Hey Zoosters! To spread the word about Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted and to get the kids excited about the third installment of one of their favorite movie franchises, we got to throw a Mad Party courtesy of Crowdtap, Dreamworks Animation and me! Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted follows our favorite foursome and their lemur and penguin pals as they try to get home to New York via Europe. In order to elude the persistent Captain DuBois (who wants Alex's head for her wall!), their journey takes them to Monte Carlo, Rome, London and New York as they join forces with a local travelling circus. My kids are already excited about the film and will love the new additions to the franchise, including Ava and Stefon. In order to celebrate the flare of the movie and to get the kids excited, my little circus had a MaD CirCuS AmEriCaNo party of their own!

Decorating!
Blow up the balloons, throw the confetti! My kids had a great time getting ready for the party. They cut out the graphics included in our digital party pack and hung balloons and streamers. Big Top themed and full of color, the house was transformed into a big top extravaganza! Once the mood was set, we got the kids set up with games and activities.
Gaming!
My kids loved the masks of Marty, Melman, Gloria and Alex. One of Stefon and Captain DuBois would have been awesome! They played Tic Tac Toe, connect the dots and completed the mazes. My little ones loved being blindfolded and trying to pin the tail on Gloria!
Polka Dot Afro!
Instead of face paints, which I couldn't find, I decided to have the kids cover themselves in polka dot stickers like Marty from the movie! Did you know kids love to do that? Once they were done, we took turns donning the circus afro and showing off our best Marty Moves!
Zebra Cupcake Making!
I was too shorthanded to tackle the Zebra Cake! Instead, I created Zebra cupcakes with black and white frosting. I added colorful rainbow sprinkles and dots for some circus flare. We also made popcorn, chocolate chip cookies with sprinkles, red hot circus sugar cookies, candies and apples (for good measure)!
"Move It" Dance Off Video!
Once the kids were chalked full of Zebra Cake, it was time to put the sugar to work. Playing our favorite songs from the film, Circus Afro and Firework, we had an awesome dance off! With the music playing, each of the kids tried their best to dance like Marty from the movie. We had nothing but winners as far as I'm concerned.
Check out their moves in this video montage!
To (big) top it off, I bought the entire family tickets to Circu Vargas in June (Shh! They don't know yet!) We had a great time and are looking forward to seeing the high flying film on June 8, 2012! Thank you Dreamworks Animation and Crowdtap! We had a Circus Americano Ball!
