So Lily chose Noah's Ark as her theme. All the children either dressed as their favourite animal or brought their own cuddly animal. We put our tent up and that was our Ark.
I made sure the party bags were fun and special. All guests were girls so I bought a lot of pink bags from Ebay and decorated them myself, with some vintage style goodies and a few Ark animal masks and a Maze activity sheet printed free from the web.
And Mummy even made, to the best standard she was able to, the Noah's Ark birthday cake!
And of course we had to have a Noah conducting ceremonies.
But best of all we weren't flooded!

You're such a clever lady Fleur, aren't you?!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Lily!!!
Brilliant, especially Noah! You can't beat what I call 'proper' children's birthday parties...I bet these are the sort that will be remembered, not those expensive, roller skating, disco, paintballing parties that seem all the rage now and as you say SO expensive!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love it. All absolutely wonderful. We had Space Parties, Circus Parties, Ancient Egypt Parties, a memorable Dinosaur Party completely planned by the boys... but I never thought of the Ark. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely party, when I was teaching the children loved me to read Noah's Ark to them, and they loved drawing the animals too :)Love how you had it outside too, the fresh air is so good for them :) I'd have loved some of that cake too :)
ReplyDeleteAll things nice...
How lovely Fleur, well done you!

Wonderful and so enterprising. My girls are all 30 odds now, and back then no-one gave lavish birthday parties with goodie bags sometimes more than the pressie itself. Its lovely to see such homemade stuff like this, well done you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so stealing the tent idea for the party that we're having in (eeek) a month that I haven't started planning for. well done and thanks and sorry and all that xxx
ReplyDeleteTwas wonderful. Most brilliant and creative ever, and that is saying something after halloween!
