Four-esta Celebration

Skippyjon Jones has been a fixture in our house for the last few years. We have almost every book including an autographed copy of Cirque de Ole and a loved plush Skippyjon. So when I came across an idea on Pinterest for a Skippyjon themed birthday party last year, the Four-esta Celebration planning began. I based the party on 2 books from the series - the original Skippyjon Jones and Skippyjon Jones & the Big Bones.

• What People Ate

  Chicken Minis & fresh fruit from Chickfila, cheese cubes, mix of hot air popped & colorful fruit flavored popcorn, and mini cupcakes.

• Desserts

  Mini cupcakes with DIY toppers.

• Party Favors

  Small wooden maracas, DIY bookmark made by my son & me, bag of jelly beans from the piñata, dinosaur "fossil" from the dig.

• Activities / Games

  Dinosaur fossil dig in the sandbox based on the book "Skippyjon Jones and the Big Bones." Pull string piñata filled with small bags of jelly beans based on the original "Skippyjon Jones" book. Otherwise, the kids all 4 and under had free play in our playroom and outside in the backyard.
