One of my kids all-time favorite stories is Goldilocks and the Three Bears. It’s second only to The Three Little Pigs, but we’ve already had a birthday party based around that story so when my daughter turned 3 we celebrated with a party based around this story and she was completely thrilled! Her birthday fell on one of the days I teach preschool out of my home, so I incorporated some of the party into the preschool lesson that day so she could celebrate with her friends. We repeated the party that night with our family (with a few more things added in) and it made for a very fun and exciting day for her!
We started off with a story time of my daughter’s favorite versions of the story.

Over the years we have read SO many different versions. I previously compiled a list of our favorite versions which I showed to my daughter and asked which two were her favorite. She chose Papa Bear’s Page Fright and Goldilocks and the Just Right Potty.
We acted out the story using face masks.
Using these printable masks that we colored and laminated, the kids had a blast reenacting the story.


We played games inspired by the story


We ate food inspired by the story.


At the end we handed out a simple party favor.
