Since her favorite show is Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, it was an easy choice for the theme. I had been planning this for about six months, and over the last three weeks I started assembling and hanging decorations. I ordered the birthday cake and decided to buy a chicken nugget tray to save time, but other than that I put everything together with the help of Aunt Katie and Willa's godmother Sandi. I particularly liked how cute the tiger balloons that Sandi made turned out!
Since I knew there would be about nine toddlers in attendance, I decided to arrange centers based on the various characters from the show. That way, the kids could spread out and explore at their leisure without them necessarily grouping into an uncontrollable toddler melee. It seemed to work very well! The only center that didn't get a lot of attention was the coloring pages and the blocks. The music and the cookie decorating were the biggest hits!
Such a beautiful day, and big thanks to Sandi for taking such amazing photographs!
