No problem Mausami, glad I could be apart of your daughters party. Would love to see photos of your party setup. Enjoy x
You are the best Thank you, do you have an email address I have some questions
Thanks soooo much.. My daughter is a huge fan of Dora. I have been so worried on how I was going to get Dora and friends images since Cricket do not have a Dora cartridge. I am so excited. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for these printables!! My three year old is going to be very excited that her Dora friends can join her great third birthday adventure! and I will enjoy planning it!! hihi!
Hi it’s me again… how do you hold up your characters? I see that they is a piece of wood underneath but I can’t figure it out.
TIA, Melissa
Do you have other letters for the banner? ELIZA
I would love it! thanks for colorful banner
Wow, i can’t wait to get started on making these for my daughters 4th birthday in 2 weeks. thank you for the big help!
Thank you so much for all the printables! My daughter loves Dora and is so excited for her birthday!
I have a question. For the banner would you recommend printing on an A3 or A4 size paper. And also if I wanted to make the name as well how would I do that? Would you be able to help me make it. My daughters name is AALIYAH.
I believe this attachment is for A4 paper to print on. If you wanted to make your own name I would suggest making it in word and play around with the size and colours. It would be your best option. Hope that helps
Hi Sam! Thanks a million for these awesome printouts! My daughter will love it for her 3rd birthday but for the birthday banner sign, how can I print the letters for her name, Gianna?? Thanks for your help!
hi there thanks for reading my blog. I have had another of people asking for extra letters. I will try my best in the next few days to add the extra letters to the blog post. Thanks again
Thanks for this wonderful site.We really loved the DORA theme and planning to use it for our daughter’s birthday.We are having the following queries,can you please help?
a)Our daughter name is different than ELLIE so would you kindly help us in giving the letter N and V as other letters we can get it from the existing links.We did try it in word but it is really difficult to match the same font and design as yours. It would be great if you can share all alphabets in the same design so it would help everyone else.
b)The paper to print the above designs would be card stock type right?(and recommended size is A4?)Can you please share A3 sized designs as well as we would like to use the bigger size images because I believe you were demonstrating the A3 sized images?
Apologies for the late reply. To answer your questions a) I will try my best at do the extra letters for you but can’t promise anything
b) That right, best to print on cardstock and recommended size is A4. I was demonstrating the A3 size but unfortunately with my software that I am using I can only seemed to do a PDF as A4 and can’t do A3. sorry for this
Thanks for the response.It would help us a great deal if you can somehow manage atleast these 2 letters before june 6th as our daughter’s birthday is on June 8th.We understand that your schedule is really busy but please help us as our whole plan of using your theme may not be possible because of these two letters.Kindly consider our sincere request.
unfortunately not yet but have it on my list to do and add to the blog. Thanks for your comments
oh my word! I could KISS you right now! 🙂 My little girl is turning three in August, (a week before her brother is due) and we want to make it special for her, especially with the change a new baby brings. She LOVES Dora, and this is absolutely GREAT!!! Can you maybe help with a template for backpack to use as a party goody bag? one that looks as close to Backpack as possible? Thanks again! (Marili_South Africa)
Hi Marili, if you look where it says Balloon centrepieces (the map & backpack) those can be used for your goody bags. Just drag them into word and make smaller. You can’t make them bigger but you can make them smaller. Hope that helpsx
Hi I love your cut outs ! but how can I add my daughters name to the door sign
Maybe try doing it in word? print it out and stick it on top of the door sign. Hope that helps x
How could I get these double sided? When I downloaded it it’s a pdf file and it wouldn’t give me the open to flip or mirror the image. Help me please !
Thank u so much for the Dora the Explorer cutouts and for the video. My 2 years old really love it Keep up the good work.
thank you for your kind words
None of the links are working for me.
Hi Sam, these downloads are all amazing and we are looking forward to using them for our daughters first birthday. I was wondering if you have any Dora invitations that we could use?
It is very difficult to track them down online.
Many thanks
Hi, I’m making the Dora the Explorer birthday banner and I was wondering if you could tell me the font used on yours and if you could send me the blank flags or tell me how to make them to say Karsyn. Thanks, I love your blog.
Thank you so much!! Nova almost cried she was so excited to see all the Dora printouts! 🙂
That’s wonderful! I am so happy I was able to help 🙂
I was wondering if there was a way to get a mirrored image of the Dora character centerpieces to have them facing both ways if sitting in the middle of the table?
Hi! You are so generous to share your lovely creations here for free!!! Our Ellie (yes! our daughter is Ellie too!) will turn to 4 in a couple of days. She will be so excited to celebrate her bday with Dora and her friends. Thank you sooooo much!
You’re most welcome enjoy your party Ellie 🙂
merci
Thank you so much for sharing this. Our daughter Petra loved her birthday decorations! You are amazing!
You’re most welcome Glad your daughter had a wonderful time
Thank you so much for sharing these with everyone ! My daughter is a big Dora fan and is going to turn 4 next week. Would it be possible to add number 4 in your happy birthday banner sign or any way you would be able to let me know the font of the numbers
HI there, I am so happy to hear these printables will be helpful to you. Unfortunately at this time I am not adding anymore to the designs. Thanks
