For many nights when I tugged the kids to bed, I asked Ching Ern (during our girls talks!) what she wanted for her 5yo birthday party theme. Her answer has been consistent --> Hello Kitty!
About 1+ month prior to the party, I have decided to do a 'art and craft' session with the girls. Btw, her friends are all girls, so that make things much easy to plan! Being a scrapbooker myself, I have lots of scrapbook material with me. So I thought it should be easy.
Well, it turned out not as easy as I thought since I wanted things to go along with the Hello Kitty theme. I started to google for ideas on craft work, how to decorate the house, party food, etc. It turned out either the idea is too complicated for 5-6 yo to handle or I personally find it too complicated to do it myself!! :-)
In the end, I have to look for simple craft ideas and 'customized' myself. I started to do 1 sample of each craft work to have a feel how it looks like. At the same time, I know sample will create more "visual excitement" for the girls. Oh well, a sample also help me to explain the steps easier.
Then I started to prepare six sets of material for the girls. The measuring, cutting, sticking took a while and luckily, I have helper to help me.
As there were quite a number of craft work to do, I have packed them nicely in individual bags and label them accordingly. Ha, take it as I am an organized person :-)
If you see the box clearly, it's actually a shoes box. So, I packed all the staff into a shoe box and printed out a photo and stick on top.
Stay tuned for more...
