EASTER KIDS PARTY TABLE

I absolutely love a holiday or good theme and my daughter has slowly turned into a mini me and does as well. She truly enjoys the fun of it and I knew I wanted to make her upcoming playdate a little more special with Easter just days away. The first question I usually get asked after school is “what’s for snack time?” so I decided to make their snack area a little more Easter-y and fun and they enjoyed it so much!

I’ve listed where I got the items below but truly most of the things on the table were from the dollar store. You can truly use whatever Easter items you have at home and supplement with some cute Easter paper plates and food holders. My main goal was to create something fun that didn’t take a lot of time and was not expensive. I Used food/snack items that I happen to have on hand at the time and didn’t buy anything fancy like Easter bunny shaped cookies although those would have been adorable! I want to show you that creating something like this does not need to take a lot of time (just a pitstop to the dollar store while you are out) and you can use food you have on hand to create something the kids will enjoy and delight in.

PARTY DECOR DIY: LARGE BLOCK LETTERS

As I’ve mentioned before I really love party decor….like a lot…hence me setting up this good ol website! I love planning party decor even more when it involves friends!

I came up with the idea of making some life size ABC blocks that would occupy the empty space but also fit well into the children’s party theme.

IKEA PARTY IN A BOX

My main focus on JMS Entertaining is to help simplify your life when it comes to party planning and entertaining ideas! I try to share recipes that allow for ahead prep and are easy to put together once guests arrive. Another way of easy entertaining is showcasing resources that help with regards to decor and party setup. I understand not everyone has time to make a 10 foot balloon backdrop or hand glue buttons on everyone’s party hat….and that’s ok!

I’m not sure if you are aware but IKEA has ventured into the party supply business. I’m loving it but I was originally surprised – not like they haven’t covered every other product possible already! They have started selling “party in a box” type products which provide you the basics to create a fun kids’ themed party. This is great for people that just do not have the time to go out and buy every single item separately to put together the party theme themselves. The kit I purchased was a woodland creatures version and it is adorable!
