Parker's 2nd Birthday- Handy Manny

So, here I am again... I am going backwards, this I know. However, in order to not only celebrate my boy I also want to share any ideas that may help anyone plan for their child's birthday. Last year, Handy Manny was the theme. Here are some ideas and pics... please enjoy.

I made character decorations from a projector and colored them in with Crayola markers. Due to the fact that there were no Handy Manny decorations at this time. :) Kids entered only to stop by Kelly's Hardware Store to receive their hard hats (Oriental Trading) with his/her name, for example "Handy Parker." They then went to decorate and "fix" their own backpack (purchased at Michaels for $1.00 each- what a bargain!:))different stations:

Kids stopped by to make a sandy necklace

Decorated sugar cookies- what fun!

For other decor, I had balloons coming out of red construction cones, the Handy Manny banner purchased at a party supply store, and of course balloons everywhere- including punch balloons for every child. Party bags included a set of play tools, bubbles, and some fruit snacks. :)
