But you don’t need to work yourself to the bone to host a unicorn party that is fun in all the right ways.

3. UNICORN OREOS
All you need to do is half-dip Oreos into white chocolate that has been marbled with drops of pastel food colouring. Hot tip: Use colouring sparingly or the pastels will not be pastel.

9. UNICORN FLUFFY SLIME STATION
Kids can play with it at the party, and possibly take it home in their goodie bags (if you don’t care about pissing off a whole lot of parents).

10. UNICORN HORN RING TOSS
You can either buy a ring toss game, or make your own! It can be as simple as some cardboard wrapped into a cone shape that kids have to try and throw a hula hoop over. (Use a smaller scale hoop for younger kids.)
