April Showers Birthday Party

Party Details: 3rd Birthday Party
Colors: Shades of blue and accent of rainbows
Desserts: Rainboot and cloud cookies, raindrop cupcakes, s' mores bar, and rain drop cake pops
Activities: Rainbow making station, a quick and easy craft for 3 year olds using lots of glue, rainbow colored pasta, and cotton balls



And of course there were
a few desserts...




S'more Bar


Rain Puddle
Cupcakes



It's raining, it's pouring (both inside and out!)


April Showers Bring May Flowers
favor bags with flower cookies inside

Paper Cups & Silverware

It was a fantastic party and everyone had a great time! The BEST compliment of the day came from my biggest bugger who has told us that he now wants the same exact party for his June birthday! 


A HUGE thank you to Amy Atlas for featuring the party on her fabulous site!!!
