Peanuts Collectibles

October 2 is approaching fast! Just one week until the 58th anniversary of Peanuts! Luckily, I happened upon just the source for Peanuts party supplies at Celebrate Express. Everything from plates to blowouts to party favors are available! No party is complete without balloons. Check out the selection from Amazon.com.

For fun and games, start with Peanuts trivia questions. For the kids, print out some coloring pages. Relax with friends and family for the nostalgia of the Peanuts specials. Round off the evening with board games and puzzles featuring your favorite characters.

From NASA.gov, “In 1968, Snoopy was chosen as an official symbol of merit for America’s Space Program and to this day, the Silver Snoopy is awarded to NASA employees who demonstrate excellence in their work. Through the decades, the connections between Peanuts and NASA have remained rich. In fact, the Apollo 10 command and lunar modules were named after Charlie Brown and the lovable beagle.”

Snoopy is part of NASA’s picture of the day celebrating NASA’s 50th Anniversary. The image is available as a wonderful desktop image. Also, check out the kids club gallery for more photos from 1968.

If you live in the United States, you can’t help but notice it’s election time. If you can’t decide on a political candidate, then maybe it’s time to try the Peanuts ticket. Visit Peanuts Rock the Vote to cast your ballot and read classic election comic strips.

Once you’ve chosen a candidate, shop at the Snoopy Store at Cafepress.com for Peanuts election t-shirts, yard signs, buttons, magnets and more!
