The theme this year was "Lady Bug Picnic." I made up some invitations using a scene from the Lady Bug Picnic from Seasame Street (where the ladybugs are sitting around the picnic blanket with a big 4 on it). We picked up a bunch of butterfly and bee wings at the dollar store for any guests who were without "bug" attire. I also found some cute little plastic bug boxes online and used those as goody bags. We filled them with little ladybug rings, temporary bug tattoos, a magnifying glass, some fake bugs, and bubbles.
One of the games we played was the famous sack race. This was a must to go with our Lady Bug Picnic ("They had 12 sacks, so they ran sack races... and they fell on their backs and they fell on their faces").
Even some adults joined in... though the pillowcases I picked up at Marden's were a bit small for the older guests ;)
Pinata!!!
We also had a castle for the guests to color. This was supposed to be for last year's party, but it was hidden in a closet and forgotten about. It was a hit anyways ;)
We had a tic-tac-toe game to play as well. This worked well for the smaller guests ;)
These are my sad attempts at "bug" cupcakes. I foolishly purchased some new dark tins and I didn't get the timing down for the cupcakes... so they look goofy...
Cakie time! I had a tin to make a football or Easter egg cake, so using each section separately worked well for two ladybugs ;)
Eowyn got a ladybug pop-up tent that all the kids had fun playing in =)
And the bubbles were a hit as well ;)
