30 Blogs with Ideas for a Candy Land Theme Birthday Party

Remember the board game, Candy Land? I do. We have at least two versions of it here in the bonus room. It is a great way to teach kids about colors and counting. What I didn't know is that some people use Candy Land as inspiration for their child's birthday party theme. I can't believe I never thought of that.

"30 Blogs with Creative Ideas for Throwing a Candy Land Themed Party" will bring you to an article with links to numerous blogs featuring invitation, decoration, menu, games, and party favor ideas to throw your own Candy Land themed birthday party. Some of these ideas are unbelievably creative. They make me wish the girls were little again, so I could try them out.

Mix and Match Birthday Themes

What kind of party do you plan for a child with diverse tastes and interests? How about mixing and matching themes.

The Lil Diva (9) discovered soccer this year. She bugged me for years to play, but each time it came to sign ups, she bowed out. This year, we made it through sign ups and she loves the game. She's also very quick, so once she gets down all the rules of the game, she'll be a powerful player.

She knew she wanted a soccer theme for her party, but since it was at night and it's cold out now, we struggled to come up with sports related activities for the kids. So, we mixed her soccer theme with a tea party for the girls and their American Girl dolls.

In addition to the snacks, we served sandwiches. Then after presents the girls had tea with their cake. The dolls were their guests.

We all had a fun time. And the best part, even though it was the weekend before Thanksgiving, most of my cleaning is done for tomorrow, so all I have to do is wash the kitchen floor.
