Ella wanted an Under the Sea Party this year for her birthday and we had so much fun planning decorations and activities to go along with the theme. First we hung blue, aqua and green streamers from the ceiling and added some sea animals. Then we filled the floor with blue "bubbles" balloons.
When the guests arrived we had everyone gather at the table to make wave bottles. We filled them with water, blue food coloring, oil, and assorted glitter and sea animals. The kids loved making these themselves.
After our craft we played some games. First, we did Fish, Fish, Shark (duck, duck, goose). Then we played dive under the sea. We had the blue blanket and had each child taking turns diving under to get different sea animals. Then we would toss the animal on the waves and give them a ride. This was everyone's favorite! After that we did a dig for sea shells in the sand. Finally, we had a fishing pond where the kids tossed there fishing pole over the sheet to get their goody bags.
Inside the bags was sea animal silly bands, sea animal grow pellets, swedish fish, bubbles, and a bag of goldfish snacks.
Ella requested a Whale cake, so Daddy did an awesome job making the cake for her and her friends.
The kids had a great time and fortunately her next birthday party won't be until she turns 8!
The most coveted after unicorn pillow pet from Grandma and Grandpa Braden.
And her new Hello Kitty bike that she got with her money from Great Grandma Rohrbach, Grandpa and Grandma Rohrbach and her allowance. She just learned how to ride without training wheels, so she has been on the bike non-stop.
