This is such an interesting idea for a fun kids party. I am sure kids will have a great time creating memories. Thanks for sharing these ideas!

What a fun party! I love the octopus—I have never thought to decorate the water cooler but that is so fun! And what a great idea to include the birthday kid in the prep. I’ve done that some in the past but will definitely look for more chances to do it in the future. ❤️

In reply to natalie. It's a gallon pickle glass pickle jar! I've never seen a gallon mason jar before but it would be pretty.

Hey!

Last summer got away from me and I never posted how to make that drink cooler. I essentially just used plastic table clothes from the Dollar Store. I wrapped one around for the cooler and added eyes and then I cut others long way (with the plastic doubled, not just one layer) and then stapled up the sides for the legs. I stuffed them with newspaper. I just set the legs under the filled cooler when ready and it held them down great.

I hope that helps!

Thanks so much, Melissa

I love the octopus, but I can’t find the post where you explained how to make it.

I was SICK when we showed up so late. I think the day just got away from us. I LOVE this party. SOOOO CUTE!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the sand under the table, the jars, the octopus but mostly I love the decorations Macey made. They are perfect! What a great bonding thing. I’m trying to let go of my need for perfection and let my little help more with stuff like this too. And I can’t tell you how excited I am to have met you in real life and to have a new friend! Not sure how many more all nighters I can pull with you (I’m getting way to old for that) but I had a great time getting to know you better!

Could I let him help? YES. :) He helped do his cookie monster cake (the extent of the party last year, I'm afraid... other than the food. Of COURSE we had food. :)) and he STILL talks about it.

But the question is: could I ever do something this cute?! I love the cooler and the ideas for the food. It's tons of fun. :) I bet Macey LOVED it.

Happy Birthday Macey! Wish we could have come and partied with you!

It was so nice to see you guys on the fourth... I wish it'd been longer! We need a nice chat, Melissa! :)
