For a young kid, Barney is a favorite dinosaur character. And his purple color is easy to match to party supplies and favors. A Barney Hero Theme Party might be just the thing to cheer up any small child.

There are also other characters that children love from the PBS series, such as BJ and Little Bop. And because there are so many games that can be played, the kids will never have a boring time at this Barney party. There are coloring games, and games where the children guess the shapes and colors of items.

You can include these games in some of the food items served at the party. For a delicious and nutritious party snack, cut a watermelon so that other items that be stuck into it for display. This will end up to be a sort of fruit and vegetable bouquet arrangement. Take sticks of celery and carrot sticks and push one end into the watermelon. You can also arrange various fruits on skewers, such as purple grapes, green grapes, cherries, and pineapple chunks. Even small squares of the watermelon and other melons, such as cantaloupe and honey dew, can be placed on skewers to be part of the arrangement.

A fun game might be that before the child eats it, he must tell the rest of the children what color the fruit or vegetable is.

To make things interesting, place some celery sticks into a jar or small glass with food coloring in the bottom of it. The celery will drink up the odd color and look very different from the other stalks in the arrangement. The kids will surely want to try a purple “Barney” celery stalk by mixing blue and red food coloring to the jar.

Other food items that can be placed in the arrangement are pretzel sticks, bread sticks, and maybe chocolate covered pretzel sticks.
