Happy birthday, Mr. Contractor! Let’s hear it for little A. who knew exactly what theme he’d like to celebrate his big fourth year. And, thanks to a very loving mom and dad (who are both obviously really big fans of his incredibly vivid imagination), this was the construction birthday party to beat all! I happen to know that mom, interior designer and hip kid stuff guru Nancy Breslin, master-minded the whole shindig. It’s evident that she has a creative flair and tenacity for organizing a large group of small kids and lots and lots of paint. How she’ll top this one, I don’t know! For some really stylish tips for your kids be sure to check out Nancy’s blog Cohabitot.
Can they paint it? Yes they can, and they surely did. I’m still in awe of the creative insights and abilities of young children. After each guest was equipped with hardhat and apron, the “work” began. No need for instructions, tutorials or “let me show you how”–they just instinctively picked up a brush or roller and got to it. Boys and girls alike dug in and transformed the plain cardboard structures into a rainbow of rowhouses in the backyard. Big fun, beautiful “handyman” cake from Flour Patch Bakery and brilliant birthday wishes all around.
A big shout-out to Barista Kids for sending you this colorful party Postcard from Kidsville!
