DIY Dora The Explorer Party Game

Explorer stars are a great way to add some DIY fun to a Dora The Explorer party. This party game idea comes from Googlyeyesandglitter and is a quick game to get the kids in the Dora mood. These parties ideas are perfect for Dora The Explorer fans of all little ages.

Did you know why the TV program is called Dora? The inspiration for the name Dora Marquez was exploradora, the Spanish feminine word for explorer, and the acclaimed writer Gabriel García Márquez.

Dora teaches the viewer by asking them to help her solve puzzles. Did you know that Dora the Explorer is broadcast in 141 countries? And even has its own spin-off show, Go Diego Go? Diego Marquez is a young action-adventure hero who loves nature and animals. He’s also Dora the Explorer’s cousin. Diego’s mission, with help from young viewers at home and on occasion features Dora, is to help rescue an animal in trouble.

Did you know that Dora The Explorer first aired in 2000? Yep, it is THAT old folks.

My kids enjoyed watching Dora The Explorer when they were little as they had fun solving puzzles with Dora and her sidekick – Boots.

If you’ve ever opened a drawer and found a stack of old T-shirts you just can’t let go of — maybe from school days, favorite concerts, or even a loved one — then you’ll love this creative and meaningful idea: a T-shirt memory quilt.

I recently stumbled upon this tutorial from Thermoweb, and I couldn’t help but think about all the sentimental tees I’ve saved over the years. You know the ones… that high school spirit shirt from senior year, your first 5K race tee, or maybe your favorite faded band shirt from a concert you’ll never forget.

This quilt project gives those memories a second life — not just stuffed in a storage bin, but sewn into something cozy and functional you can use every day.

Thermoweb’s version uses their EZ-Tee Stabilizer to help keep the stretchy T-shirt fabric from warping during the sewing process. If you’ve ever worked with jersey or knit, you know it can be a little tricky. But their tutorial breaks it down simply, making it approachable even if you’re not an expert quilter.

What I really love about this idea is that it’s not just for remembering someone who’s passed — though it’s a beautiful memorial option. It’s also perfect for celebrating chapters of your own life. A college graduation quilt made from sorority or club tees, a child’s outgrown sports shirts, or even a quilt made from all your vacation souvenirs… the possibilities are endless.

So next time you go to clear out your closet, think twice before tossing those old T-shirts. They might just become your next favorite blanket — full of stories, stitched with love.
