Peter's 6th Birthday Party

I decided on having an under water theme for Peter this year. He loves sharks and other creatures from under the water. I knew he would love this for a party. I bought most of my stuff off the internet and got other ideas from there. I wanted the party to have an under the water feel, so I bought yellow, blue, and green streamers and put them in rows on the ceiling, pinning them at different points. I also bought dangles and two puffer fish to hang from the ceiling. I didn't do anything else for the walls except some crepe paper and a happy birthday banner. I decorated the table with tablecloths that look like waves and some sea creatures. I had a sand art craft for the kids with containers that were shaped like an octopus, fish, and starfish. The kids loved them! I also had a pin the turtle on the submarine game. We also did a fishing game were we hung up a blanket, the kids dipped fishing poles over the blanket, pulled them up and they got a prize. We also did a treasure hunt where we spray painted an old styrofoam ice chest. We hit it in the house and the kids had to follow clues to find the chest. They loved it! For food we served Octopus (hotdogs), buoys (tater tats), clam cookies (vanilla wafers, with frosting), penguin food (gold fish, pretzels, raisins, and peanuts), and sea plants (veggies). We also served apple juice and water. Everyone seemed to enjoy it! Peter said it was his best birthday ever! Until the next one that is.
