Elves Wanted: Holiday Class Party

I know we have not even gotten to Halloween yet...

But I am so far behind I am just now sharing my

daughters 2nd grade class party from last year!

On with the party and details!

I decided on an Elves Wanted theme party!

Classic colors of Red, White, and Green decorations

As you know with class parties, you have about 30 minutes to set up!

That puts party people to the test!

I love the rush though!

Does that make me crazy?

Here are the details....

The kids had sweet treats and played a few games and crafts!

Cupcakes serve a crowd!

I used a cardboard box and wrapped it up with white paper like a gift!

I used a second smaller box to display these swirled lollipops.

Popcorn and sweets!

One of the kids favorite treats are Rice Kripies!

I drizzled these with red chocolate and arranged them standing

for a more interesting display.

I hand stamped these flat spoons with "Fa, La, La, La, La",

and inserted them into the treat!

My very sweet cookie friend on Etsy at

A Cookie Jar

made these cookies specifically to match my

printable set!  They were so cute...and TASTY!

After a few treats it was time for Reindeer games....

Pin the nose on the Reindeer!



Each student decorated a cocoa cup insert

to take home and enjoy over the holiday break.

This was my last year to host an intimate class party!

This year it is done as a grade level?

How does you school do it?

Never to early to start planning those holiday parties!

You can find all of these Elf Printables in my Etsy Shop!

Come by and see this party and many others!

Flurry of Fun

My daughters first grade class celebrated
with a holiday party last Friday.
After winning a giveaway on Pocas Cosas
from Spaceships and Laserbeams,
my theme was set in motion.

Flurry of Fun!
Blue and white color scheme
set up the look of the party.

I couldn't believe it when I found material
that matched the colors of the printables!
I love it when stuff like that happens!

I had so much fun with the party!
Here are all of the details!

Main Sweets Table....

The cupcake display was my favorite item on the table!
I purchased 2 boxes and wrapped them in white paper.
I added some details with the ribbon, label, snowman on top.

Popcorn cones...
I made these out of the regular solo
drinking cones that you can buy in the store.
I attached a fun label and a inserted
a wooden skewers into a foam block

to hold up the cones.
I covered the foam in blue chocolate balls.

Snowballs...aka powdered sugar donuts

Snowflake cookies....

I found these mini lollipops
that matched the colors perfectly!

Cocoa to go
Served as party favors to take home.

I hope you enjoyed this
Flurry of Fun!

Centerpiece Love...

I will be the first one to admit it...
I cannot arrange flowers!
Maybe I should take a class.

With that said....
I think I could pull this one off.

I love the classic Christmas colors
of the red and white.

I might have to try this one!
