Camping Themed 5th Birthday

Birthday parties are my absolute favorite.  We have never had a small, simple birthday for the kids.  We celebrate birthdays BIG and anything goes on their day.  I love it this way. 

Cupcake toppers.
I came up with this idea for individual dirt pudding.  I'm a genius! 
Vanilla Snack Packs and crushed Oreos in a little cup.

I added bugs to the top and a spoon.  I also made little cards to cover the top of the bag. 
More pictures to come!


Bug jars for the game (see below).

I put "grass" in the jars for their bugs to eat.

I found the idea for this game here
You fill a tent with balloons, balls, and bugs.

Since his party is camping and Wonder Pets themed,
I made these little cups to put celery in.  It's a Wonder Pets thing. 
I got the idea from a friend to put ranch in the bottom and veggies in the cups.

Smores bars!  Easy to make and so delicious! 
I used the flat marshmallows for smores.

I then dipped them in chocolate and sprinkled them. 
They stay together nicely and were a big hit.  We didn't have any leftover!

I purchased this vintage boyscout digital paper from this Etsy shop and used it for water bottle covers.

Contents of the treat bags: Dirt pudding, flashlight, party blower,
magnifying glass, compass ring, swedish fish, and scrabble cheez-its.

I cut out a bazillion stars on my Cricut and taped them to the ceiling.

Really old cots borrowed from my dad set up in the playroom. 
We also set up a couple of tents.


Picture frame to go with the theme.  The birthday boy picked out this "silly" picture.

I made camping confetti on the cricut.  They're tiny and I glued them all together, too. 
What was I thinking?  Oh yeah, that's right, I love this!

Tent cake designed by "Daddy."

Bug jars and treat bags on the porch.

"Get the Bugs Out of the Tent" game.

We filled the tent with balloons, balls, and bugs.
