Last semester our Co-Op used "Oh, the Places You'll Go" as the theme for Kindergarten graduation. I decided to save a little on decorations and use the same theme for my little man's first birthday! It turned into more of an all out Dr. Seuss experience.
I used Oreo cookies with lifesavers and crème savers stacked on top of each other with icing to make "Cat in the Hat" snacks.
Green Eggs & Ham!
I had two different kinds of green eggs. I just made deviled eggs for one and soaked the whites in water with green food coloring before I filled them with the yolks.
For the other "eggs," I took white Wilton melts and put them on top of pretzels. They melted in the oven at 300 degrees for about five minutes and then I stuck on a mint green M & M.
Jelly beans made great Truffula seeds and the ham to go with the green eggs was just ham sandwiches on Hawaiian rolls.
One Fish, Two Fish.... Red Fish, Blue Fish!
Goldfish with Swedish fish and gummy sharks.
Truffla trees were made by wrapping cotton candy around dum dum suckers. The only problem I had with these was that the cotton candy started dissolving really quickly, so wait until the very last minute to make them!
My amazing friend, Stephanie, made glittery rainbow cake pops and a perfect smash cake to make the party extra Seuss-ical!
Tables were decorated with Dr. Seuss books and sprinkled with puffy craft balls. I hang lanterns from the ceiling and used the truffala trees my awesome friend Emily made for Kindergarten graduation. She used colorful snack cups and glued a piece of floral foam. She then made the top of the tree from tissue paper and attached it to a dowel rod. She stuck the rod in the floral foam and sprinkled paper craft grass on top.
This precious boy had an amazing day! And his mommy did too.
