For my sons Easter party this year I decided to have a Easter egg theme. I started with the invitaions. I made two different invitations.  One that was hand delivered and the other one was mailed. For the hand delivered one my kids helped me make Easter baskets that looked like a chick.  I took a empty plastic cereal bowl and had my kids paint them different colors.  Then they glued on feathers for wings and the tail. Then I hot glued a pom pom to the front for the head. My kids glued on two googly eyes and a pipe cleaner beak.  I then attached a handle made from construction paper then filled it with Easter grass, a few candies, and a plastic Easter egg that had a yellow pom pom inside decorated to look like a chick. It was holding a sign that said Your Invited To An Eggtastic Easter Party and below it had the date and time. For the mailed invitaions I took a piece of cardstock and cut it out in the shape of an egg.  Then my kids decorated it with stickers, markers, glitter, and feathers.  On the front I wrote the same as on the baskets then wrote all the info on the back.  I placed them in an envolope along with some Easter stickers and Easter grass.  I then sealed each one with an egg shaped sticker. 

For the decorations I started with the front yard. I had four big cardboard Easter eggs, a cardboard basket filled with eggs, and bunch of plastic eggs laying on the ground. I made the eggs by cutting egg shapes from cardboard then painted them to look like Easter eggs.  I then attached a piece of metal from an old hanger to the back so they would stick in the ground.  Finally I covered them in plastic wrap so they would be protected from the weather. I then made the basket by taking an old box that was shaped like the bottom of a basket and painted it. Then I attached a handle that I cut from cardboard to the box. I then filled it with Easter grass, plastic eggs and tied a big bow to the handle.  Going up my stairs to my front door I had plastic eggs hanging from my railings and bunny feet painted with washable paint on the steps leading to my porch, egg lights hanging around the top of my porch and a egg wreath hanging on my door. For the egg lights I dryed out gourds that were in the shape of eggs and then drilled a small hole in the top just big enough for a strand of lights to fit through.  I then painted each one to look like a Easter egg.  For the egg wreath I took an old wreath and covered it in a bunch of different colored plastic eggs and attached a big bow to the front.  Inside my house I had inflatable eggs hanging from the ceiling (Party City) and egg garland around all the door ways. (WalMart)

For the kids table I had a egg tablecloth, Easter plates with a bunny holding a basket full of eggs, blue silverware, egg napkins, egg shaped plastic cups with a straw, egg shaped balloon tied to each chair, big bowl of egg shaped candies in the middle of the table, small chick coming out of an egg, and on the wall behind the table was a big paper tree that my sons helped me make with paper eggs on each branch that had the name of each child attending the party on it. When the guests started to arrive I had the kids make egg chicks.  Each kid had a yellow egg shaped styrofoam ball that I painted before the party, orange foam feet, foam beak, foam wings, googly eyes, and a yellow feather. The kids glued the feet, beak, eyes, wings, and feather to the egg.

After everyone arrived and was done with the craft we ate lunch. We had bunny deviled eggs,(I made deviled eggs then cut baby carrots into fours and placed two carrots on each for ears, olive eyes, and a small pink marshmallow nose.) jello shaped like eggs, cupcakes decorated like eggs, egg shaped cookies, Easter basket rice crispy treats with jelly bean eggs, (Make rice crispy treats using fruity pebbles cereal and press into muffin pans and let set.  After they have formed into the basket shape add a licorice handle, green coconut and the jelly beans.)Egg shaped cheese ball with crackers, (Favorite cheese ball recipe shaped into an egg and decorated with red and green peppers) and egg shaped pizza. (I rolled out pizza dough in the shape of an egg then decorated the top with peppers, mushrooms, etc.)

After everyone was done eating we played a few games.  Egg Toss-The kids had to try and toss plastic eggs into a basket and whoever got the most in won, Egg Roll-I gave each kid an egg then they had to get on their hands and knees and roll the egg with their nose to the finish line, Spoon race-Each kid got a spoon and a plastic egg. They had to try and balance the egg on the spoon and walk to the finish line.  If they dropped the egg they had to pick it up and place it back on the spoon. (Adults helped the younger kids.) The prizes were egg shaped bubbles, egg shaped chalk, and egg shaped silly putty.  After games the kids decorated hardboiled eggs using crayons, stickers, and makers and they each planted a flower in a egg shaped pot.(Lowe's)  Finally we had an egg hunt.  I hid a bunch of plastic eggs outside in my yard. I sectioned it off into three age groups.  Three and Under, Four-Six, and Seven and up.  They were filled with candy, balls, Easter Stickers, balloons, small bubbles, dried fruits, and Easter Tattoos.  After the egg hunt I gave each child their treat bag (egg shaped basket filled with chocolate eggs, stuffed chick coming out of an egg and a egg lollipop) and then it was time to go home.

All the kids had a lot of fun and they all said they can't wait until next years party.
