We made the birthday banner out of paper plates, ribbon, stencils, and pipe cleaner.
Caterpillar balloons - We made a few of these around the house, but with four little boys at the house, the ones lower to the ground didn't stay in the caterpillar shape very long. :)
The cake - cupcakes, one round cake, Hershey's kisses for the feet and nose, nutter butter cookies and m&m's for the eyes, and pipe cleaner for the antennas. Luckily, Kohl's was having an Eric Carle charity event so I was able to find a stuffed Hungry Caterpillar and the book for a good price. We had everyone who attended the party sign the book.
I tried to include all of the food from the caterpillar's Saturday binge.
For the cherry pie, I found this simple recipe on Pillsbury.com.
For the games, we had a cute butterfly pinata. I always forget to hand out party favors when the guests are leaving so I just handed out party bags and let the kids go crazy collecting the candy. The kids didn't seem to mind!
We tried playing "hot caterpillar," but that didn't go over so well...
Happy Birthday little guy! Poor boy had a cold. This is the 2nd year he's had to go to the doctor on his birthday; thankfully, this time is was much less serious than last year (he had bronchiolitis and was on breathing treatments)! Let's hope next year is better.
I think he still had a lot of fun and was partied out by the end of the night!
