Take the fun off-line and throw this fab emoji birthday bash!

How to throw an emoji party

a:1:{i:0;s:1225:"Let’s face it: emojis make texting a whole lot cheerier. 
An array of expressive faces to punctuate sentences adds a little extra personality to the texts that fly among tweens. And what better way to feed their love of these itty-bitty digital faces than by hosting a birthday bash where kids can really get in touch with their emoji-onal side? 
Decorate by sticking emoji decals on your walls, and create a giant emoji for Pin The Face On The Emoji. You’ll need a hula hoop, yellow tablecloth, bristol board, scissors, a stapler and double-sided tape. Hold the cloth taut around the hoop and staple it in place. Cut out the features from bristol board, place tape on the back of each and set aside. As your guests roll in, give everyone’s thumbs a rest from texting and have fun designing emoji necklaces. Then break out the blindfold and give each guest a shot at 
pinning features on the big emoji—sure to induce ROFL.
For lunch, serve up mini emoji pizzas, using toppings to create the faces. (Tip: Pepper slices make great eyebrows.) For snacks, draw expressions on mini Gouda cheese wheels using black food-colouring pens, and serve them up alongside your sandwich-cookie lollipop treats. Have a GR8 time! ";}
