Rainbow Party {activities}

 I'm back, as promised, with the activities from Charly's Rainbow Party.

As I said, we did 7 activities.  One for each color of the rainbow.

But I couldn't just leave it at that.

No.  I had to make a little poem for the kids to read to take us from activity to activity.

So, here we go!

Each station was labeled with the color and activity.

I used fabric, paper, whatever I had in my stash to bring as much of that color's activity into the area.

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, and Pink.

We'll get the fun started in just a blink.

On the red table is a creative task.

Grab some glitter and glue and decorate a mask.

Orange comes next in the rainbow, it's true

An orange box is up next for you, too.

Find the orange box and open it up.

Our next bit of fun is a little dress up.

Yellow is the color of the sun

And for you it means some ring-toss fun.

Out on the patio you will go

To practice your ring-toss throw.

 Across the green grass we will go

to crawl, jump, hop, and even throw.

To start the race, find the giant green arrow.

To reach the finish line, follow the rainbow.

 {There were 7 parts to the obstacle course:

1.  tip toe through the red flowers

2.  weave through the orange cones

3.  leap through the yellow "sun" (hoola hoop)

4.  crab walk through the green grass

5.  run under the "blue sky" (tarp)

6.  toss the purple eggs into the basket

7.  hop over the pink finish line

We've worn ourselves out with our little race

So let's slow things down with a change of pace.

Grab a drink and a snack, then take a seat.

Charly will open presents and we'll have a little treat.

 A rainbow of colors to adorn our nails

is what fills this little pail

So head on over to the purple flower

To paint your nails and get some girl power!

At the end of this rainbow is a great big explosion

Don't worry, it won't hurt you though it may cause some confusion.

So grab a bag and meet by the pink wall

For a down pour of candy, you'll bring home quite a haul!

If you have never experienced a candy cannon you are missing out!

It literally BLASTS candy across the yard.

They have become a tradition in our family on most holidays that the weather permits.

(I'm guessing brown slush covered smarties aren't the best ;)

I hope you enjoyed Charly's party and found a little inspiration for your child's magical day!

Thanks for stopping by!
