Today is my youngest’s birthday and her party. It’s nice that I don’t have to aim for a weekend since she’s smack dab in the middle of Christmas\/Winter Break (depending how secular your school wants to be). And for her birthday, we’re going to do something I’ve wanted to do for a kid’s birthday for a while. Life size CandyLand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hopefully I’ve gotten all the props together by now otherwise be glad you can’t see a picture of my current emotional state. I’m going to make use of the cards I made<\/a> for my mom, printed larger for the event. I also ordered some inflatable candy canes to make a forest, a tree bookshelf that’s also the kid’s gift to festoon with cakes, there’s going to be a lollipop forest, I think the gumdrop mountains are going to be tussocks of bean bags and stuff covered in cloth, and a construction paper path. Hopefully I can make use of some of the boxes I’ve got lying around for some strange reason to make a peanut brittle cottage and a castle. Those are the plans as laid out several weeks prior to this publishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But one other thing I do have down already is the music! I built a candy playlist on Pandora, relatively carefully vetted the songs, and now I’m gonna tell you what I ended up with. I didn’t choose every song I could find with sugar or candy or so forth in the title or lyrics because, well, it’s a kid’s party and I don’t need anything really suggestive. And I got:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hopefully having these on shuffle for the whole party will provide enough variety to not feel too repetitive. If you have ideas for more songs, well, it’s TOO LATE. The party is TODAY. You should have thought of it WEEKS AGO and told me then! Sheesh. But if anyone else is doing a CandyLand-themed party, feel free to steal my work! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n Intellectual Property of Elizabeth Doman\n
