I posted about this little mailbox a while back. The activities for the party revolved around this mailbox. Each of the characters from the most current version of Strawberry Shortcake sent a letter to the girls at the party with an activity for them to do. We started out with Raspberry Torte. For those unfamiliar with the Strawberry Shortcake show, Raspberry Torte runs a fashion boutique.
Raspberry sent a letter along with a special package to our party goers so that they could party in style.
Each girl got an apron to wear and take home after the party.
They also got a pink gumball necklace. I saw the idea for the necklace here. I wanted to have the girls make them at the party but after doing a test necklace, it was way too difficult to thread the ribbon through for little hands to do unassisted.
I was surprised that only my youngest daughter ate the gumballs during the party. She just couldn't resist but everyone else wore them the whole time like a necklace.

ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! Congratulations on a job well done! Can you please share how you made the cards from the characters?
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Did you make the aprons? If so where did you get the fabric? I love it!
ReplyDeletethank you for posting about your daughters strawberry shortcake party. we are using your wonderful ideas for my daughters' birthday too in a couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteI am curious where you found your characters face print out/cut outs? I am doing the same ideas with the colored cards and i wanted to have their character face on the bottom of the card, but i am having trouble finding the print out/cut outs.
thanks,
jenny
