FISH PARTY

  Invitations:

 
*We had it from 11am-1pm so that I could serve lunch

FOOD

We served:

1. Goldfish Crackers,

2. Swedish Fish swimming in Blue Jello

 

3. Tuna Sandwiches (I made PB&Jelly in addition just in case some did not prefer Tuna). Which I would have loved to cut out into fish shaped sandwiches, but could not find a fish cookie cutter anywhere, not to mention all the wasted sandwich that would come with the cuteness! And,

4. Watermelon that was served in a carved watermelon!  I only got a picture afterwards, not when it was filled with watermelon...sadly. 

We had regular white and chocolate cupcakes a friend made (which were delicious) topped with blue frosting, edges rolled in blue and green sprinkles, with a Swedish fish on the top middle of each!
I know the picture does not serve it's purpose, you cannot see the blue and green sprinkles around the edges, but sadly this is all I have.

 

Games:

1. Fish Walk

Play it just like you would an old fashioned cake walk (kids walk around in a circle stepping on numbered papers while the music plays, when the music stops a number is called.  The kid who is on the number gets to pick a prize.)
 *I let the kids play until everyone had a prize

















2. Fish Toss

I made these out of socks that haven't had matches for a few years now! 

Simply fill the sock with rice, beans, lentils, etc., 

tie it up with a regular rubberband, 

cut any excess off the end forming a cute tail fin!

glue buttons, beads, google eyes in the place of an eye with a gluegun!

THATS IT!!  You're done!

Have the kids toss them into any bean bag toss you may have, buckets, etc., they love it!

*I wanted to give these out to kids as party favors, but I didn't have enough socks!

*You could also ask kids to bring an old sock and have them make their own!

3. Fish For Your Treasure

  • we had a sandbox filled with fun inexpensive toys, rocks, etc. Each child was allowed to dig and keep three (3) items they found. 

     

     






4. Coloring/Activity Pages
