Rolie Polie Olie is a little boy cartoon character consisting of spheres and other geometric shapes, not in the movies, but on television for children. The different colors and shapes of this very special award-winning character lend itself to fun and games for pre-schoolers at a Rolie Polie Olie party.

The young guests can all be waiting in excitable anticipation for the TV series to be played on DVD for the party. Meanwhile, out of simple multi-colored construction paper sheets, the children can draw circles, squares, triangles and more. These shapes will be the basis for putting together some Rolie Polie Olie characters of their own. They can draw the shapes using jar lids for the circles and rulers to make the squares. Then they will need to cut out the shapes, with safety scissors, and put them together into characters. See just how creative they can be.

William Joyce is the creator of this marvelous cartoon and its characters, and it is produced by Nelvana. Although the creation and awards were in the 1990’s, the cartoon itself has something of a vintage feel of the 1960’s. Since the Polie family lives in a geometric type of world, and in fact they reside in a teapot, the children might enjoy using an entire table at the platform for creating an entire town. They can make trees, cars, the teapot house, clouds, and anything they can think of to add to the atmosphere of the town.

With about a dozen shows in each of six seasons, there are a lot of Rolie Polie Olie TV shows to choose from. The kids will love them all, so just pick out of few for “show time,” serve a healthy snack, and watch them enjoy. Be sure to add party supplies, such as napkins, cups and paper or plastic plates with Rolie Polie Olie on them to add to the kids’ fun.
