Note, though, that families do need to bring all of their own supplies for a party at Muscoot.

Though it had never occurred to me that a supermarket would be an ideal location for a toddler birthday party, I must admit that Stew Leonard's puts together a great package. The package includes invitations, decorations, face painting, a craft, games, a visit from Wow Cow, paper products, pizza and juice, ice cream sundaes, and birthday cake. Popular themes, like Paw Patrol and LOL Surprise, are available. With all of that supplied on-site, there's very little to do but show up with the birthday child in tow!
