HELP me plan a 4yo party...how does this sound?

4-yos "olivia-ish" tea party....

As the girls arrive they can get right into dress up for tea...
I'll have my DD Cheval mirror & a table set up with:
Necklaces, rings, hats, glasses
I'll have disposable brushes & if they want i will apply a little eye shadow & blush & bobby pin/colored hair extensions

Then tea (I even got small porcelain tea cup & saucers)
Serving:
Cut out into fun shapes - shandwhiches: PB&J, cream cheese & strawberry jelly; am cheese & bread
Fruit kabobs - Strawberries, red grapes, & watermelon
Veggie kabobs - grape tomatoes, mozz cheese
hot cocoa (instead of tea) & marshmallows (instead of sugar cubes)
Milk, apple, fruit juice, water

Games:
Pin the nose on the Olivia
Pass the pig (aka hot potato)
Freeze dance &/or musical chairs

If time....make a glow in the dark beaded bracelet, in honoro of the "say good night Olivia" song.

Decorate rice krispy "cupcake" (frosting, M&M, sprinkles)
During this bring out the birthday cake, so they can eat with their krispy treat-cupcake

I need all the suggestions you can give....this is my 1st kiddie party.

ETA: it's 1-3, for the parents I'm just serving veggie platter & dip, & fruit salad (soda, water)

Sounds cute.

I know a few people have gotten a roll of bubble wrap for the kids to dance on which is fun.

Re: HELP me plan a 4yo party...how does this sound?

I have no other suggestions but I wanted to say that I LOVE this. It sounds like so much fun and adorable. You have a lot there to fill in the time slot so I think you are covered.

Do you have music? I don't really Olivia to well but is there a soundtrack for it. Maybe to play in the background or for a dance party if needed to fill time

I do have TONS of kiddie music from when I was a PE teacher.....but I do still need to get some current stuff, like fresh beats, etc!!

Re: HELP me plan a 4yo party...how does this sound?

If you go on the Nick Jr website that have Olivia printables. DD had an Olivia 4th birthday and we used some of the print outs and put them on the floor and did Musical Stars (the print outs are Olivia inside the shape of a star).

Sounds adorable!
Kids are going to love it!

As for Sporks, do you have a Taco Bell near by? That's the only place I can think of.

Re: HELP me plan a 4yo party...how does this sound?

Yes, I have to stop in taco bell &/or Bojangels (a chain here) and see if I can get a few....I feel weird, since I don't eat in either.
