{DIY} Bunny Tails Easter Treat

2011-04-18T20:06:00.001-04:00

Can you believe Easter is this coming Sunday? I can't believe how fast this year is flying right by us! Since we are in Easter mode around my house, I thought I would share with you this cute idea I found over at eighteeen25 blog spot. BUNNY TAILS! I usually send my daughter to school with some treat to share with her friends at school and this year as soon as I saw this bunny tail idea I knew what we were doing for our Easter treats! Here are a few pictures of our bunny tail treat bags.

She started to sign her name with a crown next to it -

Do you think she thinks she's a princess?

- I asked her if that was the logo for Lilly she goes

NO! I'm just adding my princess crown! lol

We used (4) large marshmallows in our bags because the large marshmallows in our bag looked so skimpy when we only put (2) in the snack bag. Plus, then we used it as a counting activity - she had to count out the bags, count out (4) marshmallows, and then print her name 20 X's on the back of the cards. By the time we were down with the 20 bunny tails - Lilly said this was a lot of work!! It definitely entertained her this raining weekend ;)

So if you are looking for a cute idea for your classroom, easter brunch, or treats for the kids to take to school hop on over to eighteen25 and print off their cute party printable and follow the tutorial! The link to download the templates can be found right here!

Thanks eighteen25 for sharing this cute idea!!!

Under the Sea Inspired Party

Little Mermaid and Under the Sea inspired party

These picture are from my daughters 4th Birthday party from last summer~ An Under the Sea Birthday Party. I shared this post last summer over at The Preppy Strawberry in June but wanted to share the party with all of my Lillian Aerin & Co readers.

In the picture above I got the wreath idea from How does she blog? Click here for more instructions on how to make a balloon wreath! I think I made mine bigger than the one they gave instructions for because I used close to 300 balloons!

Under the Sea Party

To create my under the sea theme I used blue balloons and white balloons and taped them to the ceiling and the walls. Along with the balloons I hung green crepe paper down for the sea algae and then across the ceiling I twisted two different colors of blue together to create the water look.

My centerpieces were glass vases from the dollar store and I put swim goggles around the vase. I filled the glasses up with water then added blue food coloring. In between the vases I had little fish dishes and filled them with gold fish crackers!

Mermaid Cake

The mermaid cake I did by hand - see pictures below of how I cut it out. We had a little miss hap when icing it because Lilly wanted to help. So I gave in and let her help but when she was putting the M&M's on the tail she pushed a little too hard and we lost the tail! Oh well nothing a few toothpicks and some more icing can't fill in! ;)

before the icing

Singing happy birthday with her cousins and friends. - She wasn't looking at me because everyone else was taking a picture! Poor kid didn't know where to look! ;)

Happy Birthday - this picture was taken on her actual birthday!

My baby is four!

Toy Story Inspired Birthday Party

2011-02-21T11:11:00.000-05:00

This past weekend, I had the honor of helping plan my nieces 4th Birthday party. She picked Toy Story 3 for her party theme which comes as no surprise since she asked for the Buzz Light year bike! Yes, you heard me correctly Buzz not Barbie or Hello Kitty - she only wanted Buzz Light Year Bike. You can say she is a huge fan of Toy Story!

Here is a peak at the Party ....

Invitations:

We went with the etch a sketch theme for the invitation. I used the etch a sketch to write all of the party details in the center of etch a sketch.

* if you are interested in the Toy Story Invitation please email me at events@lillianaerin.com. I will take custom requests for the invitation.

Favor Table - Sunnyside Daycare Table

Favor Table:
I used a empty box and marked on the outside Sunnyside just like from Toy Story 3 when Andy was preparing for college and had to give away some of his toys. Lucky for me my niece and my daughter both had there share of Toy Story toys that we could use as props on the favor table.

Favor Bags:
The favor bags were lunch bag with the Toy Story logo and tied with some twine. Inside each kid received a packet of toy story fruit treats, stickers, note pad, pencils, temporary tattoos, markers, crayons, play cards - all Toy story themed items.

Table:
My niece wanted the Toy Story table cloths so we used the Toy Story 3 table cloths along with matching plates and hats. The party hats were Toy Story Alien hats - pretty cute!

Table Setting

each child received a sheriff badge and for lunch we had pizza - From Pizza Planet (Toy Story 1)

and juice box and along with these fun squeeze applesauces! Did you see how cute those Alien hats are? All of the kids had a blast and loved the theme.

Birthday Banner:

Birthday banner was also done to match the same colors as the plates and table cloths. I used a white flower cut, with another green flower cut, and then cut the letters in a matching blue color - all strung with some twine.

Toy Story Cuts outs & banner are also available as a party package - please email me at events@lillianaerin.com for more information

Cake:

A Wilton cake pan and a steady hand and lots of patience went into creating the buzz cake. Along with the cake the kids also had there choice of cupcake.

Buzz Light Year Cake

Games/Crafts

Games - They played pin the badge on woody and there was also a piñata Toy Story tower game.

Craft - we did create your own Mr. Potato Head - each child received a Mr. Potato head cut out and then glued on arms, nose, and his shoes. This was a big hit and all of the kids loved creating their own Mr. Potato head.
