A Traveler's Party -Part Two-

"TRAVELING AROUND THE WORLD"

France

{ Sweets and Painting Activity }

 

It is extremely difficult to maintain desserts at an outside party on a hot summer day, nevertheless....I tried!  Cakepops got a little melted and they started looking like real paint but I think the idea came across and I had extras inside!...Painting in France ladies and gents!  With CAKEPOPS!!  I was inspired by Terri's Treasures' Cakepops created for Paper and Cake's Art Party Printables {which is a must see} and I created the look using our party's color palette.

 

Our entire table featuring an art/painting theme with petit fours and macarons from our local French Market.

Germany

{ Drinks Table and Game }

Drinks were coordinated to represent the color of the Germany Flag

For game we played Koffer Packen which translates to The Suitcase Game which I found at eHow.com. "The children sit in a circle and create a song by adding their own individual phrases to the existing phrase. The child who starts the game sings the sentence, "I packed my suitcase and place a book inside." Then, the child sitting to the left of the starter must sing the sentence and add his own phrase'...and so on
