KID 2 turned 2 a couple of weeks ago, and after postponing this party TWICE due to illness, we finally celebrated her birthday in Very Hungry Caterpillar Style!
Some Party Prep:
I made mini cherry tarts the night before the party
Nectar-Sipping Cups...made from foam circles
(I had way too much time to plan after cancelling this party TWICE!)
These little bookmark pals turned out so cute! These were our party favors.
They actually fit through the holes in the book!
Party Day!
Birthday Girl is Looking for Some Fun!
Hunting for Caterpillars

Sipping Nectar Like a Butterfly!
Free-Play in the Backyard
Happy Birthday To You, Little One!
Served with a cherry on top, just like the story!
Some activities not shown here:
Feeding the hungry caterpillar (a beanbag toss game)
Decorating butterfly crowns (it was too windy to wear them and I slacked on the photo op)
The party was so much fun! The kids were great and the adults even enjoyed "eating what the caterpillar ate!" Now I need to start planning for KID 1's "Wild Rumpus" (his birthday is right after Christmas, so if I don't plan now, it might not happen!)

Donna, this was such a creative idea for a party and we had a great time! Our caterpillar chia pet is sunning himself on the porch as I type...
ReplyDeleteThat's funny! KID 1 is just itching to give his caterpillar a haircut. I think today is the day he will become a barber!
