It's puppy party time!
My daughter LOVES puppies, in fact she pretty much thinks she is one. So it was no surprise that for her third birthday she wanted a puppy party! There are so many things you can do to create the perfect puppy party... if you have the time. I was a little short on time so I threw together a super quick puppy party that made my little puppy so happy! Truly even the cake is so quick & easy!
CREATE A LEASH FOR YOUR PUPPY
You Will Need:
~puppies (I found some on leashes at the dollar store)
~Pipe cleaners
~Beads
This craft required little prep & the kids loved it!
PUPPY EARS
You Will Need:
~Head bands
~Decorative Paper
~Tape
~Pencil
Draw puppy ears on some decorative paper, cut them out & tape them to a head band - easy peasy puppy ears! You can paint the kids faces to complete the puppy look but I chose not to (our house is on the market and we were having an open house the next day so I couldn't risk getting a puppy nose on the sofa ;)
DECORATIVE FRINGE
You Will Need:
~Tissue paper
~Hole punch
~Fishing Wire (or string)
~Scissors
This fringe isn't necessarily puppy related but I needed a quick decoration that was fun & colourful! I used tissue paper in 4 colours (pale pink, white, purple & dark pink).
~Place single sheets of tissue paper on top of each other.
~Fold top of paper down 4 inches.
~Hole punch acroos the top.
~Weave wire or string through holes
~tie string on each and through hole.
~Cut strips about an inch wide.
PUPPY CAKE
You Will Need:
~Cake mix
~8" round cake pan
~Premade icing
~Food colouring
~Icing bag
~Licorice
~Bake 2 round cakes (You will only need one box of cake mix).
~Place one in the center
~Cut the other cake in half (my plate was small so I had to cut a little extra off the ears).
~Mix your icing to whatever colour you choose.
~Start decorating! (I used licorice for the nose, whisker holes & mouth outline.
BALLOON PUPPIES
You Will Need:
~Balloons
~Decorative paper
~Permanent Marker
~Tape
All you need to do here is draw your puppy face and stick on those ears! I used the same ears as the head band to keep things simple.
