Kids Birthday Beach Party

June 12, 2013   |   1 Comment

I came across some old photos of my daughter’s 5th birthday party.  That year, we did a “Beach” theme.  I had a large inflatable pool set up under canopy and a slip and slide nearby.  It was a large one that had mini inflatable boogie boards. 

In between splashing and sliding, I wet down our sand area and the kids made a few sand castles. (Didn’t think to take pictures.  Who knew I’d be blogging about it years later???)
For the food, I served “octopus” hot dogs. Here is a Pinterest link showing how to make them – Octopus. We also had carrots and ranch, Goldfish Crackers and Swedish Fish.  I kept it very kid-friendly.  
Here are the “Beach Cupcakes”.  I added a few drops of blue food coloring to white frosting.  Then I sprinkled graham cracker crumbs for the “sand”, a Gummy Saver life preserver, chewy candy beach ball & umbrella.
 Not a great photo, but you get the idea.
For decorations, I went to Party City and got some beach/surf themed items – table cloth/runner, fish and seahorse cut outs and some hanging lanterns. The goodie bags had a flower lei, and individual packets of Goldfish and Gummy Savers.  This party was very {simple} and affordable.
