Cloudy with a chance of meatballs

Happy Birthday, Brendan!  

Brendan's favorite movie right now is "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs". His Uncle and Aunt sent the movie and it came with a cute umbrella.  As I was checking out some fun blogs the other day I came across one that had this awesome idea for spaghetti and meatball cupcakes!  PERFECT!  We turned his birthday party into a party all about food!  

ACTIVITIES:

• Edible playdough, made with peanut butter and honey

• Noodle throwing, overcooked spaghetti noodles until they were sticky and threw them at a target painted on a plain colored plastic tablecloth

• Jello- a must have for this party!  We used local gelatin which is much firmer and doesn't melt in the heat!  I made 6 or 8 packages and then cut them up into large cubes.  Put it in large containers and the kids had to reach in and dig for marbles.  This might have been the best activity.  The jello was cold and refreshing for the kids to play in.  By the end of the party they were "swimming" in it!

• Last, but not least, water balloons, just to send everyone home clean!
