Unicorn Party

My oldest granddaughter had her sixth birthday party recently. It was her first drop off party but I was invited because it was unicorn themed and I had a great unicorn project. I first saw the unicorn ornaments on a Christmas blog post from Rambling Renovators http://www.ramblingrenovators.ca

Then I did some Pinterest surfing and came up with the elements we’d use – acrylic paint (glitter and plain), felt for ears, Sculpey horns that I’d make in advance, fabric flowers from the Dollar Store, and assorted ribbons and yarns. The children chose their paints and squeezed and swirled them into the ornaments, cut out their ears, and chose their flowers and other additions and their placement while I glued those on with a low temp glue gun. Then they drew the faces on with Sharpies. While my example, a picture I had on display, and the birthday girl’s dress, had closed eyes only, most of the children drew complete faces.

Some were quite elaborate!

Since we had the ring toss rings from last year’s flamingo party we also had a unicorn ring toss.

I made the horn from three empty thread cones covered with gold paper.

The birthday girl’s Mama, my youngest daughter, made her a beautiful unicorn dress. The mask is from another friend’s unicorn themed party a few weeks earlier.

Next up a mermaid party in June for my youngest granddaughter!
