Maya’s Rainbow Party

Maya turned 11 on Monday!
So we decided to do a very last minute after school tea for her four best friends…

I decided to set it up loosely as a ‘rainbow theme’, hence the ‘rainbow’ of balloons, and the coloured streamers and paper plates.
I found ‘Pink and Green Mama’ ‘s blog, and got a few ideas from there – such as the 7-up, which was coloured with a drop of food colouring – blue, yellow and red in separate jugs – which when mixed made green, orange or purple. This was VERY popular!

Also on the blog, and something we’ve done before – a decorate your own cupcake ‘activity’ with rainbow coloured icing…

..rainbow cookies…

..and my favourite, rainbow fruit kebabs….

The girls were very happy…

…especially the birthday girl of course…

…and to take home, a small bag of rainbow sweets….

As this was a last minute ‘party’ only to last a short while (two of the girls had after school activities to attend), I didn’t arrange any party games. However, I didn’t need to – the girls went outside and played happily for a good hour or so before it was time to go home!
A simple – and very successful party! 😄🌈🎁🎈
