DORA PARTY!

so i have to share the cutest birthday party that my sister just did for her twinners.(i'm getting to the point where i need to start carrying around disclaimers for everyone to sign!)

turns out...swiper stole the PARTY cupcakes (dang that swiper!!!)

so everyone got outfited with some backpacks....
it's foam...hot glue...and yarn around the sides! (my daughter LOVES It!)



time to check the map!
first up..troll bridge...then finding forest...then swipers hideout

TROLL BRIDGE....


 turns out the bridge has holes in it! luckily backpack has the pieces that match!!!!
after we all crossed
 it was time to check the map again....
(requires a lot of concentration)


FINDING FOREST: there were fun pictures all taped up around the forest...the kids had to search in their backpacks for pieces that matched....


 found them!!!!!
map time again!
one stop left!
SWIPER'S HIDEOUT!!!!

luckily..swiper was outside...



all the kids had to do was pin the tail on him...

headed into swiper's hideout.....

we found the cupcakes!!!

time to eat!!!
(my sister mentioned nick jr.com for the swiper and map printables!)

happy birthday a and b...aunt kimmy loves you...

    Oh my gosh. I think that is, quite literally the cutest, funnest birthday party I've ever seen. And I don't even like Dora! But my daughter does...
    There are very very few cartoon character birthdays that I think have been done really well and aren't tacky... this is totally one of them!
    I'm pinning it. Hope your sister doesn't mind my copying every single thing.

    That's absolutely amazing! My little girl is all about Dora now and I'm sure she would love this kind of a birthday party.
    Kisses for your sister!

    We are using this idea for my daughter's birthday, thank you! One question: how did your sister attach the straps? That looks like there was more than a glue gun at work there;-)

    the straps are reinforced with staples!
