Grace's Rainbow Birthday Party

Grace turns three on the 4th June, but due to the impending arrival of her new little sister, we decided to have her birthday party a week early. So yesterday was party day!

The party had a rainbow theme, which she has been excited about for months. And it gave me a chance to try out some ideas I discovered on the internet!

The only problem was, there is something wrong with the camera charger, so we didn't have our camera working on the day. Fortunately, Grandma stepped in with hers so we do have some photos of the occasion.

We made our own rainbow bunting, and bought some helium filled balloons for decoration. The food included coloured popcorn, fairy bread, and some other colourful items pictured below.

I didn't have the energy to try fluffy icing clouds, but you get the idea!

Rainbow jelly cups - unfortunately the colours didn't show up so well in the photo.

Guests were invited to dress in either rainbow colours, or their favourite colour of the rainbow.

Games and activities included pass-the-parcel, blowing bubbles, bowls, colouring rainbow pictures, and playing with toys. Everyone seemed to have a good time.

Eating was the most popular activity!

I was very proud of the rainbow cake, which turned out just like I hoped it would. It was of course very high, so we have plenty left over!

The children who attended all received a little party bag and a rainbow flag.

Grace was well behaved all day, said thank you to everyone, and declared it to be her "best party ever"! What more could I ask for?
