Theme: Pond Invitation: ___ is turning 1.  Swim, waddle, or hop on over to the ___(last name)pond, on ____ (date). It would be just ducky if you could make it. You will have a splashing good time. So, hop to it and R.S.V.P. Food: Cake- 3-D duck made from a 1 1/2 qt cake baked in a bowl, two 10 oz custard cup cakes and one 6 oz custard cup cake. Snacks- chex mix, fish crackers and chips served in beach pails. Treat- Jell-o Fish bags made from blue jello in a zip lock bag with fish crackers. Children made their fish swim around by squishing them around in the plastic bags. Then they ate them with a spoon. Beverage: Blue punch with rubber ducks floating on top. Foating in the punch I put ice cubes with plastic fish froze in them. Decorations and dinnerwear: Green streamers (weeds), paper fish hung to look like a stringer of fish, Hefty paper pond animal shaped plates, blue cups with each child's name on them, yellow, green and blue helium balloons and a blue table cloth. On the table at each place I put a fish coloring sheet and a pack of crayons that they used while they were waiting for their cake and ice cream.  They then got to take thier crayons, pictures and cups home with them. Games: Fishing Game-Made from a dowel, card board and velcro. The pond was cut from tag board with lilly pads on it. The other side had one lilly pad on that we used for a different game. The children just laid the fish on the pond and tried to catch them using the velcro.  Then we played Duck, Duck, Goose. Next we played pin the frog on the lilly pad.  On the other side of the pond was one lilly pad glued in the middle.  The kids had to try to get their frog as close to the lilly pad as they could.  Last we played leap frog. The children had to stand at a staring place and leap as far as they could.  They then placed thier frog in that spot.  Then the next child did the same and put his/her frog down. Then we checked to see who could hop the furthest. Party Favors: Small containers of play-dough with pond animal shaped cookie cutters, duck bath tub body sponge, their crayons, their cups with their names on them helium balloons and other small trinkets.
