For my kids' birthdays...
They get a combined birthday party (hey, it's not my fault they chose to all be born in April to a father who's a tax accountant...
) This year, since they're all into The Wiggles, we're doing a theme party along those lines.
I am getting stuff together for goody bags, and thought I'd throw in a little page on ERF (my will-be one year old! She's 27 lbs. right now, and has another month to go) and EH (my will-be 5 year old is 37 lbs. and I think my will-be 3 year old is a pound or two heavier; may hit 40 by her birthday.) I'm planning to put pictures of them happy in their car seats on there with a little blurb about ERF, EH, projectiles, common misuse, etc., with some resources to check out if they're interested in learning more (KDM, where to get a seat check, etc.) I'm not lacking on resources or anything, don't really need help with that part.
Here's my question: how would you tie it in with the Wiggles theme?
The only thing I can think of so far is, for the lead-in, "When the Wiggles ride in the Big Red Car, they buckle up! We buckle up safely in the car, too!" But that's kind of lame to my eyes/ears. Anyone know how to put it more succinctly?
And what about visuals? I don't want to use copyrighted materials, of course. Is taking the pictures in their car seats with them wearing their Wiggles t-shirts (yes, they all have them) enough of a visual tie-in? Or should I maybe do some kind of tie-in with the colors instead, like a border in red, blue, yellow, and purple?
I'd like to make it cute and eye-catching so kids don't automatically throw it out before their parents read it. (We'll have a crowd ranging from 1 1/2 to 6 or 7, including siblings.) I want it to be positive and interesting but factual.
Ideas? Or am I off my rocker?
