David came up with another great idea for his birthday this year. He wanted an Australia party with real ideas and games kids play in Australia. Lucky for him he has a great Aunt and Uncle who were full of ideas and experiences.
The invite was a sign with a Kangaroo and the info for the party on the back.
All the kids came and put on a hat with a button that had a koala and their name on it.
One of the games we played was "pass the parcel" where a box of candy is wrapped multiple times. As music plays each child passes the parcel until the music stops. When it stops the child unwraps one layer and does what is written on the paper. We had hopping kangaroos, nibbling wombats, a swimming platypus, climbing koalas, dingos and emus running wild.
A pin the tail on the kangaroo was another fun one. Along with a kangaroo cruise, boomerang toss, and a save the crocodile egg race. The pinata full of authentic Aussie treats was a hit!
Along with opening presents, which was a thrill for David.
We had some typical Aussie party treats: fairy bread (butter, nutella and sprinkles on bread) and mars slice (very yummy!)
David wanted chocolate cupcakes with yellow frosting and an Australia Flag. (I guess he is into cupcakes lately, or they are easier to lick the frosting off of.)We had a fun time. Thanks Jen Jen and Mr. Wiggle for all your help.
