kreations by Kristen: Angry Birds Birthday Party

This year my son is obsessed with all things Angry Birds. So of course we had to do his birthday party in that theme! I wasn't so keen on the idea at first, but it ended up turning out great, and most importantly, he had a great time!! Sorry for the junky pictures! My camera was OF COURSE acting up that day. :(

Craft Table

Favor Bags (Plain bags, and I printed out the bird faces, and glued them on)

For the food, it was simple snacks. With this theme, it was great! There were so many Angry Birds Brand foods, I couldn't resist buying them all! I used containers to match my colors (most were bought at the local Dollar Tree) and I glued my bird and pig faces to them!

Angry Birds Cheeze-its (Pig Food).

Chips and Salsa (Bird Chips)

Poppin Mad Popcorn

Gummy Worms (Bird Food)

Angry Birds Graham Crackers (Angry Grahams)

Angry Birds Fruit Gummies (Bird Seed)

Olive (Bird Bombs)

Bird Juice was just Hawaiian Punch

I love making water bottle labels for my parties. It really pulls the theme together! And I named them "Bird Bath Filler!" :-)

He wanted Lemon cupcakes. That was my first time making them... they wee good! The frosting was lemon too. (I even had real lemon and zest in it I know, I am getting so fancy!)

These were a hit, and so easy to make!

Bird’s Nests

2 c. butterscotch chips
1 c. peanut butter
2 c. Chow Mein noodles
Any egg shaped Easter candy (I used Robins eggs and M&M’)

Cover a baking sheet or pan with waxed or parchment paper. Either melt the butterscotch chips and peanut butter in the top of a double boiler or in the microwave (heat 1 minute, stir, continue heating in 10 second increments until melted and smooth.) Stir in Chow Mein noodles. With buttered fingers shape mixture into one big nest or individual ones. Place on prepared pan. Refrigerate until firm. Fill with jelly beans or other candy.
