For my son's 4th birthday we had a Jake & the Neverlands party complete with tons of games! Kirsten and I like to make as much stuff as we can and challenge ourselves to make most of it out of "junk" or leftovers from our office. Come on in....... "Dress like a Pirate and Walk da Plank" My husband screwed two boards together, Tyler and I painted the words, we had the crates, blue tarp from wal-mart, small crocs from dollar tree and the rest is below.... The croc was made from green bubble wrap we found in the mailroom at work. The croc legs are made from cardboard boxes painted green, glued and tied with yarn. We made the croc body "sections" with rubber bands and the spikes on his back are cut from a rubber hand we found at the dollar store. Googly eyes and white styrofoam balls from hobby lobby. Pirate hats made from black foam sheets. The original plan was to cut these using the cricut but that didn't work (even with a deep housing blade) so we cut a template and traced onto the black foam sheets. These were super easy to cut out by hand. Embellished with red glitter glue. Measured and secured with elastic (dress rehearsal required!) Jake's spyglass. The spyglasses were made out of paper towel rolls, black paper and gold duct tape. Super easy! We secured the black paper to the rolls with hot glue. Again, dress rehearsal required. ;-p Every pirate party needs swords but we didn't want to fork over $3 per sword for the party and we wanted them to be a little safe (the kids ARE 4...) so we decided to make our own out of cardboard. I cut a sword template with my cricut (two cuts taped together) and we found the perfect box by our freight elevator. We traced the swords and cut with a box knife. We gave the swords stability with some popscicle sticks and painted them blue and red (black handles). Testing the sword stability. (LOL!) I'm gonna stop right here and make a note about our crafty blog name, Corporate Crafters. Do you see the view in most of these pictures?! It's pretty nice, huh?! ha! Kirsten and I do the majority of our crafting during our lunch hour in the vacant office next to mine. We are here 9 hours a day with an hour commute each way......when else do we have time to do these fun things?! You wouldn't believe the amount of stuff you can get done in 1 hour! Back to the party...... "Shark Infested Waters" The object of this game was to "hook" as many necklaces as you could before the sharks attacked! Green tub is from our farm, sharks from dollar tree, beads from oriental trading and my sis in law, hooks..we made! Red solo cup, wire hangers, foil We made the hook part out of wire hangers and pushed them through the bottom of the solo cup. Make sure and leave enough hanger so the kids can grab and hold the hook inside the cup. Cutting the wire was SO hard. I had to used all of my body weight to make a "simple" cut. Kirsten captured a bit of this on video..... Dress rehearsal. (I texted this picture to several of our friends asking "arrrrgh you ready to parrrty?!" At this point, I think I had forgotten that this party was not for me...hehe.) "Trolling for Booty" We always have fishing at our parties so we tailored this for a pirate party and added crocs to the sheet. The kids used a real fishing pole and caught Jake fruit snacks from HEB. "Tic Toc Croc Bean Bag Toss" Kirsten painted this bad boy!!! The red is a table cloth so the bags would fall behind. We also used this as a photo booth of sorts. "Buried Treasure" The treasure box was not one of our favorites projects UNTIL it was done and now it's one of our favorites. I don't have any crafting pictures but we wrapped a paper box with brown paper, outlined with gold duct tape, drew planks with a black marker, secured a pirate hat to the front, and zip tied the lid on. I'm not a fan of sand so we used rice! The kids dug for necklaces, doubloons, rings and bracelets. Wal-Mart has Jake cups that we used to collect their loot. "Jake's Tattoo Shop" (tattoos from the dollar spot at Target) I didn't get a very good picture of the "ship rides" but you get the idea....... (tractor rides are also always a part of our parties so I made a mast, hung colorful streamers on the trailer and we called it a ship ride!) The masts were easy to make! I bought some cheap mops and back scratchers from the dollar store and secured them together with hot glue and twine. The red and white striped fabric was from Wal-Mart. I secured the fabric to the cross bars (back scratchers) with hot glue. Jake printable from the Disney website (safety pinned) One of my favorite games was the "Cannonball Fights" I used large cardboard boxes and covered them with table cloths, zip tied a mast on each and called them ships. I was trying to make the cannonballs safe for little ones so I ordered pirate and ship themed beach balls from oriental trading! The games were a huge hit amongst the kids and adults!

Oh, my Gracie Girl. How I love that child. I simply cannot believe that she is turning one at the end of March. I keep redoing the math and checking my calendar just to be sure that it really is here. Gracie, on the other hand, has been counting down the days. I think she thinks she gets a drivers license on her first birthday. I haven’t had the heart to tell her that the only car she’s getting will be made by Fisher Price. And have pedals. I really need to start planning Gracie’s birthday party, but there’s been so much going on that I haven’t sat down yet to really think it through. I do know that I’m going with a “You Are My Sunshine” theme. There will be lots of yellow and white, lots of daisies and baby’s breath, and lots of sunshine and cloud balloons (because Pinterest has me believing that I can just whip up balloon figures now…). I think I’m going to try to bring in some pink and maybe a few brighter colors, too, just to give it some pizzazz. All the pictures I’ve seen online (Pinterest strikes again!) have given me great ideas, but I think adding some more color would make it much more playful. I mean, it is a first birthday party, and not a champagne brunch… (I do love this white ruffled table cloth, don’t you?) Last weekend I bought this outdoor table cloth at Target for our deck table. I thought it added just the right amount of color, especially if there were yellow and white decorations and place settings on the table. And I definitely think I’m going to try making this tissue paper wreath for our front door, but using yellow tissue paper. I thought that would be super cute with maybe a big pink and white gingham or polk-a-dot bow on it, maybe? And I found this on Pinterest, too, and I think it would be really cute to try and make. I’ll be honest, though, I doubt very seriously that I will have the patience or the time to make something this cute. But, maybe I could do a giant flower pot with these photo flowers sticking out of it instead? That might save some time. Whatever I do, it’s going to be low key and easy. I went back and forth about whether or not to have a big party for her birthday, with friends and some of her classmates from school. But then I reconsidered. I mean, one is tough for entertaining. It’s not like she would really play with anyone yet. I remember Bean’s two-year-old party was fun to have friends at, but for the first birthday, I think family will be better. We’re sticking with family and a few close friends for this soiree. But, of course, that means all my imaginary friends get to attend via my blog posts, of course! Puffalump is getting bigger and bigger every day. She’s crawling, cruising, and standing like a champ. She keeps us on our toes more than ever, but I guess that’s what one year olds do, isn’t it? One year olds. Oh, man. HOW IS SHE A YEAR OLD ALREADY?!?!
