Rosebud asked for an ocean-themed birthday party this year. We worked on it for all of January and finally hosted it the last day of the month. We made a sign out of fish on a net that said "Happy Birthday Bridie" and put up seaweed in our ocean-colored dining room. Nut Brown hung up a sheet over the fan to make it look like we were under water.
The girls started by painting treasure chests a solid base color, and then they played an egg-and-spoon game that was ocean creature bath toys instead of eggs. Next up was making ocean-themed suncatchers out of cardstock, tissue paper and contact paper. They turned out really well, although cutting out all that cardstock ahead of time was a lot of work for me.
We made a grotto at the bottom of the stairs where they descended to "rescue" a stuffed animal party favor. For some reason they put them all on their heads for the photo.
Back to the table to decorate their chests with paint markers.
Good time for everyone! Happy birthday, Rosebud!
