Winter Wonderland
Celebrate this holiday season with a wintry woodland-themed party that features a refreshing, subdued mint-green and red color palette instead of the classic saturated colors. Easy-to-create handmade decorations on the desk, walls -- even hanging from the rafters -- will make this a celebration to remember.
Deer On the Move
Craft time is playtime with those moveable card-stock deer. You only need scissors and brads to turn this free printable pattern in a task for all ages. For the tiniest crafters, precut the brad holes to make assembly a breeze.
Guess Who
Have a holiday photo shoot with these printable reindeer costumes. Simply attach a wooden dowel to the cutout shapes then put a costume group by each location setting so everybody is able to get into character.
Cupcake Creatures
Cosmetic figurines receive a stylish makeover to develop into these cute reindeer cupcake toppers. Click the link below for complete step-by-step directions to make your own. Find creative ways to show the cupcakes while integrating the party's woodland theme -- cut or purchase wood pieces to utilize as a stand alone.
Banner Drink Tag
Ensure that the children do not forget that beverage is theirs with a nametag that fits right in their straw. Printing our free printable PDF to maintain your party personalized and stress-free. Complement the party's color scheme by buying striped straws in mint and red.
You are Invited
Spread the term of your kid-friendly festivities with our charming party invitation. Print onto card stock then cut and slip right into a standard 5" x 7" envelope. Print additional invites on the day of the celebration and have the kids draw a picture and sign their name on the back for a wonderful souvenir.
Setting Up Smart
Top each place setting with a cupcake so children have both a toy and a treat as soon as they sit down. Surround your cupcakes with these charming wrappers to bring some festive pattern to your tablescape. Continue the theme using red-and-white cloth scraps placed under every plate -- any openings made can go directly into the wash.
Not-So-Hot Chocolate
Pair your custom straw nametags using a hot-chocolate option that's safe for the littlest partygoers. Rather than a hot drink, pour cold chocolate milk topped with whipped cream and red sprinkles. Maintain an excess pitcher nearby to avoid having to make a fresh batch midparty.
Goodie Bags Go Digital
This party is a great chance to snap holiday card photos. Rather than goodie bags, send your guests' parents photographs of this event that they can keep and cherish for a lifetime. The kids are going to enjoy looking back at photographs of them having fun with friends.
Sugar Showoff
Add raw colour to the table with an range of green and red candy. If toddlers are attending, be aware of candy dimensions and choose easy-to-chew varieties. Mix and match white and clear bowls to accentuate different colours and shapes.
Decaf Decor
Alter that heap of coffee filters you have in the cabinet into chic holiday centerpieces. Get detailed directions for this simple and kid-friendly craft below. Simply take this action to another level by allowing kids to paste on beads, glitter or pom-poms to produce their own tree that they can take home.
Edible Trees
What is a woodland-themed celebration without a few trees? These are especially enjoyable because the chocolate-covered stumps hide a sweet surprise. Have children guess what the shrub pop "stumps" are created out of and observe their enthusiasm as they bite to fluffy marshmallows. Make these woodland treats even tastier by rolling the still-wet chocolate in an range of candies.
Artisan Activity
Whether your kid is a Van Gogh or more of a Picasso, their creativity will glow when creating this mistake-proof paper-chain garland. Be sure to use water-based acrylic paint to ensure any messes are easy to wash away.
Customize Your Cupcake
Add a small number of green food coloring to white frosting to present your cupcakes a wintry mint colour. Place bowls of green, white and red sprinkles on the table so kids can turn their candy treats into works of art.
Temporary Decor
Add holiday flair to woodland decor by wrap mint-green yarn around a pair of antlers. The yarn is a no-mess solution and permits you to easily remove the embellishment following the celebration.
The Little Reindeer Which Could
Both boys and girls are sure to have fun dressing up as their favourite holiday character. Turn the reindeer props into a game or have them put on a drama.
Have Your Tree Eat It Too
Not only will kids have a blast making (and eating) marshmallow tree pops, but you'll love how they twice as entertaining table decor. Bust out the crayons and let children add vibrant ornaments to their tree or write a special holiday message on the back, but just after the marshmallows have disappeared.
Let It Snow
Live in a climate that is warm but still have the winter itch? Create a snowstorm (indoors) with all these whimsical streamers made out of marshmallows and string. Have a guessing game and allow the winner, who guesses the closest variety of marshmallows, take home a prize.
To Eat or Not To Eat
Kids are going to love stringing and watching the snowfall grow -- if they could stand not to eat it all first. Offer your marshmallow snowstorm a colour with the addition of gumdrops or other soft candy to the strands.
Faux Runner
Keep your table spill-proof by painting onto a runner instead of using a conventional cloth runner. The kids will be free to craft and play without having you be worried about the wreck. Have a table you can not bear to paint? Use strips of tape rather than paint that can be removed afterward.
Toy Decor
Spray-paint deer figurines white to give table decor that keeps kids busy and doesn't clash with your party's delicate colours. Use a spray-on shellac to seal the paint and keep them both food- and kid-safe.
Craft Closet
Enjoy an Indoor dress-up match with extra materials from the party crafts. Coffee-filter hats and marshmallow necklaces are sure to help keep your guests entertained.
Dig for Decor
Do not be so quick to discount everyday objects as party decorations. The weathered wood tones of the ladder work together with the muted decor and, better still, make the ladder look as if it came from the North Pole.
Chained Up
After the celebration is over, take the decorations down and allow the kids have some interactive fun, such as getting all tangled up in paper garland. Or divvy up the links and let each child take some home to use for a Christmas countdown.
