Wizard Of Oz party?

[curiousgeorgie]

For my DD2... Any ideas for decorations, food, entertainment?

[WerewolfBarMitzvah]

Cool theme! How old will she be?

These might help

I really want a Wizard of Oz party now!

[WerewolfBarMitzvah]

Gingham tablecloth, red glittery accents ie cups or something?
Baskets with food in.
Rainbows - balloons or cakes maybe.
Lollipops.
Stripy tights poking out from under a couch.
If they are small enough, you could get them to colour in rainbow or green witch faces (probably printables online)
Make fairy wands like Glenda's?

[WerewolfBarMitzvah]

Well that's embarrassing. I obviously mean witch wand because we all know Glenda is the Good Witch.

I had one several years back and went to town...

Each room was themed. We made an emerald city out of painted cardboard boxes, a field of poppies from tissue paper flowers, a yellow brick road leading into and through the house from painted cardboard, a room with a rainbow ceiling made from pinned up fabric strips, a cyclone made from cardboard and ribbons, and witch's legs (stuffed tights) sticking out from under a cardboard house - it was pretty full on

Food wise we had lots of rainbow lollies, green cupcakes etc.

It was brilliant fun

I'm going to have it in a marquee so a good blank canvas

It's for my 2 year old, but a bit irrelevant really because we just use birthdays as an excuse for huge family parties

I'm thinking of making munchkin land
On my lawn with toadstool bouncy castles and giant flowers? Maybe then leading into the marquee as emerald city?

Love the legs! Could have them sticking out from under a shed? Maybe make a farm corner too with bales of hay?

[curiousgeorgie]

Thanks, brilliant ideas... Keep them coming

That sounds great You'll get stripey tights cheap on ebay I'm sure and you can just use spray paint and glitter for the red shoes.

I'm so jealous now - my DS is too wee for this at the moment, but give me 2 years and I'll go into full party mode!

[WerewolfBarMitzvah]

McFox that sounds AMAZING!
Right, I've decided what my next big birthday is going to be - screw the romantic weekend in Italy - I want an Oz party!!

[Seeline]
