Each year it’s hard to believe that any of my girls are a year older. The older they get, the faster it goes by and even though I prepare myself, it doesn’t get easier watching them grow up but it is fun.
Charlotte is officially four years old and we celebrated with an Art themed birthday party! This was her choice and perfectly matched her messy and fun personality. She loves to draw, color and create. It amazes me with how good she is. It’s definitely something she might have a future in if she keeps it up.
The last two years have felt like she’s getting the short end of the stick with her birthday, but nonetheless, she had a great time and the party turned out much better than I thought. Why do I say that? Well, she turned three just a month and a half after having the twins last year and I just threw a quick and easy pj’s and donuts birthday party together with very little planning and decorating and this year was very last minute as well. Not to mention, it always falls during Thanksgiving so life is busy as it is. So thankful for grace and love from that little girl who could care less about it all. I even messed the cake up this year and she was so forgiving and still managed to give me a huge hug and tell me how good the cake still smelled (she picked out a caterpillar cake from Costco and I put the wrong pick up date).
Anyhow, back to how I planned her art party and how easy you could throw one too!
I was able to get most of her party supplies through Amazon. Thank goodness for two day shipping and Amazon pretty much always coming in clutch. And of course, Pinterest always comes in handy too!
Like the idea to have "paint chips" and "paint brushes" was such a fun idea and the kids loved it! The best part for me, is that it took little effort, which is always a plus when planning a kid's party. The paint brushes were pre-made marshmallow treats that I dipped in colored chocolate and then stuck with a Popsicle stick.
What makes this Art Party themed birthday so easy was that you can use all the colors and not go wrong. The more the better and mixing and matching different things was a piece of cake. Get it? ;) Plates, napkins, utentils...nothing has to match!
Here's a list of what we used to throw a pretty awesome (if I say so myself) party for my four year old and a few more favorite photos.
