I am a fan of using literature for inspiration. When my daughter and I were planning her 5th birthday party, the book Ladybug Girl by Jacky Davis and David Soman caught her eye. "Can I be a Ladybug Girl for my birthday?"
Of course! Thankfully, I already owned a lady bug stamp. We stamped gift wrap and some red napkins, made some extra large ladybugs for decoration and found the cutest costume at a Garage sale the Saturday before ($3.oo) to complete the theme. It turned out cute and all the kids had a blast!

ReplyDeleteWhat a darling and creative party. I loved all of your ideas and the fact that you used the book Ladybug Girl as your inspiration. I have enjoyed reading your past posts. We LOVE books in our family as well. I don't think you can ever be surrounded by too many books. Thanks for participating in my "All Things Wonderful Link Party" and I hope that you will join us again this week.
