My Princess turned 5 this month. Where has the time gone? It is flying by. She is such a big girl. I asked her what she wanted for breakfast on her 5th birthday and she asked for Pumpkin Pie. So I went to Costco and got a big pumpkin pie and even put sprinkles on top!
We decided to do a reptile girl birthday party for her. We had the “Reptile Man” come and show all his amazing animals. It was such a great birthday party. Even the adults loved it!
I found a great seller on Etsy who had printables called Reptile Girl. She emailed me the PDF files and I printed the graphics right on my printer at home. It was great. We had fun putting this party together. {I do admit it was stressful the day of the party! Man, my daughter is one spoiled little girl!}
So here was the menu:
- Alligator Bait: Smoked Salmon
- Snack Egg Sandwiches : Egg Salad Sandwiches
- Snake Sandwiches: Smoked Salmon and Mayo {like tuna}
- Python Pizza: Cheese pizza
- Alligator Eggs: hard boiled eggs
- Sea Grass: green salad
- Gecko Grapes: grapes
- Worms in Dirt: chocolate pudding, crushed Oreo cookies, gummi worms
- Swamp Water: bottled water and Capri Sun
I had printable reptile coloring pages, mazes, and word finds available on the table with crayons. I found some wonderful favors online at Amazon.com that worked well with this party:
We also purchased this Vinyl Inflatable Alligator Ring Toss Game
You know, even the adults loved this party! It was a hit.
Happy 5th Birthday, Princess!
Wow, I am terrified of snakes but I’m sure nobody will forget this party.
We really had a great time! A 5th birthday that she won’t forget I am sure!
It’s funny (and kind of sad) that you’re 5 year old is more brave than I am around snakes. Ha! Looks like everyone had a blast!
I stayed in the kitchen the whole time! I could see all the animals from a safe distance 🙂
WOW – it is pretty spooky
OMG, my daughter would be right up there with her too! I think that is such a cool idea for a party; mine would love it! Congrats for going with something a little less traditional 🙂
Thanks! It was fun and she did love it. Everyone did!
How fun!! We’re having a reptile party for my son’s 4th in February and I cannot wait. Love these themes the kids choose.
I can’t wait to see photos Danielle. It was a lot of fun!
What a cool theme for your little girls’ birthday! Happy Birthday!!!
All I can say is you are so brave! While the kids would LOVE a party like this, I don’t think I could bring those creatures into my house.
