Beautiful Birthday Butterfly Bash!




Butterflies are beautiful and ethereal - like real world fairies! What better theme for an imaginative, creative kid's birthday party? Here are some awesome finds I ran across while planning my daughter's butterfly party...

DIY & low cost ideas...

Coloring sheets are a great activity, decoration, and favor! String some colored versions on ribbon for a quick inexpensive decoration. This page has a large selection of both more cartoon style and sophisticated zentangle style butterflies! The Butterfly Site has some pages of specific types of butterfly as well as a life cycle page. Mom Junction has a page with a lot of different species of butterfly as well as a color by number.

Amazon finds...






Oriental Trading has some awesome butterfly items as well at great prices- and if you order through Ebates, as of when I'm writing this you can get 2% cash back! (That is my affiliate link - but I use Ebates myself & I share because I think others might like it as well!)

Let's start at the very beginning - invitations! These are really cute and reasonably priced - $2.47 for 8 invitations.

This butterfly hanging door curtain is super adorable and would make a cute decor piece to keep in their room as a reminder of the party - maybe hung in front of a window.

Next find - butterfly design plates! And Truly Fairy paper cups - with a paper butterfly perched on them. These butterfly shaped folding hand fans would make a wonderful favor - and could double as decor! These craft supply 1" butterflies would be great as either a craft project addition or as decor, as well as these realistic butterfly self adhesive shapes. This 9ft butterfly tissue paperchain would really brighten up any party room. Neon Butterfly notepads are another favor option.

This butterfly magnet craft kit might be a good party activity. Another option would be to buy an assortment of beads, including these butterfly beads, and do a bracelet craft.

10 Ways to Happy Up a Houseful of Littles

This is an old never published post I discovered in my drafts - I'm guessing from around 6 or 8 years ago, when all my kiddos were really small. I've polished and edited it and added Amazon Affiliate links. Enjoy! :) Sometimes you just are all having a rough day.  Maybe people aren't feeling well, maybe mama has a headache, maybe it's just a grey drizzly day and little bodies can't go work off energy outside. Generally I can't think of anything when we're all in the middle of the crankies, so here is a list for me (and you, if it's helpful!) of things to try to shake the sads and bring back the smiles for mama and her small fry. 1. Bubble bath!  Break out the rubber duckies and enoy the soothing warm water.  Take some plastic containers for pouring and floating. (Bonus: if your kids really enjoy the water, you can recharge it several times to keep it warm and supervise with a cup of tea and a book!) 2. Snacktime!  A little something for the tum...

Birthday Manners for Children

I tried googling for something like this for my kids to read and couldn’t find it, so I wrote one.

Time is valuable and they’re spending it on you. When people arrive, greet them cheerfully and say hi. If they say Happy Birthday, say “thank you!” When they leave, say, “thank you for coming!” It is important to be and act thankful for every single gift, even if you do not like it.  The giver spent time and money on you and it is rude to act disappointed or bored with a gift, no matter what it is.  Thank each person politely, with eye contact & with a smile as you open their gift.  When a gift is wrapped in a gift bag, take out all the tissue paper first, then the gift.
