Planning a Hoe-Down

When you mail your invites make sure to use the birthday party. Use your farm animal stickers to close and decorate your invitation envelopes. This is a project you can trust your little one to help with so they will feel a part of the planning. My boys love helping with the invites.

Ask everyone to come dressed in overalls. Dress your little one in overalls with a bandanna and cowboy hat.

When they arrive give them a bandanna or cowboy hat to wear. Fold a red bandanna in half to create a triangle and tie small tips in a loose knot.

If your budget permits, hire a petting zoo of baby animals to come to the party.
