Mickey Mouse Birthday Ideas: Treasure Hunt Party

Continued…

The “drum” is a stump where C1 and his Grandpa often go on their walks so they knew right where to go for their next clue. It went on and on like this until they went to 12 different stops and eventually ended up back at the house. The BIG treasure at the end of the hunt was a new balance bike and Mickey Mouse bike helmet. What could be better for a Mickey Mouse birthday than a new bike, right?

What fun ideas for a Mickey Mouse birthday! My child would love these party plans for a treasure hunt, an easy birthday cake and a pizza shaped like Mickey Mouse.

Your treasure hunt can be as long or as short as you desire. The adults on the Mickey Mouse birthday treasure hunt thought they could have used a few less clues, but reported C1 stayed active and engaged the whole time. He loved relaying the entire adventure to me and showing me his map when they returned. With all the time and effort that went into the treasure hunt, I saved all the clues and activities. This way we can easily do it all again in a few years once C1 has forgotten the details and his little brother is old enough to enjoy it too.

What fun ideas for a Mickey Mouse birthday! My child would love these party plans for a treasure hunt, an easy birthday cake and a pizza shaped like Mickey Mouse.

If you’re planning to create your own treasure hunt, here are a few other ideas you could incorporate:

  • At one stop, the birthday boy had to put on Mickey Mouse gardening gloves and hop on one foot to the next location.
  • In another spot, they found empty paper towel rolls and had to look through them to spot a Mickey Mouse birthday balloon hidden at the next location.
  • For one of the other clues, I had used a program like PicMonkey to put words over a large Mickey Mouse picture. (PicMonkey is a free online tool I LOVE for editing graphics. You can upgrade to the “royale” version to get additional premium fonts, embellishments and other goodies.) I printed the image on card stock and then cut it apart. When they got to that location, they found all the pieces in an envelope and had to reassemble it to find out where to go next.
  • Include a few snacks and small treasures that match your theme along the way. By the time C1 got to the big treasure, he had a Mickey Mouse coloring book, Mickey Mouse pajamas and a Mickey Mouse t-shirt, in addition to the bubbles, the small shovel, and Mickey Mouse gloves.

IDEA 3: Mickey Mouse Pizza

After all that activity and fresh air, the treasure hunters were hungry. Pizza is one of C1’s favorite foods. It was really easy to make a Mickey Mouse shaped pizza to celebrate his birthday. Just use a large crust and two personal-sized pizza crusts. On the large crust, you’ll see I used different sized pepperoni slices to create Mickey Mouse shapes too.

IDEA 4: Mickey Mouse Birthday Cake

We capped off the Mickey Mouse birthday celebration with a treasure map cake. I prepared a regular 9 x 13 boxed cake mix. First I covered it with white frosting. Then I mixed a little chocolate with some white frosting to create the tan color for an aged treasure map. I wanted it to look like the treasure map was laying on the cake so I didn’t worry about the edges. Next I used a decorating bag with a small decorating tip to pipe a dashed line on the treasure map. I mixed a little red food coloring with the white frosting to create an X at the end of the map. When I was done, I embellished the cake with a candle, a few Mickey markers and a small figurine of Mickey driving a car. C1 was thrilled!

IDEA 5: Mickey Mouse Birthday Party Supplies

No birthday is complete without having party supplies to help set the theme. I love having special Mickey Mouse paper plates and matching Mickey Mouse Napkins to serve the birthday cake. You can find the Mickey Mouse birthday party supplies we used on Amazon, along with other supplies I mentioned in this post:

      Steph, we’ve done scavenger hunts inside too. It’s just as enjoyable and in some ways there are even more places to hide the clues. Have fun with it!
