Landon's First Birthday Party- Sneak Peek

I promised you all a little peek at what I've been doing for Landon's birthday party, so here it is!

I covered soup cans with scrapbook paper and ribbon and we will use these to hold the forks and knives for the pizza (we have several kids coming, so parents will have to cut up pizza, myself included) and cake.

Party favors for the kids. I got the animal print Chinese take-put style boxes at Michael's and each one has a jungle animal hand puppet inside. The stickers are from Oriental Trading and I just wrote names on them.

Landon's high chair decoration (drying in the kitchen where the cat can't get it). I freakin love this, but it took me a little while to make. It was pretty easy though and all I did was cut ribbon, attach the glittery ribbons to the yellow ribbon with adhesive dots, and then glue the orange ribbon on top. I wasn't planning on doing the orange ribbon, but you could see the adhesive dots through the light yellow ribbon, so this was my solution to hide them. Even Jeff said this was pretty cool and I cannot wait to see it on Landon's high chair, which we are bringing to the party site.

This is about as crafty as I get haha! The only other thing I am "making" for the party are coloring pages for the kids. I'm printing a bunch of jungle animal coloring book pages from the internet, providing crayons, and letting the kids color them however they want. I also got more of those stickers I used for the favor boxes because they also come with all of the facial features and stuff to make your own jungle animals. The party is only 2 hours, so I figured between pizza, cake, and these few activities, the kids coming should be entertained.

I can't believe how close the party is now! I pretty much have everything I need to decorate, and I'm excited to see how it all comes together!
