J is 5 now and loves Diego. He likes watching animals, playing with animals, and learning about animals. His cousins got to come and enjoy his party with him.
I tried my best to transform the living room into a jungle with twisted crepe paper vines, poster board and balloon trees, and stuffed jungle animals all around. I try to decorate while he is not around so that when he enters the room he has a big surprise, I just love seeing him when he enters the party room. I also set out his Diego books and toys for the kids to enjoy.
We had rainforest kabobs with fruit, yogurt, and coconut.
I made a 9×11 sheet cake and decorated it with his Diego toys. I frosted the cake with chocolate frosting then added some green vines to it. I tried to make trees with Pirouette Wafers and marshmallow on top. I covered the marshmallows with green frosting. I put blue frosting in the middle for a river and placed candy rocks along the river bank.
We had a treasure hunt too. I placed the clues on his animals, each clue had animal facts about the next animal. The hunt finally ended with a treasure chest in a hidden door that I cut from the bottom of one the fake tree trunks that I had made out of poster board. The kids all loved this!
Happy Birthday to my animal lover!
