BUTTERFLY THEMED PARTY
GAMES: 1. Caterpillar treasure hunt: Each child was given a specific color caterpillar to search for (i.e., red, pink, blue) Caterpillars were made out of 6 1/4 inch sized pom poms glued together to resemble a caterpillar. Each child found their colored (10 per person) caterpillars. There was one "special" caterpillar that was multi-colored. Whoever found that won a special prize(butterfly hair accessory).All other children received a piece of bubblegum for each caterpillar they found. 2. COTTONCANDY COCOON EATING CONTEST: I bought packages of cotton candy and a package of clothes pins. Balls of cotton candy to a clothes line by a clothes pin. Each child lined up in front of a "cocoon" with their hands held behind their back and ate away at the cottoncandy cocoon. First person to finish won a prize. 3. PIN THE BODY ON THE BUTTERFLY: Using posterboard, I cut out brown oblong shaped pieces for the butterfly body attachments. Using whiteposter board cut out a butterfly shape and decorated the wings with markers. 4. This was an outdoor party, the rest of our group/relay games were in the pool.
