A Rainbow Party

Miss K turned 5 last Sunday and we had a Rainbow themed party to celebrate! We tried to have as much healthy food as possible, whilst still making it a fun party for kids! We had 21 children and 21 adults attend so it was quite a busy day!

On the menu were sandwich platters, home made sausage rolls, home made chicken nuggets, party pies, a rainbow fruit and veg platter with dip, rainbow jellies, fairy bread, cupcakes, a few chocolate treats of freddo frogs and some choc gold coins to go with the rainbow theme! Oh and of course the birthday cake!

We had organised some games, but as the kids were having so much fun playing outside in the sunshine, we gave the games a miss! We had a bubble blowing machine going to create a lovely sea of bubbles and some kids music playing for the kids to dance and party to.

All the kids were asked to dress as their favourite colour of the rainbow, or as all the colours if they preferred! We had a surprise visit from a clown and also some face painting which my lovely aunties organised as a surprise that even I didn't know about. All in all it was a great day, my younger daughter who will be 4 next year is now starting to ask about what we will do for her party. I'm glad that's still a while away as I am all partied out for now!

Here are a few photos:


The Cake, it was four seperate layeside, pink, yellow green and blue. it was layered together with butter cream icing, the same as the outside and it was delicious!



These are the lovely party bags we made up for the kids to take home with them!


This is the Rainbow themed fruit platter we made up, it went very quickly!


Here is my party girl and her friend enjoying the rainbow jellies, we made them in small clear shot glasses which meant the kids could have a couple of flavours each if they liked.


Here are the Rainbow Jellies.


And last but not least, the Fairy bread stars!

Thanks for stopping by :)
