Today was our playgroup's 2nd anniversary so we celebrated with a rainbow themed birthday party. I made those rainbow cookie pops and a rainbow cake and had a magic rainbow drink station. The cake was 6 layers with each layer being a different color of the rainbow. It was frosted in white vanilla frosting and then I used Skittles to make a rainbow on top and of course, marshmallows for clouds! The drink station was a huge hit with the kids! I found the KoolAid that is flavored but clear and made a couple of gallons of it. I then split it into my clear pitchers and used food coloring to dye them the primary colors- red, yellow and blue. The kids had a great time mixing their drinks to be their favorite colors. I made a lot of purple! But there were requests for green, orange, red, yellow, blue and a few mixed them all!! Fun!
Our friends also helped by bringing snack foods in the colors of the rainbow: strawberries, watermelon, Tang, bananas, pineapple, green Fruit roll ups, blue tortilla chips, and purple jelly on pb&j sandwiches. We also had rainbow goldfish crackers, figs, and any number of other things that I am sure I am forgetting.
We strung Froot Loops on string to make necklaces, had a pinata, and a bunch of little goodie bag treats including bubbles and sunglasses. All the kids also had leis if they wanted them.
I am exhausted from the heat and carrying all of the party stuff and setting it up, but it was worth it! The kids had a blast!
