Honorable Mention

We had a Mary Poppins party for my daughter's 2nd birthday.  She was obsessed with the movie but I was frustrated trying to find Poppins party supplies.  I had a book with color photos and made color copies.  I cut out several pictures, glued them to 11x14 pieces of paper and wrote "It's a Jolly Holiday with _________"(each guest's name) on top.  I then laminated them to use a placemats at the party. 

I also enlarged some photos and glued onto poster board.  One poster's title read "Have a SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS Birthday!"  Another poster was used to play "Pin The Robin on Mary Poppins".  Each child had a cut-out of a robin and blindfolded, tried to pin it on Mary's finger. 

For decorations, I bought a black straw hat and glued cherries and daisies on it.  I also found a white lace umbrella in the wedding shower section of a party store. I had an old vase with a picture of a carousel on it and placed flowers inside for the centerpiece.  Finally, I used tea party paper tablecloths and napkins. 

A local baker will use photos to decorate cakes and she was able to reproduce the video picture on the cake.  Disney sells a CD with some "greatest hits" and I purchased the one with the 3 Poppins songs.  The kids enjoyed playing musical chairs and dancing to "A Spoonful of Sugar" and "It's a Jolly Holiday with Mary".  We all had a wonderful time!
