Ellie decided she wanted a Mickey Mouse themed party. She is also a fan of balloons and party hats. This is what I came up with for party favors/decorations:
Ellie always wants to wear party hats. Of course we had to have those! I saw a picture similar to these and thought they would be pretty easy to make. The girls had bows (for Minnie) and the boys' were plain. Ellie liked them so much that she asked for party hats to take to day-care the night before her birthday... I think it took me 2 hours to make 16 hats. Thank goodness I had enough black cardstock on hand!
The Dollar Tree has these for $1 each! We used them for decorations AND party favors! Ellie loved it when she walked into our bedroom and there for almost 20 balloons on the ceiling!
I wanted to give a party favor that would be useful. I saw these Crayon Caddies on a friend's blog and I thought they would be perfect. They were not that hard to make either! Directions came from here: http://www.skiptomylou.org/2007/04/25/on-a-roll/
Of course you cannot have Crayons without a coloring book--- so I put one of those together and printed them out.
We made something similar to this at a Card Club gathering I went to. I thought it would be the perfect idea to top off the party favor (and super easy to make as well)!
The Crayon Caddie served as the weight for the balloon. I attached the three ideas with the ribbon from the balloon and it was all ready to go! I used them as table decorations and scattered the remaining ones around the house. Then at the end of the party the kids got to pick one out to take home.
Here is the finished product!
