Dora has always been a beloved character among both kids and their parents. Between the interesting characters, songs, and adventure, Dora has turned into a wonderful learning tool for kids to pick up Spanish words and phrases and learn the importance of helping others. Now, with the all-new series, DORA, brand new adventures await! Check out the ideas below to throw a fabulous Dora birthday party for your child that incorporates Dora's new look and her favorite friends like Boots, Swiper, Benny, Map, and others!

 

To set the stage for your Dora party, customize online Dora invitations! To start, browse gorgeous designs that include Dora and her rainforest pals (you can even upload your favorite picture of the birthday kid to this Dora Photo invitation!). Once you pick your favorite Dora birthday invitation, add all the information your guests need to know - location, date, time, and any other important details. Next, send these adorable Dora birthday invitations via email or text and easily track RSVPs online. 

Set up a lovely rainforest setting with green balloons, streamers, and real or fake plants. Decorate with pops of vibrant colors like orange, purple, and pink banners, streamers, and balloons. Also, be sure to incoprorate plenty of butterflies and flowers throughout your party space. Finally, signs with phrases in Spanish are an excellent finishing touch (did you know that "selva tropical" is Spanish for "rainforest"?).

Plan a menu that reflects Dora's Hispanic culture. For the main course, set up Tico’s Taco Station, named after Dora's favorite squirrel friend! If the guests are a little bit older, they can make their own tacos using ground chicken and beef and other fixings like tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, and salsa. For younger children, serve preassembled soft tacos on a plate and cinch them closed with colorful clothes pins so they don't fall apart in little hands!
 

Dora Scavenger Hunt: Set up a scavenger hunt in your backyard or around your house. Create a Dora map by rolling up sheets of paper with a face on the outside. On the inside, include various locations for the kids to go to and collect a prize. Hide little toys or items like Dora’s purple backpack, Benny the Bull, Isa the Iguana, and other Dora characters. If the kids run into Swiper the Fox along the way, then they must say “Swiper, no swiping!” three times before he steals one of the items that they have found in their scavenger hunt. Also try to incorporate Spanish words where you can in the hunt!

Party Favors: Friendship bracelets make excellent party favors for your child’s Dora birthday party! Set up a bracelet-making station with bright and colorful beads in different shapes like flowers, hearts, and butterflies. Children can try to create bracelets that look like the one Dora wears, or make something completely unique and their own!
