My big girl turned 4 last week! She starts preschool next week and my heart is feeling a wee bit heavy with the thought of her growing up so fast.
I'll stop right there as I will most likely become a blubbering mess.
On with the party....
This year S requested a princess party. I was all over that seeing as last year we went with more of a 'boy' theme of a Pir-ette Party.
As there were going to be boys still attending this princess party I wanted to incorporate a part for them (something different than just a prince or a knight) so a Frog was the perfect solution not to mention cute and fun to decorate with.
Have a look at S's,
Princess and the Frog Birthday Party
(not the Disney version, more of The Frog Prince classic)
 |
| We had 15 kids (2 are missing from this pic) and 7 adults....that's what I call a party! |
 |
| Take home treats: little frogs, gummy frogs, and a necklace. As well they got to take home their crafts. |
It was such a great party! She had so much fun!
Some details, inspiration and links:

- I painted some Kerr jars gold with Krylon metalic spray paint.
- I made crowns for various frogs from an old Christmas glitter bow, which I cut apart and hot glued.

- For activities the kids decorated crowns, made frogs with stick out tongues and I read them the story 'Kiss the Frog'. We had a lot of fun!
