FUN: we made Butterfly Town(the idea i got right here)this was a seperate tent from the party area. I put a rectangle tent(20x10) w/ white screens that tie back, w/ flower laterns(i had from my 25th bday this year) that lined the opening from each screen, set up booths w/ signs that read: "Carly's Butterfly Town", Butterfly Salon, Caterpillar Cafe, Butterfly bank, Butterfly boutique,& Butterfly bakery each booth had activities & prizes placed on each table that coordinated w/ the sign & paper BF's printed on paper(part of the games) & feather BF's to add a touch of loveliness. I made Butterfly bucks that i printed & made on the PC w/ more clipart that the kids earned from playing on the games. BF Salon: had face painting & tattoos. BF Bakery & Cafe: cookie decorating w/ gel frosting & sugar all in assorted colors. BF Bank: i play'd banker & they recieve BF buck$ when they turned in their game sheets from the games. BF boutique: shopping bag decorating(brown paper bags decorated w/ many stickers, stamps, glitter glue, buttons & funky scissors: from my kraft collections). The Kids had a blast participating in these activities because wanted to earn lots of bucks to shop afterwards. The kids could buy lots of surPRIZES that we bought at Pricebusters & at orientaltrading.com. We BF stamps, bubbles, stickers, pens, pencils, note books, balls & stationary, and lots of non-BF stuff like mini deodorants for the older ones, nail polish, mini water games & basket games, keychains, more tattoos, stickers, pens&pencils, lip gloss, chips, juices, candy, water guns, play dough & ooooohhhh gosh too much stuff too remember. GAMES: BF Toss: recycled milk cans(powder milk for baby) w/ printed butterflies on it glue to each can & handmade bean bags. Penny Drop: baby food jars that they dropped pennies in it. BF reading mat: We borrowed the "HUNGRY CATERPILLAR" & 5 other books which my gramma read to the kids & the were VERY well-behaved & they all asked questions & said their opinions about each book. Jumping Castle:(from a friend) hours of fun. Cocoon Race: extra-large pillowcases that the kids got into and had to race & hop'd to the finish line 1st one there won. Cocoon Scoop: cotton balls that were scoop using the powdered milk "scooper" the kids had to fill a plastic cup to the top 1st to the top won. BF Hunt: we taped & hung BF's that i printed from the PC again all over the game tent & walls around the area for them to find & turn in for points(this was part of the decor too). Go BF!: its like fishing, but we used Scoop nets and they got paper BF's that they earned points or points & a Candy. BF Ring Dance: basic muscial chairs & mats for the babies to crawls on & around. BF Bowling:plastic water bottle for pins & soft balls from(25th bday again). Each kid play'd the games and was given a bag(leftover fabric from a friend sew'd w/ a drawstring) to hold their bucks & paper BF's to turn to the BF bank. It started to rain so the games were stopped and the kids patiently waited while BF town employees put up the set up each station w/ the surPRIZES mentioned above in "BF TOWN", I think this was the most FUN time & event of the party the kids were smiling from ear to ear. They enjoyed every minute of browsing, counting & paying each person for the items. They used their counting skills & bodies (to play each games)to have GREAT FUN. We also rented a cotton candy machine( which the kids name candy cocoons) & used my uncles shave ice machine, which was another lovely touch for the kids. ENTERTAINMENT:we had hawaiian cds & hip-hop cds my uncle played w/ his PA system. We had another Uncle & my cousins sing w/ their band. A family friend's halau(group) danced hula & chanted, a couple family members danced tahitian & more hula songs.
