Yogurt Pops

I'm doing these for the kids this summer, they will love them but if you are looking for some healthy party treats yum!!

Cupcake dip

I love a mini cup cake, I make mini muffins all the time for my Madam 4&1/2's lunch box and for treats while we are out. I don't know many kids who wouldn't love this, yes its going to get messy and I expect just as many fingers as cupcakes will get dipped but such joy.

Things that POP - Baby shower idea

Next baby shower has to have this table!

Obstacle course - Why not

Are you going to have a room full over excited kids at your next party? Exhaust them by setting up and obstacle course! It doesn't have to be fancy or huge (they can go round several times), it just requires some parent sideline enthusiasm!

These are just cheapy Christmas deco's hanging with ribbon and it looks so cool.

Fairy floss on glow sticks - Pretty cool huh

Photo booth? Ok this would require a bit of effort and some artistic flare but would certainly give everyone a giggle.

Cool DIY Garland? You could paint the dull side to match your colour theme.

Salt Dough Starfish Garland

Any beach, underwater theme parties out there? How about making your own salt dough garland.

What You Need:

Salt Dough: Mix 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour, 1 Cup Salt, and 3/4 to 1 Cup of Water
Jute or Heavy Twine
Toothpicks

How You Make It:

Take a chunk of the dough and roll it into a ball. Onto a lightly floured surface (to prevent sticking), use hands to flatten ball.
Once you have your circle of dough, use a toothpick to press marks into the dough where the arms of the starfish will be
Remove dough between markings and use hands to round and shape the starfish form.
Use toothpick to make long indentation in center of each leg and to poke small holes up and down arms of starfish.
Poke hole in top of starfish (we used the non-pointy end of a ball point pen).
Let dry, either by allowing to air dry, or by baking in a 200 degree oven for several hours until hardened.
Once dried and cooled, apply coat of acrylic sealant.

Tie small loop through hole at top of starfish with jute so the stafish will hang flat when suspended.
String starfish on strand of jute to make garland.

Pretty Popcorn

How to make popcorn pretty! Wrap it in a doily!

Homemade Snow

Brrr it's cold here at the moment but sadly Perth does not snow! So why not make your own? Its so very simple and your kids will love it! Perfect for any Frozen party's out there!

Add the desired amount of baking soda to a container. Then, slowly mix in shaving cream. I used one large box of baking soda and almost a full can of shaving foam. As you slowly mix in the shaving cream you will discover a fantastic mold-able snow. The snow is super soft, silky smooth, and smells so clean and fresh. It is also naturally cold. I am not sure why exactly but it is! It feels just like fresh fallen powder in your hands.

One for the teens

I was at a girlfriends with teenagers last week and her daughter saw the shopping list for her birthday! Mum had put on the list cordial which was met with ooorrhhh Mum we aren't babies any more! She was right but they are still not adults. Here are a couple of bits that may make your teenagers feel a little less babyish!

Lets face it an ice-cream bar for any age goes down a treat but put it in martini or beer glasses and suddenly it takes it to a new level!

Mint Choco Mocktail

60 ML or 2oz. of your favourite mint chocolate ice cream

30 ML or 1oz coconut cream

Large handful of crushed ice

60 ML or 2oz. milk

Chocolate syrup

Rim a martini glass with your favourite chocolate syrup. On a small flat plate, pour about 30-60ml or 1-2oz of the syrup. Holding the glass parallel to the table, dab the rim of your glass into the liquid while slowly turning the glass so that only the outer edge is covered.

Next:
Combine the rest of the ingredients and stir until smooth. Pour into your already-rimmed glass and serve!

Pineapple and Lime Refresca

Ingredients:

240 ML or 8oz. chilled organic pineapple juice
Lemon-lime sparkling water
Pineapple wedges (garnish)
Mint leaves

Fill a medium-sized glass with ice and pour in pineapple juice. Top with lemon-lime soda and garnish each glass with a mint leaf and pineapple wedge.

We made Pixie Dust!!

Yesterday I put on here how to make pixie dust! It was raining and my little miss was asleep so my big madam and I made some!! Now to convince her it will not make her fly!!

Tea Party, Mad Hatters party, Alice in Wonderland, Baby or bridal shower perfect.

I love this, its just so sweet. Would I do it for my Madams party I thought not but then I realised you don't need to use Wedgewood for the little ones, I'm sure a hunt through some the second hand shops and you could pick up some nice bits for a couple dollars each! Tea Party, Mad Hatters party, Alice in Wonderland, Baby or bridal shower perfect.

Bubble Party - Yes please

Do your kids love bubbles? Even the older kids seem to still get a kick from bubbles! So how about a bubble party?

Arts and craft? Bubble mixture with food colouring!

Different sized balloons make bubble walls

Mix together:

10 cups of water

1 cup dish soap (Dawn works well)

*optional, but use for best results – Add 1/4 cup Glycerin (found in the pharmacy section of Whole Foods or New Seasons) or Corn Syrup

Let the solution sit (covered so it stays clean) overnight, it gets better the longer it sits!

Use a hula hoop to make giant bubbles around the kids or just make giant bubbles!

Tiny Balloons as cake toppers - super super cute

A paddling pool filled with clear beach balls! Looks real and a winner with the toddlers
