Theme Party Ideas
 
a bug's birthday
Wednesday, November 27, 2002
Don’t let birthdays bug you...unless you want a fun theme, that is!
 
Costumes:
To turn Ashlyn into dot, I took a lavender leotard and tights and simply added costume wings and cut a green ‘leaf cape’.

We asked guests to come in Bug’s Life attire. Several wore bug’s life shirts or sweatshirts, and others adorned regular clothing with toy bugs or butterflies! 

We furnished them with antennae (pipe cleaners and head bands), and with posterboard wings they got to decorate themselves with stickers, pens, and glitter.

Decorations: 
Bugs life toys (from garage sales & thrift stores)
Plastic spiders, flies, etc (Wishing well)
Lavender and pale blue balloons

Food: 
French Flies
Ant-sized pizzas (Bagel bite Pizzas)
Orange caterpillars (carrots)

Games:
Decorate your own wings
Grain hunt (scatter peanuts around the yard and watch the kids go nuts finding them all!)
Musical Chairs (to Bugs Life Music)

Prizes:
Plastic bugs
Bug trapped in slime (wishing well)
