On Friday, my house was transformed into a Party Hall to celebrate my younger daughters 4th Birthday. (Thank you Sampoorana for the lovely message!). This is what we did…. Rose & I were a bit nervous about having 18 kids at home. This is the first time I’ve had a kiddie party at home. It was a Dora – The Explorer theme party!!
Arrows leading the way to my home…
“The party is here”… the main door!!
The archway leading to the party hall… with multicoloured balloons. We had streamers hanging from the ceilings…
My orange wall…
The kids made this…. (with a little bit of help of course!). Simone (my older kid)... made the flowers from crepe paper... we had these all around the house!! They looked great!!
The piñata and gift bags…
My girls and I made a few star catchers around the house… using Dora stickers.
We played a few games… ‘Dora Says’, ‘Pin the tail on Boots’, ‘Musical Caps’, ‘Dora’s Corners’….
With my little knowledge of Photoshop, I made certificates for the winners…
The door that leads to the ‘dining area’… We transformed the kids bedroom to a place where they all could sit down for a meal.
Hired a few tables and chairs… and the kids had a leisurely meal.
The plates were set with ‘blow horns’ and ‘caps’… with Dora all over them!!!
We cut the cake…
A few goodies… to eat after…
We had Dora, Boots and Swiper on the burgers as well….
It was all well worth it… The kids had a great time!!!
Hope you enjoyed seeing these… as much as we enjoyed decorating the place.
