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.

Macarons from The French Market

Again, using only our color palette!

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

A Traveler's Party! -Part One-

I'm sharing with you my son's 8th birthday party, themed for travel due to his interest in other countries and maps and even different languages! He helped choose which countries we would feature on the party and the different elements that would be presented on each country table.  Yes, we 'traveled around the world' by presenting a table for each country selected; so here we go.....

PACK YOUR BAGS...a 'check in table'!
