Last weekend, Chloe and her friends and family chose to share her birthday celebrations with us down at the Homestead and by all accounts, it was a great sucess!
She and her little friends spent a fun filled couple of hours enjoying party food, stories, games and activity sheets. I have a feeling there may have been a few boys that were not terribly impressed with the Pink and Purple theme, (but strangely, none of them refused the helium balloons they got to take home with their lolly bags.)
After working hard on their colouring in sheets, (lots of blue chickens and pink lambs) the children enjoyed stories. For Chloe we chose, "Who Wants A Dragon", "Alice The Fairy" and "Madeline". Then it was outside to play egg and spoon race, in which all of the children did exceedingly well! Not a broken egg anywhere, (boiled eggs are good for this game)
Highlight for the day had to be 'Going On A Bearhunt'. Willow the Book Fairy leads all of the children in this wonderful adventure, which winds its way around the grounds of the Homestead and Cafe. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with it, Bearhunt is a song/story, written by Author, Helen Oxenbury. Willow talks the children around the grounds of the Homestead, using tone and enthusiasm to build the suspense, until the inevitable "BEAR!" moment, when all are guaranteed to run, squealing with delight, back to the 'safety' of the Cafe fro ice cream and cake. Chloe and her friends were very enthusiastic bearhunters and as the birthday girl Chloe got to take home her very own copy of "Going on a Bearhunt". There was only a little time left for a quick game of 'Duck, Duck, Goose,' before it was time to go home.
Somehow, I dont think many would have stayed awake in the car! Chloe and her friends were a lovely bunch of kids, and we had a great time, we do hope to see them all again next year.......
If you are interested in having a Childrens Party with us, we would love to hear from you! Please feel free to email Joanne at jjsantos@myway.com
