Candyland Party

This year Boo's birthday party theme was "Candyland."

We had plenty of inspiration for this fun party from this site. Here are some pictures I took at Boo's party!
The candy buffet was made up of favorite candies I had bought on sale whenever possible, beginning a few weeks before the party. Most of the containers are from the $Tree.






A pad of construction paper was used to create this Candyland path.





My oldest, Miss Independent, painted this "Gingerbread Tree" for a bean bag toss game. The party guests earned tickets based on how many of three bean bags they tossed through the openings.



We used a piece of foam and painted it for our Princess Lolli lollipop game. The kids each pulled out a lollipop, the color at the end of the lollipop stick earned them one, two, or three tickets (at the end of the party tickets earned at various stations were exchanged for prizes).









Party guests visited Princess Frostine, making ice cream creations at her station. My second daughter wore a beautiful light green satin evening gown we found at Goodwill for $6 to portray the character.







Here is a picture of the prizes the kids could "buy" with the paper tickets they had earned at each station (everything, including tickets was bought at the $Store or $1 area of a store).










The kids also dug through a baby pool filled with fake snow to find Candy Canes at Mister Mint's station, and tossed peanuts in metal buckets at Grandma Nuts.

Then it was time for cake! Miss Independent made the cake, using homemade marshmallow fondant. I am so proud of her for taking the time to create this beautiful Candyland cake for her sister's birthday!









Happy Birthday, Boo!
