ZhuZhu Pets Ice Cream Social Play Date

Among any kids "Top 10 Best Things About Summer" is of course, ice cream!!!
The only thing better than having some delicious ice cream on a hot summer day is sharing that ice cream with a friend beside you.

Today we hosted a fun Ice Cream Social Play Date and enjoyed some ice cream with over 20 of our favorite friends.

Our friends at The Zhuniverse sent us (4) brand new ZhuZhu Pets as well as an Ice Cream Parlor and Ice Cream Truck that inspired our party and we sent each of our guests home with a new ZhuZhu friend. It doesn't get much better than friends, ice cream and ZhuZhu Pets. :)

My favorite thing about the ZhuZhu Pets line of toys is that they appeal to kids of all different ages and interests. Our guests ranged in age from 1-13 and they all had a love for ZhuZhu Pets in common...as well as a love for ice cream!

Another tease from our friends in the Zhu-niverse...

You may have seen my post a few weeks ago announcing the coming of the Zhu-Zhu Pets in their first feature length film, The Quest for Zhu, coming this Fall.

We're HUGE Zhu-Zhu fans at our house and I'm so excited for this movie to come out. The trailers looks so cute, I just know my kids are going to love it!

If you can't get enough Zhu-tastic action either, I've got great news for you. Our friends in the Zhu-niverse have released an extended trailer for The Quest for Zhu!!!

The best news I got all day... (The Quest for Zhu)

Have you heard about The "Quest for Zhu"? You haven't? Well...have I got some exciting news for you!

"The Quest for Zhu" is the first feature-length animation from Zhu-Zhu Pets! That's right, folks...the Zhu-Zhu Pets are going to the big on the screen! You heard it here first, kids.

The movie is in partnership with Universal Pictures and will debut in the Fall of 2011. "The Quest for Zhu" will bring the Zhu-niverse to life in 3D. It stars the four original Zhu-ZHu Pets characters - Pipsqueak, NumNums, Mr. Suiggle & Chunk - it's a tale of adventure of heroic proportions that Zhu-Zhu fans of all ages are sure to LOVE!

I Now Pronounce You Hamster and Wife! - Zhu-Zhu Pet Royal Wedding Review

Last week people all over the world watched the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. This week at our house (a slightly smaller venue) we had a royal wedding of our own. I was honored to plan and officiate the wedding of the sweet and beautiful Princess Snowcup and the handsome and debonair Prince Dashington. 

We were supplied with an awesome Zhu-niverse Royal Wedding Kit, which included the Bride and Groom, (3) Zhu-Zhu Wedding outfits, a Magical Princess Carriage, a Magical Princess Castle and a  Magical Princess Ballroom.

We had fun setting up for this unique play-date! Our typical play-dates don't require decorations, but we were having a wedding, a ROYAL WEDDING at that, so we had to set the theme! A trip to the Dollar Store covered everything we needed to fancy the place up for a wedding:

 

Our guests arrived to the wedding dressed to impress and excited to test out the fun Magical Zhu-Zhu Princess line of toys!

Our play date started off with some snacking, as any good gathering does. We then attempted to make the girls toilet paper dresses, however, my son was the only one interested in wearing a toilet paper wedding gown. 

              Which he then tore off in an Incredible Hulk type move. 

Princess Isabelle wasn't interested in a T.P. gown, but we did manage to convince her to wear a toilet paper veil. 

We also had to make Princess Snowcup a wedding gown from toilet paper. The pink dress she was wearing was lovely, but we felt she needed to be in white. 
After the Bride was dressed, the Royal Carriage came to pick her up and carted her off to the Crystal Castle where Prince Dashington was waiting for her. 

The Bride and Groom exchanged vows and the wedding ended with a kiss. Oh yes...we actually held a ceremony. The kids faces were priceless! I need to look into getting ordained, I think I may have missed my calling! Then the newlyweds went to the ballroom where they shared their first dance.

Our family is not at all new to Zhu-Zhu Pets. We've been big Zhu-Zhu Pet fans at our house for a few years now. You can learn all about the Zhu-Zhu line of quality toys, like the items from the Magical Princess line we were provided for our Royal Zhu-Zhu Wedding by checking out The Zhuniverse online here. It's been our experience that the zhu-zhu pets, play sets and accessories are fun, easy to operate and great for kids of all different ages.
