wiggles’ colors: blue for Anthony, yellow for Greg, red for
Murray and purple for Jeff. For more fun, enlist an artistic parent or older
sibling to draw the face of Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, Henry the
Octopus or Captain Feathersword.

Musical Chairs Sing Along
Get your guests into the Wiggles spirit with this
enhanced version of the game “musical chairs.” To begin, play a
Wiggles album and encourage the kids to sing along to the music and
dance if they wish.
Then, form a circle of chairs with one chair for
each player. With the music playing, tell the kids to walk around
the circle in the same direction. Before you stop the music, remove
one chair from the circle.
When the music stops, players must sit down in a
chair. The player left without a chair is out. Continue the game,
removing a chair each round until there is only one chair left.
Encourage children who are out to sing and dance to the music. Let
them help you decide when to start and stop the music as well.
Continue until there is only one child left. Let
the winner control the music in the next game! |

Balloon
Dance
Attach an inflated balloon to the ankle of each player. Put on a Wiggles
CD to get everyone dancing and singing. Each child tries to protect his or
her own balloon while trying to pop the other dancers’ balloons. Award the
final dancer with a small prize.

For variety, play this classic
party game with one of your child’s toys, such as a stuffed animal (one of
the mini Wiggles stuffed toys out now would be perfect or there is an actual
Wiggles hot potato) While players toss the toy around, a chosen player, with
eyes closed, shouts “wiggles” at random. The player caught holding the toy
is out. The game continues until there is only one player left. This can
also be done by playing a Wiggles CD and when the song is stopped the one
holding the hot potato is out. |
