My little girl recently turned two. We invited a few people over where we ...
Ate some cake.
Played some games.
I was dealing with two-year-olds and 4-year-olds. I needed the games to be simple, but entertaining. I first gathered some treats and prizes and separated them into separate baskets.
I then blew up 10 balloons with a slip of paper inside that either had a 1 or 2 on it. Each kid, and adult, had to pop the balloon with a pin or their body to get the paper out. Which ever number they got, that was the basket they got to chose from.
The second game was apparently THE HARDEST game the kids had ever played! The goal was to get the bean bag into any of the targets. Once they made it, they got to choose from the opposite basket they didn't get in the balloon game. I started out all strict and wanted the kids to stand behind a line that wasn't that far away--so I thought. I had an "ah-ha" moment and let the kids stand where ever they wanted to make the basket. The two-year-olds stood above the targets and the four-year-olds were about a foot away!
And opened presents.
Jovi got spoiled and I'm okay with that. It's her birthday and she should get a special day were she gets treated a little different.
**I need to take pictures of people!
Looks like a success! How hard was it to make that zebra cake? I'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteNot as hard as you would think! It was basically taking two cakes and adding 1/4 cup of batter on top of each other until the pan was 2/3 full.
DeleteThe games were so cute and the cake was SOOOOOOO good! And so pretty!
