Step Right Up...

Who doesn't love a good Circus?  The games, the animals, the sweet treats, silly photo booths...  Emy (our party girl :) turned 5 last week and she wanted a Circus party to celebrate with all of her friends.  Popcorn bags filled with all the candy a kid could stand, silly pictures, games and music were just a  few of the things at this little lady's party.  The kids had a great time and Emy absolutely adored her Circus themed bash.  We couldn't get an elephant, but we did have a whole lot of monkeys jumping around!

Melissa and I constructed a fun chalkboard yard sign that we can use at future Sugar Snap events.  I also designed and printed the one of a kind labels and invites right at our neighborhood Kinko's.

Games included Ring Toss, "The Flying Canon" and a Ring Master Relay Race.  We even had a face painting booth.  At each game station, the kiddos either won tickets or cashed them in for fun little trinkets.  They loved the feeling of being at a real Circus Carnival!

The Bubble Machine provided a great bubbly back drop.


The photo booth was a big hit!  The kids could dress up and be as silly as they wanted :p

We found many of the props right in Emy's toy bin at home.  The props we couldn't find came from the Dollar Store and Party City. 

      Even the adults got their silly on :)


After all the planning and preparing that went into Emy's Circus, it turned out to be a huge success!

Sugars (things we loved)
-We loved how playful, bright and fun the day turned out for Emy and her little buddies.
-Most of the props and things we created can be used at other events.  BONUS!!
-Last minute Sunshine kept the weather from raining on our parade (or Circus)

Snaps (things we learned)
-Anyone know of a good place that rents Elephants for next time? ;)
-Weather was a big factor.  We planned for both indoor and outdoor setup just in case the rain wouldn't hold out.


*A special thanks to Door County Confectionery for supplying the yummy treats!


What theme's are you doing for your next kiddo event?
