Diana Butterfly Party - Activities

I wasn't sure how to run Diana's birthday party

with the wide age range of kids but I think all in all it turned out pretty good.  The birthday girl looked fabulous in her "2' t-shirt Nana made her (thank you)!  There were butterfly wings for the kids to wear and noise makers.  I wish I would have made more kids put the wings on and gotten a picture...oh well.  We had the Elefun game, it's that blue elephant trunk that blows out butterflies, which all kids seemed to enjoy until the batteries ran out...I had extras just never got around to putting them in.  We colored butterfly shrinky dinks, hence the picture of the kids crowding around the oven.  I tossed stickers in the air and the kids caught them in their butterfly nets.  We also had butterfly coloring pages and a paper plate craft where you turned it into a butterfly and decorated it.  I did a really bad job of taking pictures...I need to remember to assign this task to someone in the future.  The kids also enjoyed playing in our spin chairs and with the piano.  The finale was to wrap the kids up in toilet paper to form chrysalids, or cocoons.  Alex, Evan and Jonathan learned about butterflies at school so they informed me it was chrysalids and they were the only kids to be wrapped up...over and over again.
