Party Prep

It is party central at my house as I have been doing all the grunt work in preparation for my little guy's 4th birthday. I wasn't excited at first about his pick of a Go Diego Go party, but I have to admit that I have been having a lot of fun getting this together! I have also been cutting a LOT of stuff out! NickJr.com has a bunch of Diego related stuff, and I've been figuring out ways to use some of the printables. So here's what my dining room table looks like right now . . .


See all those green leaves? I cut them out--10 of each type. They will go on the brown paper bag vines, which I finished twisting today. I used green wrapping paper for the leaves. This pic is a little difficult to make out, but it is all the leaves traced on the paper before I cut and cut and cut.


As if that wasn't enough cutting, most of the stuff from NickJr.com has to be cut out too. I have already completed video watches, animal pictures for a banner, etc. and here is my next project . . .


These are Diego's field journal computers, which have an outside and an inside. I will be gluing them to a manila folder. They will have a list inside of all the animals the kids have to find for an animal scavenger hunt (very Diego-like, huh?) After I cut and paste 14 of these, I will move on to creating some animal tracks for our "Guess Whose Tracks" game. I can feel a hand cramp already!
