Art Party

Today we had Bailey's ballet group friends over for a art themed playdate. I have been wanting to do an art party for Bailey for a while now so this was just a little taste of what I can do in the future as she gets a little older and is able to do more artsy projects. ;) I think this theme would make a great party for a 6 or 7 year old!!! I can't wait!! The activity possibilities with this kind of party are endless!!! But of course today, with 5 four year old girls we stuck to the basics...one little painting craft, lots of playtime, lunch, and OF COURSE, dessert!



So first up I have to show you what my poor little Bailey did for almost an hour before the party. Starting at 8:45 in the morning (party was at 10:30) she'd ask, every 2 minutes, "are my friends here yet?" Finally at 9:30 I said, "Bailey no! They're not here. Why don't you go wait by the door?"



Didn't think she would, but she did...



She set up two chairs by the door. One for her and one for sister.

The art buffet...

I loved creating this fun and colorful lunch table!!

Time to make some art!










After painting it was time for the girls to have lunch. They each had their own lunch sack w/ their first inital embroidered on the top. After lunch the girls filled their bags with craft supplies from the art buffet!
