Daniel Tiger Birthday Party with Free Printables!

July 2, 2015 by Laura Meckley 46 Comments

As previously mentioned, I thought we would be doing a Peppa Pig birthday party for Miss Elliott. However, she insisted she wanted a Daniel Tiger theme party so that’s what we did! I started with lot of great free resources from PBS and of course I had to add some of my own touches.

You can see the trolley prop, which I talked a bit about before. I originally planned to use it to hold food, but the top piece was not large or sturdy enough for that, so it was simply used for decoration only.

I bought the Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood Friends Figures Set from Amazon, and took them into our local Hy-Vee grocery store. I found another cake that was kind of outdoorsy (I think it was a Mickey Mouse cake actually, Mickey was driving around or something) and asked them to use our Daniel Tiger figurines instead. Turned out just fine, I think!

I printed her t-shirt iron on, and you could do something similar with these kinds of ink jet transfer papers.

Guests were greeted with a large poster and a couple signs. I added a few tissue paper poms, which I decided to buy instead of make myself, but it’s pretty easy to do. (Here’s a good tutorial on how to make your own tissue paper poms.) We had several sticker quotes with Daniel and his friends around the house in different rooms…even the bathroom!

I bought colorful tableware and stuck the circle stickers on paper cups.

The menu consisted of:

  • Daniel Tiger’s Gluten Free Veggie Spaghetti (actual vegetable noodles, or zoodles, which I made with my nifty Spiralizer tool!)
  • Miss Elaina’s Gluten Free Meatballs
  • Katerina Kittycat’s Carrots & Peppers
  • O the Owl’s Onion Dip
  • Prince Wednesday’s Pasta Salad
  • Tiger Tails
  • Royal Gluten Free Blueberry Buckle

I made a giant Daniel Tiger sticker and created “Stick the Nose on Daniel Tiger” which the kids loved! They thought it was HILARIOUS to intentionally put his nose on his ear. Almost two months later and giant Daniel is still on our sliding glass door! (But, that’s nothing…some of our Frozen decor is still up going on almost a year now!)

One of Elliott’s favorite toys was the Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood Bungalow Adventure Playset to go along with her other figurines.

When it was all over we sent out some cute “Ugga Mugga” thank you notes with her very own custom address labels.

It was a fun party! My big girl seemed happy with the results. =) (Don’t ask me why she refused to wear the coordinating red leggings I had for her, but at least I got a decent photo before she got “Tiger Tail” Cheetos dust all over her white shirt!)

Update & Frozen 4th Birthday Party

July 27, 2014 by Laura Meckley 1 Comment

Hello?

::taps on screen::

Anyone out there?

It’s been quite some time since I’ve posted, and sadly Felt Fun Fridays came to a screeching halt a couple months ago. If you’re a fan of my Facebook page you may have seen some of my brief updates in which I mentioned my husband got a promotion so we moved our entire household and workshop.

We were lucky in that our house was put on the market and sold in a matter of maybe 5 days. But in the midst of all that we also took an amazing cruise to Alaska. We celebrated birthdays, finished preschool, madly worked on Halloween inventory, packed, moved, unpacked, and are now trying to get settled in our new home.

Things are good, things are crazy, but they are getting back to our new “normal”.

Despite all the craziness, I’m very excited we were able to throw Kayden a “Frozen 4th” birthday party in the new house. Like many of you, I spent countless hours scanning Pinterest for all the wonderful ideas and recipes, planning this AMAZING party in my head.

At the last minute when I was near breaking point (and tears) because I wasn’t able to produce what I deemed a “pinterest worthy” party, I decided to just let it go (pun TOTALLY intended!) and be happy with what we were able to accomplish. In my mind I had these fantastic visions of a gorgeous 3-tier cake with flawless icing and amazing detail, delicious gourmet food, and a fully decorated house from room to room…sound familiar?

Frozen 4th Birthday Party

I finally realized, WHO CARES?! (I also realized I need to stay off Pinterest so much!) Kayden was super excited and pleased, so that was enough for me. Look at her smile! =) I did serve theme-related food, and luckily Kayden wanted a very simple cake (whew!) so I did a very basic two layer blue raspberry jello cake with whipped cream frosting. I’ll be honest, I didn’t like it. LOL It looked cute enough, but I MUCH prefer my jello cake to be made with strawberry jello.

Frozen Birthday Party Food

Pssst!! I thought I would share with you the table tents I made. You can get the free printable HERE. I even left some blanks so you can add whatever title(s) you choose. =)

Decorations were pretty simple. I found some printables online and turned them into “Sticklies” with my restickable material, and made a couple Ana & Elsa window clings. I also made a giant Oalf {Restickable} Stickamajigger so they could build a snowman.

While we were in Alaska I found this awesome “Snow to Go” and the kids loved playing with bowls of that. (I actually saw something similar on Amazon and was thinking about ordering it until I found the little bag in Alaska.)

Frozen Birthday Party - Snow to Go

I already knew from experience to put them outside when playing with the Snow to Go because I tried another Pinterest project not long before that where you mix baking soda and lotion to create a snow-like substance. Lots of fun, but also lots of work to clean up! They played with their little Frozen figurine dolls and had a great time with both recipes.

Frozen Figurines in Fake Snow

I originally bought those figurines to put on Kayden’s cake, but I asked her if she wanted them on the cake or just the plain version. Much to my surprise she wanted the plain cake! (So WHY was I so worked up over this party??)

We actually had a separate celebration with my family a week prior to her Frozen Party, so I made a Coconut Cream poke cake with the figurines on top. I thought THIS cake was super delicious! (Another Pinterest recipe find!)

So although it wasn’t as spectacular as the party I planned in my mind, it was still perfect. Everyone had fun, and most importantly my little Snow Queen was pleased with it, and that’s all that matters. =)

Felt for a Good Cause: {Awareness Ribbons}

April 4, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

Felt for a Good Cause: Awareness Ribbons

Today’s Felt Fun Friday post was inspired by a Facebook fan who shared these photos with me. Blue felt awareness ribbons were used as part of a centerpiece at a fundraiser for a dear friend of hers. (You can read his story here. If you are in a position to help financially please do, every dollar counts!)

Felt Awareness Ribbons

I thought it was a fabulous idea! Felt comes in soooo many wonderful colors and patterns, you could use it to make ribbons for any cause. You can look up the list of awareness ribbon colors to find the right color(s) or pattern if you’re unsure which ones to use.

I put together a printable template for you too, in case you would like to make your own felt awareness ribbons.

Awareness Ribbon Printable

The ribbons are 6″ tall, but you may be able to resize on your computer as needed. I included two styles – a single color ribbon, and another with a contrasting outline, or to be used for multi-colored awareness ribbons.

Let’s raise awareness and help one another! Live well, be strong, fight hard.
