We decided on a bug theme for Cohen's 2nd birthday. It was a really fun party and easy to plan! This is a shot of the sugar cookies that have become a family tradition at birthdays around here:) They always match the theme....I have accumulated quite a few cookie cutters over the years, so in between parties they are often used by the kiddos to make "cookies" out of playdough! These are grasshoppers...
"Centipede" grape skewers....
More sugar cookies...butterflies, snails, and grasshoppers. I got the bags at hobby lobby and tied them up with raffia:) Twine would also be cute....
Table setting.....a few nets and bugs from the dollar store...hotdogs coming up!
I made this bug shirt with fabric scraps and button eyes and a little ric-rac...
Drink station included "beetle juice" for the kids...(juice boxes)
Dirt cupcakes with gummy worms....plastic bugs decorated the tables....
Digging for real worms.....the shovels and rakes came from the dollar store and the worms from Walmart! We filled a wheelbarrow with dirt and the kids had a blast digging!
The Very Hungry Caterpillar! (I saw this on pinterest and had to use it!)
I used my cricut to cut the letters for the "bug spray" bottles....really just some dollar store bottle filled with water. The kids wore antennae headbands that I made with pipe cleaners and plastic headbands and they were the "bugs". They had a blast spraying each other!
Some of the little "bugs".....hope this inspires some fun "bug" parties out there for your little buggies!! Thanks for checking out my blog:)
