How cute are these felt mermaid tails?!? Especially once they are on the party guests! My mom gets all the credit for these. I showed her a design that I found on Pinterest and presto!...there they were!
And for the boys? Pretend scuba gear, of course! Made out of spray painted 2 liter bottles, fish tank tubing, and gorilla tape, these bottles not only looked like the real thing, but 'acted' like them too! We could not get over how much the boys played with them (in the pool) and how well they held up!
A pirate (my mom) even showed up to take the kids on a treasure hunt. They were enthralled as she led the way. We owe you, mom. BIG time. :-)
There were also Pinterest inspired decorations throughout the 'ocean blue.' The coffee filter wreath was VERY easy to make and CHEAP.
I am very pleased with how it all turned out. Ms. Dottie made a fantastic sandcastle cake, Zoe hosted the "Seaweed Salon" (More pictures coming soon). The only bad thing? Sadie ran a fever the entire time. :=(
Oh well. There's always next year! :-)
So neat!!! Love the ideas:)
