Little Einsteins Themed Birthday

For Julia's third birthday we held a Disney's Little Einsteins themed party. My favorite part about the Little Einsteins is how they introduce children to classical music. It's very easy to host a party centered around music.

The cake was the iconic "Rocket" from the show. The top of the ship was a cake baked in a bowl. The bottom was an oval cut from a sheet cake. I used fondant to make the windows and lights. 


 Party Favors

I love getting favors that children will play with beyond just a few days after the party. For the favors this year I turned to my favorite store, Lakeshore Learners. They sell educational toys and teaching tools to teachers and the public.
I purchased egg shakers and rhythm sticks. I was able to buy a teacher's kit (20+) and divide them among the goodie bags for an inexpensive party favor.

The advice I'm always giving when hosting a party is to visit discount stores regularly, and when you see something worthwhile buy it and put it away.  Many months before Julia's party, I was at Ocean State Job Lot and they had a shipment of discontinued Little Einsteins books. They were only a dollar, so I bought twenty and put them away for her party. The children each got a very useful and fun party bag for less than $3 worth of items.
