Artist Party

Caylie turned 7 last month, but we just got around to having her birthday party yesterday.  This year's theme is artist party!  We had several artistic activities to keep the little ones engaged.  First they used sharpies and rubbing alcohol to make tie dye t-shirts. 
Creating a new fashion trend
 Next they got messy with some fingerpainting.
Getting their hands dirty!
We also tried sidewalk chalk paint, but the pics of that didn't turn out great, and I probably wouldn't do that one again.  But making a mess is always fun on principle. 
t-shirts and fingerpaintings hung to dry
Then it was time for a pizza and junk food feast!  Yes, there were some veggies offered as well, but some of the little guys declined.  
After the main course, they got messy again by decorating cupcakes with an array of coloured icings and candy toppings.  Fun!
Caylie's creation
 When parents arrived we packed their artwork into these goodiebags along with a paint palette, paint-by-number sheet and a blank colour wheel to fill in.  The kiddos had a good time and Caylie raised almost $25 for the SPCA!
