It's no surprise that when E turned 3 she wanted a Puppy Party. This week I'll be showing you how we celebrated her birthday puppy-style, as well as canine-themed books your own pups will love!
We greeted our guests with a stop at the groomers. Here they received their puppy ears and collars. The ears were easy and cheap! I bought a pack of neutral-colored kids headbands and glued felt floppy "ears" to them. A brown eyeliner supplied the whiskers and nose.
Once they were decked out, we sat them down at a table with pony beads, string, and little tags labeled with their initials.
Even the two-year-old was able to thread the beads with a little assistance.
Once the transformation was complete, they were sent to the dog house!
Isn't she the cutest puppy ever? Almost as cute as this little guy...

If you get a chance, check out one of the McDuff books. Each of them is more delightful than the last!
Almost as delightful as my own dear children! ;)

ReplyDeleteWhat a great blog you have here! My 15 month old daughter loves books already--I'll definitely be back to read your recommendations!
ReplyDeleteLove that first pic of your kids and the dogs. We have 3 dogs, so our house is doggy madness!
A two year old now all grown up into a four year old insisted on wearing his "collar" just yesterday. And the dog ears made an appearance under a knight's helmet last week. Why limit dress-up to just being a knight, when you can be a doggy knight?
ReplyDeleteI love the party idea. You look like you have as much fun as the kids:)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love it - your little girl looks so cute with her dog accessories on! I love her cheeks!
