I hosted my Disney Side party Monday with some friends at the park. My husband made the kids a fun game to play — Mickey Mouse Balloon Dart Game.
Materials Needed:
Foam Poster Board (regular poster board is too flimsy)
Balloons
Scotch Tape
2 Different Circle Shape Objects To Trace
My husband took a large mixing bowl placed faced down and traced a circle at the bottom of the foam board, then with a smaller mixing bowl faced down he traced a circle at the top of the larger circle spacing them out for the “ears”. The he blew up all the balloons and with tape he taped each balloon inside the Mickey Mouse silhouette.
Since our party was at the park I placed the game at the base of a tree but unfortunately the grass popped a few of the balloons before we got started. With adult supervision I gave the kids one dart. The littler kids went 1st to oldest as they had a chance to pop Mickey Mouse!
You could make any color wrappers you want, even using the traditional black Mickey Mouse ears but I used what I already had without spending very much money! Stay tuned for more thrifty Disney / Mickey Mouse party fun this week!

What a fun idea!! I do a joint birthday party for my boys in August and I bet all the kids would love it.
What a cute idea! Something different to do a party that’s fun!
Cute idea! I am jealous that it is so warm where you are, bathing suits at the park seems a long way off for me.
I was just thinking, she must live in the South! All of the other blog posts I’ve seen about Disney parties have had snow!
We live in Florida.
We live in Florida too! I am in Miami and it was 85 degrees yesterday!
I am from Chicago and you to can just stop it with your bragging! LOL it is sunny and beautiful here too you know…but only 5 degrees 🙂
It looks like you are having so much fun! I love seeing all of these Disneyside parties!
My son would love a balloon dart game. I need to consider that for his bday party this year!
What a fun idea! That’s so creative. Looks like everyone had a blast, too1
What an adorable party! Love the DIY MM Dart game! I will be pinning this!
What a fun idea!! I posted about DIY Mickey Shirts and Headbands last year! We love all things Disney! 🙂
Such a cute idea! Bet the kids loved throwing those darts!
What a fun idea to do with the kids this spring and summer. I’m going to give it a shot. Looks like fun!

Thanks for these ideas! My Nephew is going to have a Mickey Mouse Birthday and this will be great!
What a fun and easy to make party game. Looks like you had pretty weather at the park.
What a great idea! I’m sure they had a ball!
I think I saw some plastic darts somewhere… now I’mgoing to look for some. My daughter’s B Day is in May
So jealous of your sun!! I’ll have to remember this when our weather is warmer, looks like a lot of fun for the kids!
What a fun game! My kids love balloon darts, but I’ve never thought to make my own game. ALso? I’m jealous you can be outside!
such a cute idea! It looks like the kids really enjoyed it – way to go!
Seriously! This is so fun and I would never have thought to make my own! I am going to do this just for some fun when the kids have a day off school tomorrow!
I so love the ballon dart game! Looks like one heck of a party!
I would not have thought to make this – especially so easily with foam board! great idea for my older son’s birthday!
Nice and fun idea! I bet the kids loved tossing those darts!
What A Great Idea Looks Like The Kids Enjoyed Themselves!
That’s so clever! I know my kids would love that… if they could contain themselves from taking the balloons off the board. lol
OH my goodness, now how fun is that? I don’t mind popping balloons that way, just not under my butt or whatever that game was.
My grandkids love anything related to Mickey. I’ll keep this in mind for their birthday parties.
This looks like such a fun idea! I hadn’t thought to make my own balloon darts.
What a cute game and perfect for the park. I’ll bet the kids all had a great time.
Aw! This looks too fun!! I wish I could have it at my bday party hehe 🙂
Great idea. Never soon this done before at a party.
That looks so fun. I love that it’s also pretty inexpensive to use.
So cute and I love this! Pinning!
This. Is. Awesome! I never thought to do this! My kids are going to go nuts! I am going to make this for chores! Put a chore inside and they have to do the one they pop!
So much fun! What a great family event
How fun!! What a cute game to set up for a birthday party!
Looks like all the kids had a super fun time! I know I’d like to throw darts at those balloons.
Very creative idea and fun too!
I wish we had good weather more than just a couple of months of the year so we could do more backyard parties. It looks like the kids had a blast.
What a great idea! I am in NJ, it snows almost every day here! I need to move to FL!
That dart game is awesome!
That has to be a blast!! What a great idea and super creative!
That turned out so great and it looks like it was enjoyed by all!
This seems like such a good idea for the party. I may copy this idea with my kids this summer.
Sounds like a great idea for summer parties. Mickey is always a great idea and balloons even better.
My kids would love this. It is so cute!
This looks like so much fun! Mt girls would love it!
Great idea. It looks like so much fun.
I love this idea! We usually just pin them to a board without any outline – how creative!
Soo cute and creative and I bet the kids loved it.. I remember when I was little dart boards always were my favorite…totally had forgotten about them..thanks for sharing
Aww I love that balloon game and it looks perfectly like mickey! I don’t know where you are, but I wish we had weather like that!!
Sounds like a really fun idea! I can imagine how excited the kids must have been. Thank you for sharing!
Wow! That looks like a lot of fun! Great idea.
What a fun idea! I bet I would take over the game if I play and make the kids mad at me, it looks like such a great game to play for adult too.
