My Little Bean has turned 3 years old! It's so hard to believe...time goes so fast! To celebrate the occasion, we had a rainbow party, by Bean's request. She loves all things rainbow! So, I really took the theme and went with it. It was a blast to plan. I wanted to share some pics with you all...
Here is the food table. Our party was in the mid-afternoon, so we only needed snacks, rainbow goldfish, rainbow candies (sixlets), rainbow sprinkled dipped oreos, and rainbow vegetables.
A close-up of the dipped oreos, yummy.
And I got the most adorable printables for the party. See below for resources.
A close-up of the cake, which of course, I did myself. I have to thank pinterest for the inspiration!
And of course, the inside was rainbow too!
Above both of the tables, I hung paper lanterns in rainbow colors!
And here is Bean in her rainbow party dress...complete with blue shoes and rainbow hair clips.
The gift bags which contained crayons (with rainbows on the outside), skittles, rainbow suckers (the round ones), rainbow leis, and rainbow hair clips (for the girls).
The party table...
Pinwheels made with rainbow scrapbook paper in vases filled with rainbow sixlets.
Since we were having this party in late October, we cannot count on the weather to be decent in any way. So, I decided to provide crafts for the kids to do to keep them busy. They seemed to be really successful. First, I did a Froot Loop necklace craft (hint: don't use yarn as I did, find some cording, it will be easier to string the cereal on).
Second, I did a cloud with a rainbow craft. Super simple and inexpensive, but the kids really enjoyed them.
A close-up of the lanterns over the party table...I didn't want to put holes in my ceiling, so I just tied them all on to my chandelier with fishing line.
Me and the Bean having a great time at the party...
