Diego Activities:
1. Pick our Jaguar so all the guests at your Party can have their own Baby Jaguar:
Click Here - Our Jaguar is found under Zoo Animals
2. Decorate T-Shirts
Now they can decorate T-Shirts for their new animals that they have made. Make sure you have cardboard between the shirts so when the children are decorating the markers do not bleed to the other side. You can use normal markers. Note: Do not decorate with glue or glitter glue as it will not be dry for your guests to put on their animals in time.
You can purchases these T-Shirts where you purchase the animals from.

Diego Games
- Treasurer Hunt: Now that everyone has their own Baby Jaguar to help them, why not have a treasurer hunt. Give each child a treasure map, and have them search for a special prize or gift hidden around your house or outside. If they are young children, you can have a parent team with the child. Place Diego characters around the room for the kids to find. If you don't have any of the Diego characters, then print pictures out from the Internet on your computer and place them on chairs, sofas, walls, for the guests to find.
- Pass The Jungle Parcel
This game is based on the traditional version of pass the parcel. Instead of each child unwrapping a layer and finding a small plastic animal, they will have to identify the mystery animal – Without looking at it!!
Materials Needed:
Collect enough small animal figures for there to be one for each child. Here are some ideas for animals of the jungle:
-
spider
-
scorpion
-
snake
-
tiger
-
monkey
-
giraffe
-
frog
-
lizard
-
lion
-
jaguar
Put each animal in a small paper or cloth bag. Or even a jungle safari party favor bag (from www.yourperfectpartyshop.com) The children will feel the animals and try to identify them - so make sure they can't be seen!
