Go Diego Go Party!!

This past week was my little boy's birthday!! He is totally in a Diego Stage and since our family is far far away, I thought it was appropriate to invite some of his little friends and throw him a Diego party. It was a lot of fun. I found many cute "jungle/diego" themed birthday party ideas at various sites online but one site was my favorite!!!

Nick Jr party planning page

If your child is wanting a Nickelodeon themed party, this is the place to go

They have recipes, party games and activities, invitations, iron on printables, decor and much more!!! It was a great resource and helped alleviate much of the stress that accompaines planning a party.

I really loved the recipes I found and used these two for our fiesta!

Here is how my cake turned out!!

Diego Cake

My cupcakes were not as awesome but they served their purpose!! Forgot to take a pic, but trust me the example is MUCH cuter!!

Baby jaguar cupcakes 

I also tried to tie in our food with the whole jungle theme!! So for our little lunch we served

dried ants- dried cranberries

bettle wings- chips

crocodile teeth- apple slices

jungle juice- juice boxes

snake skin- fruit roll-ups

Quesadillas

I also made some fun headbands for our guests to wear. These were SO easy to make and a lot of fun. At Hobby Lobby (and I am sure many other places) I found some jungle print felt and knew I had to use it for the party. All I did was cut 1.5 x 12 inch strips of the printed felt and sew it onto a 2 X 31 ish inch piece of solid print felt. The kids loved them. My favorite was the giraffe- how cute to put this onto some pink fabric... (too bad no pink was allowed at my boys party!!)

Here are the three types I made

We also hit a pinata, decorated paper bag diego vests and colored!! Such a fun morning!!
