Owl birthday cake
Quick sketch of what the birthday girl wanted her cake to look like.
Owl sandwiches
Thank you Coop (local supermarket in Switzerland) for making these little owl cookies.
Perfect.
"Angry owl" game
We played our version of Angry Birds.
We used one of these soft soccer balls ..
(photo source: flickr)
and "camouflaged" it as an owl. (it kinda looks like an owl, right? don't be mean...:)
...launched the owl with this contraption.
..and knocked over these targets.
(yep, that's a cereal box behind the pig faces. it worked.)
Tattoos
Take a sheet or a piece of fabric. Make sure it's nice and wrinkled.
Absolutely no ironing, so that it looks just great in your pictures.
Like so.
We used these cute woodland designs by ellinee and printed them on tattoo paper.
"Melt the ice" game
Saw this fun game here.
(How perfect would it be for an Ice Age party?)
Each child got his own little block of ice with a bouncy ball in it.
Scavenger hunt and owl piñata
We had a scavenger hunt to find the lost owl (piñata).
Owl bag favors (for the girls)
No tutorial here - it's just a basic little bag with a strap and zip closure,
but you can download the pattern pieces for the owl design HERE.
Other ideas
These toilet paper roll ornaments could've made a cute decor.
