Yellow, Favorite Color

Age of Birthday Girl: 3 years old
Age Range of Guests: 2-7 years old
Gender of Guests: boys and girls

Potential Age Range of Theme: 1-8 years, depending on specific focus & activities

When our youngest turned three she wanted a yellow birthday because "lello" was her "faybrit" color!

Invitations: We used a variety of yellow scrap-booking paper patterns to create a very yellow card covered in yellow stickers. The front had a "You Are Invited" stamp, with the party details on the back. (Sorry there is no picture - this party was sparse on photos for some reason).

Cake: At first we were stumped for the cake but then decided to go with the sun & rainbow theme - appropriately yellow and very easy! A 9x9 inch cake was covered in yellow frosting. We sprinkled yellow sugar around the edge to give it some sparkle and drew a face for fun. For the rainbow we decorated cupcakes in rainbow colors and placed them beside the sun cake. They also each had a smiley face on them and color-coordinated sugar for some sparkle.


Games & Goodies: Each child decorated a yellow paper plate "sun" with markers and stickers. They each had colorful crepe paper and ribbon to attach for the rainbow. We played color matching games, did a scavenger hunt for various colorful items around the house or yard, and sang some songs about rainbows & colors.

Yellow goodie bags were filled with with yellow pencils, yellow smiley face stickers, rainbow stickers, yellow bendy toys, fruit snacks, and a variety of candy.
