Doctor Who Themed Party

Hi,
My daughter is Dr Who mad and we are planning a Dr Who/Alien themed party for her 8th Birthday. Does anyone have any bright ideas/suggestions for themed food and games?
Many thanks in advance.

Tardis birthday cake? I saw one recently and it looked really good. It was made from a pile of square cakes stacked up and covered with blue coloured ready-to-roll icing. The details were cut out of icing or iced on wth black royal icing, and the 'light' on top was a blue gobstopper. It looked great!

Looks great but may be too complicated for younger kids - you could adapt it?

I made a Tardis cake for my DS11 by baking the cake in a bread loaf tin and decorating as above:)

For the less adventurous, ASDA sell a ready made Tardis cake, should think it costs a small fortune, though!!

Blind Cybermans Bluff (painted box to look like cyberman rather than a blindfold)

Too far for a day out in Cardiff to techniquest and the Dr Who Exhibition? Cardiff is where the new Dr Who is filmed.

Hmm, on second thoughts this isn't a money saving suggesting, quite the opposite.

dalek pinata(?sp). like one of those donkeys you whack to get sweets/favors, but in the shape of a dalek- papermache and paint.

Musical statues to the Dr Who theme

Paint/colour an ailen mask

A Dr Who quiz

Name that Ailen : slowy describe various Dr Who "baddies", first ot jump in & identify each gets it right, divide into teams first & have a team prize?

The only food I can think of which regularly occurs in the programme is chips (lol) so this isn't much help, think I'd just put out some paltes of cut up pizza followed by a tardis cake.

HTH;)

Hi,

Sorry to hijack the thread but my son loves doctor who (cybermen and daleks in particular) and we are going to do him a little doctor who themed party for his 4th birthday in a few weeks...anyone know anywhere that sells dr who party things like table covers plates cups ect...

If it's any use to you weve found some little cake toppers on ebay for £1.80 and 80p postage.
