More birthday planning ...

I am still trying to pull together a few things for the party next week. This is a little panda mask I made for the kids - I still have to adjust the sizing for the kids head's though.



The activities for the party will be:

1. Musical "panda footprints" : Instead of chairs I just print/paint a themed picture on about 8 pieces of paper/cardboard. They are easy to move around and less bulky and dangerous than chairs.
2. Pin the bamboo on the Panda
3. Craft: TBD
4. Spin the bottle "Panda/Chinese" charades where the kids spin the bottle. The person whom the bottle points pulls out a little rolled up paper out of the bottle. They read this and act out the word while the other children guess.
5. Tossing game: TBD

Pandas

Yes, that is the theme chosen by my soon to be 7 year old for her birthday party. So I am finally getting around to making up the invitations.

The pandas, bamboo, and footprints were drawn in photoshop with basic ellipse/round tool. My daughter loved it and had a lot of fun making the bamboo. Now I just have to find the time and energy to make up a few games, decorations, and a craft to do.

Here are two pretty treasuries from Etsy to share ... The first has one of my needle felted nests of eggs and the second a pair of my red love birds.
