Pigs in a blanket with ketchup and mustard
Mangoes
Pineapple
Kiwi
Strawberries
Cake- 1 9" round white cake with white frosting. We frosted the entire thing white, then dyed some of the frosting pink to make a flower. Then instead of making it a double layer cake we made a dozen cupcakes. We used vanilla frosting dyed green to frost the tops. Then we used a kitchen knife to make the veins like a leaf with yellow sprinkles to make it shine a little.
Drink- punch made with pineapple sherbet and Sierra Mist. Water with lemon slices.
Even though these were all 5-7 year old girls, they ate almost everything. It was relatively healthy too.
Decorations:
Glass stem vases with bright silk flowers
Large glass jars with sand and seashells
Palm trees (in our yard) and plastic blow-up trees
Cut-outs of flowers and tropical birds
Activities:
I cut out hundreds of flowers with bright colored cardstock with my Cricut machine. Then I got straws and cut them in 1" sections. I cut yard, and the girls made their own leis.
Painting pineapples. My daughter LOVES crafts and painting so the girls painted little wooden pineapple ornaments.
Slip-n-slide.
Pinata... a recurring theme, I know. My kids love them.
Coloring the driveway with sidewalk chalks... a big hit with the girls.
Photo shoot. After the girls made their leis, we had them put them on, put on a grass skirt and stand by the little palm trees. They got a copy of the picture with their thank you card.The last thing was flower hair barrettes that I made for everyone to take home. I made about 25 in just an hour and a half.
