Party Recap

My little one loves to be outside, so we decided on a party at the park for his 2nd birthday! I decided on a bug theme due to the outdoor location and I just can't get enough of the printables from Sweet Gumdrop on Etsy.
The food was in keeping with the theme..of course! Butterfly pasta salad, candies and trailmix for the bug bites and beetle juice were some of the fun treats. We also had gorgeous caterpillar sugar cookies from the oh so talented Amanda Morris at Semi Sweet Confections. They are always beautiful and most importantly taste amazing. The centerpiece of the table was the lovely cake from Magda's Cakes. I always just give her a copy of the invite for inspiration and she is spot on every time!
Activities included digging for bugs, building a bug jar, and balloon art by Marcie the Balloon Fairy!
For favors I found the bug catching kits at the Dollar Tree and stuffed them with gummy worms!
Since we were outside kept it super simple, no table cloths just some fun tissue grass for the dessert table. Bugs and other décor were from Oriental Trading and Birthday Direct. Also found some of the bugs in the party favor section at Walmart. Enjoy!

    Hi! For the dig for bugs activity, what kind of soil did you use? I just want to make sure that it’ll be safe for the little ones. Thanks :)
