celebration: Arts-N-Crafts Birthday Activities

Wednesday, November 7, 2012 3 Comments

Yesterday I shared with you how V started off her third birthday – with a balloon spectacular!  Today, I am sharing with you all the activities we did at little miss V’s birthday party.

Her birthday theme was Arts-N-Crafts.  I knew a while ago, because she enjoys doing crafts, painting, & coloring, that this would be the theme I was running with.  And with such a broad description, it was very easy to create activities that went along with it.  This was especially true for someone like me who waits until a couple of days before to start planning!

I set up three art stations for the kiddos (& adults too!) for arts-n-crafts, so that there was always something to do, & there were no kiddos waiting to do a project.  We had 10 little ones at her party – so my goal was to keep them BUSY!





So, here we go!  Are you ready?  Just click on each art station picture to be brought to the individual tutorial :)

One of V’s favorite activities, that we have done many times over is the pipe cleaner beaded bracelets with pasta & beads (so this one was an obvious & easy choice).

Station # 2 was something new & my all time favorite from the party!

So fun, that I may have to whip this out for Thanksgiving or Christmas pre-dinner fun!

We made paper plate portraits :)

The third art station, was a little messier than the other two, but it was the kiddos’ FAVORITE one!

We made cornstarch spray paint & let the kiddos spray away releasing their inner Jackson Pollock.

Well, that is it for the activity part of little miss V’s third birthday party – whew!

Food is next – YAY!

I think we had a good selection of activities overall, despite my poor planning.

What would you add to the mix for an Arts-N-Crafts themed birthday party?

Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟 🤗 How did you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟

🤗 How did you celebrate the arrival of 2021? 

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good! 

🍈Fig spread, goat cheese, & 2 large crackers is from @wholefoods 
🍇Grapes are from @costco (they have the best grapes!)
🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.
🧀Everything else is from @traderjoes

Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!! Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!!🤗 (now if all my other mail I’m waiting on would arrive 🧐😩)

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 I’m grateful th Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 
I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
