Kids parties

I haven't seen either of these books but they look like they'd have some pretty cute ideas in them.

children's party cakes & cookies available at amazon  & childrens parties available at urchin (uk based site)

 

Urchin - Living for Kids

This UK based site is a wonderful source for all kinds of kids stuff, party decoration and supplies, toys, baby gear and more.  The kids parties section is great for inspiration.

 

Let's Pretend Animal Masks by Zid Zid

Zid Zid is such an amazing company, everything they make is brilliant!  Illustrated by co-founder of Zid Zid Kids Julie Klear, these masks are made from recycled cardboard and printed to last for some serious playmaking.  The set of these would make such an awesome birthday gift.

Available at oliebollen $11 each

 

Modern Baby Shower - Blueprint Mag

I love everything about this baby shower featured in Blueprint;  the food, decor, gifts, all of it.  I am especially intrigued by the hand-made mobiles that seem quite easy to make.  I've been racking my brain for a different way to do the typical "photo banner" you often see at babies 1st birthday parties.  Wouldn't it be cute to put littlemama's photo from each month of life in a circle with the number of the month on the back?  Well, it sounds cute...let's see if I can find the time to try and make one.

Party Ideas - Jones Soda Bottles

I'm pretty sure I'll be doing these personalized Jones Soda Bottles for littlemama's party.  (I got the idea from a very creative friend (Hi Julie!) who made these a couple years ago - it looks like Jones Soda finally decided to cash in on the idea)

Here's another idea for party favors:  Tattoos for Tots
