Bird themed crafty party


 For Connie in West Dulwich London we created this bird themed arts and craft 6th birthday party. 
Connie's mum specifically asked for this chocolate cake, iced with white chocolate and decorated this this birds nest.


These woven baskets/ nests were really lovely in the brightest felt colours I could find! These were a little tricky but they enjoyed the challenge.


Usually we give the children paint for these birdhouses but this time we tried tissue paper, felt flowers and leaves... They really got into making these and could have gone on forever! We told a story all together whilst they made these, each other the girls added a line to the story of Connie the bird and her adventure through an enchanted forest!



 The final craft activity we made were these great bird puppets with feathers, eyes and beaks! This was a nice easy and enjoyable craft.
