Welcome to CANDY LAND! For Tsadakah's birthday party we decided to do the theme after this cake that I saw in a cookbook. I just had to make it for her because I was so excited about the idea. Then I planned all the games, activities, and treats around the game. It was as much fun to plan as it was to put on. Over all I felt that it was a huge success. Everyone who came loved it and so did she. She has been looking forward to her birthday since Christmas! She helped me decorate the cake and everything!This is the first game. It was a rainbow taste test. Each kid had to close their eyes and were given a skittle. They had to try to guess the flavor/color. My sister, Leah, was the one who is giving them out. She was dressed as "chocolate."
The funny thing was that some of the kids were scared to close their eyes. Even with the promise of a candy they were nervous about the idea.
The next part was decorating gingerbread boys and girls. This was next to a tree in my yard that I decorated like the gingerbread tree in the game.
The kids enjoyed making them and their creativity was fun too, but the cookies were too soft and they all broke when they picked them up.
The next game was the Mr. Mint's Peppermint forest. I wrapped red electrical tape around white plastic spoons and they were to take a mint candy through a obsticle course on it without dropping the candy. My nephew, Datan, was the oldest and he did a good job.
You can kind of see in the back there are two candy canes that they were to go around. Then they jumped crawled through the striped hoop and jumped over the pillow.
Here is my cute little Tsadakah coming through the hoop. She held the candy on with her other hand through the entire thing! ha ha
Just look at those smiles!
Then the villian, tricky Lord Licorice stops their way with the Licorice Limbo! Mike did a great job playing the part.
My friend, Denelle, made a great CD mix of all these songs that had to do with candy. The kids did their limboing to it.
Eliannah loves bouncy balls! Which was the treat that she had gotten from "Jolly"
This is the path that we made. My sister did a great job figuring out how to make it over the grass, which actually stayed better than that ones we tried to put on the sidewalk.
My mother played a wonderful Gramma Nutt. She went all out and dressed up just like her! She is such a fun grandma! The kids won baggies of nutterbutters and circus peanuts at this game.
Then there was the Lollipop woods where the kids did a ring toss for some suckers. I think only two kids actually ringed their own. Then we divided out the rest so everyone got a couple.
Tsadakah and some cousins, Moriella and Lara. Tsadakah is dressed as Princess Frosting, Moriella as Lollipop girl, and Lara is a peep! Isn't that cute?
For princess frosting who was played by my niece, Anna, she danced around blowing bubbles and the kids popped them with their wands that I made. These wands turned out super CUTE and I am pretty proud of them. I even found bubbles shaped like ice cream cones to give out to the kids, which I was really excited about.
Then for the Gloppy's chocolate swamp we let the kids finger paint in chocolate pudding. Then they got to lick their fingers and plates. Of course they got their own chocolate snack pack in their bags to take home.
To finish off the fun we had King Kandy crown Tsadakah the princess in candy land. Every gracious princess shares, so she passed out ring pop suckers to all of her friends.
My dad was going to be King Kandy, but he didn't make it in time, so Mike did it. See the gumball staff that I made.
Tsadakah loved having everyone sing to her! Look at that smile on her face!! She loves the spot light! I think she is adorable!
