Kaitlyn's "Tangled" Birthday Party

Yesterday was Kaitlyn's 7th Birthday Party! She wanted a rapunzel themed party. Here she is in her Rapunzel costume and her Rapunzel hair waiting to greet her guests. The Rapunzel hair is a thick yellow rope we attached to her real hair. Notice the "wanted" poster of Flynn in the background?Here's a closer look at her dress. I used a pattern... sort of.... I altered the pattern alot.

We put paper laterns over the lights in the house to look like the lanterns in the movie.

We also hung the purple sun pendants in the house and outside just like the ones you see in the movie.The birthday cake with Rapunzel in her tower. The tower is just a big batch of Rice Krispy treats molded to make the tower and then frosted. Super easy.
Notice Flynn on the watermelon boat in the blue Jello water?
Here's Kaitlyn Rapunzel enjoying a strawberry.
This is a craft that we did as the guests arrived. They are Paskel blowers. You take a blower and put it between too sheets of sticky foam and then cut it and decorate it to look like Paskel. The blower part looks just like his tongue in the movie.
Here's another fun craft we did that the girls absolutely loved. I braided yellow yarn onto a hair elastic and let them add flowers and ribbons to it just like when Rapunzel's hair was braided in the movie.
Opening gifts.
A game we played was "pin the nose on Flynn" since in the movie Flynn always complains about his nose in the wanted posters. I took a picture and removed the nose, and then made a bunch of funny looking noses to let the kids tape to it. We also hung the poster on a tree just like the first time we see the wanted poster in the movie.
Here the kids are having fun playing with Rapunzel's hair. They played a couple of rounds of tug of war, which they loved, and then wanted to do the Limbo. So fun.
And the last thing we did was hit the flower pinata with a frying pan, of course!! As you know the frying pan was Rapunzel's "weapon" in the movie. It actually worked really well.

Kaitlyn also gave out little thankyou gifts of Rapunzel's paints.
It was a great birthday party and everyone had so much fun. I had alot of fun planning it too. Now it's time for a nap. :)
