The party was bare bones simple (good thing kids don't care!). Every time I pick Ellie up from school her pictures are full of brown and purple drawings. Like, only brown and purple. Planning her party was easy: brown + purple +bows!
Every time I plan a party with these big balloons Ellie plays with them afterwards. Her eyes lit up when she found out they were just for her this time!
We served Mac & Cheese (her fave) and chocolate cake. We also had hot chocolate with huge vanilla bean marshmallows-YUM!
As an activity the kids made their own snow globes. Well, I would actually call them glitter globes because there wasn't water in them.
They showed me where they wanted their fawn and trees placed and I hot-glued them to the lid of half-pint mason jar. The kids poured white glitter into their jars and I helped them put the lid on. They were all excited to turn their jar over and see the "snow" fall. It was the perfect short and sweet craft for ages 1-4!
Happy Birthday sweet girl!
LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!
ReplyDeleteNice! Brown and purple is a great color combo -- it's sweet, but it also keeps the purple from looking too cutesy/girly. And I like those IKEA napkins; I used the green version for our Thanksgiving table.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I love when colors guide the whole party. The craft was a great idea for that age group!
