Goodnight Moon Party

Elise's favorite book is Goodnight Moon. In the weeks before her 2nd birthday, her big sisters quizzed her repeatedly on what kind of party she wanted. They offered Dora, Barbie, Wonder Pets, and any other show or book she has ever liked. She was firm in her decision on Goodnight Moon. : )

As a book lover, it warmed my heart. As the party planner, maybe not so much. I knew I wasn't going to be buying the party supplies at any store. But, with a LOT of help from my artist sister, we pulled it off pretty easily.

My sister made the 3 Bears Sitting On Chairs



These popcorn bowls turned out so cute. They looked like little kitchen hats. I took 2 coffee filters and wrapped them around a plastic cup, tied the ribbon on and folded down the edges, then slid the plastic cup out.


I made another Dollar Store tiered tray tutorial here: http://thatslifekids.blogspot.com/2011/05/lets-get-this-party-started.html


My sister made the quiet old lady out of panty hose and a stuffed rabbit. Brilliant! Notice the Cow Jumping Over The Moon picture on the wall that she made also. I copied the kittens onto cardstock and propped them up with clothespins glued to the backs.




The window was made from poster board and the stars and moon were made with white tissue paper.
