About Noddy Theme:

Noddy is a little wooden boy who lives in his own little House-for-One in Toyland. Noddy got his name because his head is on a spring and when he gets excited his head cannot stop nodding. The noise is accompanied by the ringing of his hats' bell.

The first book explains Noddy's origins. He was carved by a woodsman but ran away after the man began to make a wooden lion, which Noddy was scared of. As he wanders through the woods, with no clothes, money or home, he meets Big Ears, a friendly gnome. Big Ears decides that Noddy is a toy and takes him to live in Toyland. He generously provides Noddy with a set of clothing and buys a build-it-yourself house for him. While this may sound strange, one must remember that almost everything in Toyland is a toy or made from toys. Therefore, building a house out of a building block kit is not unusual. While Noddy is quite happy to be a toy, the citizens of Toyland are not sure that he is actually one. They put Noddy on trial and examine whether he is a toy, ornament or other object. Eventually, Noddy is declared a toy, after a doll, who's baby Noddy saved, tells the courts how wonderful Noddy is. Noddy gets his car within a few books. It is given to him by the townspeople, after Noddy helps solve a local mystery. Noddy loves driving his friends around Toyland and delivering parcels in his little red and yellow taxi. You can hear him coming by the "Parp, Parp" sound of his little taxi's horn or by the jingle of the bell on his blue hat. Often he uses his airplane to get around to visit all the places in Toyland. When his Taxi business is not doing so well, or when he needs help, he turns to Big Ears. Big Ears will often lend him what he needs. On occasion, Noddy will allow people to make his head nod, in exchange for small items, like his morning milk.

Party Tips:

Getting Organized:

Decide, with the party person, what the theme of the party will be. Keep in mind that this is not an easy decision for a young child to make. It's pretty important stuff to them. Spend some time helping them to decide, but keep the choices.

4 - 6 weeks ahead:

• Decide, with the party person, what the theme of the party will be. Keep in mind that this is not an easy decision for a young child to make. It's pretty important stuff to them. Spend some time helping them to decide, but keep the choices to three or four - too many might overwhelm.
• Make out your list of party guests. You might want to stick this up somewhere so that you can add to it as you think of people you've forgotten.
• Outline the types of party activities - games, crafts, etc. - that you hope to include.
• Make lists - decorations to buy, decorations to make, party favors, game prizes, menu - and refer to them often.
• Inform the store one week in advance about the giftmantra range that you have decided to use for the party.

• Write out your invitations and hand-deliver or mail them. Let your child help with as much as they are capable of doing. Pre-schoolers love to decorate envelopes with pictures and stickers, and would feel very responsible having that "job" to do.
• Shop for party supplies and decorations.
• Order the birthday cake if you are going to have it made for you.

• Check on your party supplies to make sure that you have everything that you need.
• Go over your party activity list again, and make sure that you have all of the necessary equipment if any.

• Do your final grocery shop, and don't forget film, video tape, and batteries.
• Confirm the number of guests.
• Don't worry so much about cleaning the house. Your guests will remember what a good time they had, not the dust.

• Finish decorating or pick up the cake.
• Double-check the area of the house or yard to be used for the party. Make sure that it's "party-safe". Put away your favorite crystal and plants that might get tipped, and remove any furniture necessary to make room.
• Put up the indoor decorations.
• Do any food preparation that can be done ahead.

• Finish all of the food preparation.
• Put up the outside decorations.
• Mark the designated party area, inside or out, with decorations or signs. Keep your party activities and menu lists handy, and refer to them occasionally. Make sure all your food is out and not left in the kitchen in all this.
• Finally, relax, and enjoy the party with your child!
