Teddy Bear Picnic Party


 
My sweet daughter turned 3 in January this year and we decided to throw her a Teddy Bear Picnic birthday party.  I had this large jar hanging around and filled it with a "trail mix" of Teddy Graham crackers, mini marshmallows & cheerios. 
I found these cute teddy bear wood hooks at the dollar store along with little paint sets for a dollar as well, and gummy bears to inspire the little artists.
I made homemade chocolate cupcakes with green frosting to make grass and flowers made from the leftover mini marshmallows and m&m's and little teddy graham bear's.  Each little girl got to take home a basket which I found at Joann Fabrics and I was able to use my 40% off coupon which made them very affordable.  I filled each basket with Teddy Graham crackers, a little notepad (4 for $1), and a pen.
I ended up buying about 3 yards of gingham fabric for the table and hutch and some gingham ribbon to pull everything together. 
It was fun to sing the Teddy Bear Picnic song, do the "live" version of "Going on a Bear Hunt", and paint the teddy bear hooks.
