Your child loves Mr Peabody and Sherman so much that the request to have a Mr Peabody and Sherman birthday party should be expected.

This could be relatively easy, unless you’re not very familiar with the two characters!

If you’re yet to watch Mr Peabody and Sherman, I urge you to go get yourself a copy of Mr. Peabody and Sherman.

Yes, this is a great family entertainer!

Packed with rib-tickling scenes, history lessons, and adventure, my kids will vouch for this to be one of their favorite movies in a while.

Mr Peabody and Sherman Birthday Party Ideas

Host a Time Period Party featuring one of the time travel destinations Mr Peabody, Sherman and Penny travel to, in the highlighted movie above.

We chose Ancient Greece.

Easy Tips for hosting a Mr. Peabody and Sherman Party

Based on whether you host your party early on in the day or later on, you would need to decide whether you would do crafts, playtime, food, and then the movie viewing,

or do the movie viewing first and then all the activities.

We had the food served, watched the movie, and then dove into the crafts.

This then allowed the kids to enjoy some time for play.

1. Buy or rent the movie for the party

Movie synopsis: Mr. Peabody is a genius, an inventor, a scientist and yes, a dog too.

He adopts Sherman when Sherman was just a tiny baby.

The two go on several adventures in their time travel machine, the WABAC.

The WABAC is a well-guarded secret between the two…at least till Penny comes along!

An “incident” in school results in Mr. Peabody inviting the “victim”, Penny, and her parents over for dinner, with the hopes of appeasing a dicey situation.

One thing leads to another and Mr. Peabody and Sherman find themselves traveling back in time to bring back Penny, before her parents realize she’s missing.

What entails for the viewer is fun, excitement and yes several history lessons rolled into one!

Psst! Isn’t that Peabody Funko Pop absolutely adorable?

2. Choose a time period in the movie and center your food and crafts around the same.

We hosted an Ancient Greece-themed party and thanks to a little inspiration from the Fox Home Entertainment team, the kids made Trojan War Helmets.

and yes, raged through the house, on their imaginary trojan horses.

Isn’t it nice to see how construction paper, popsicle sticks, glue, and some cutting can bring so much fun into a playdate?

They even dressed dolls in togas and yes, even a voluntary Mickey too!

For party-fare, I  served pita chips and multi-grain crackers with the same and made naan rolls with seasoned, grilled chicken on a bed of tzatziki and salad.

For dessert I made Date Walnut and Honey cupcakes, to tie in flavors from Greece and served up some fresh fruit as well.

Don’t forget to get these Mr. Peabody and Sherman round black glasses for the kids.

Oooh, and Sherman’s red bowtie!

The kids and adults had fun.

I’m thinking I just may do a small-scale one for the other time periods too.

This was a neat way to get the kids to try out some new flavors and have fun learning while working on their crafts and activities.
