Practically perfect in every way nanny

seeks adorable children to come

and celebrate ..... 5th birthday
We'll play games, all sorts
sing songs, give treats
The day wont be grey and ordinary
 Arrive at 3pm and stay until the wind changes

 Spit spot
our celebration would be quite unsatisfactory without You!

COSTUMES

Straw hats for the girls

Straw boaters for the boys

Mary Poppins (mum dressed up)

Etsy

Bert / Chimney Sweep (dad dressed up)

"A sweep is lucky as lucky can be,
good luck will rub off when I shakes hand with you,
blow me a kiss and that's lucky too."

Get everyone to shake hands or blow a kiss to the sweep.

DECORATIONS

Use children's building blocks to say Happy Birthday.

Umbrellas hung open.

Chimney sweep brushes

I adore these helium balloon carousel horse balloons.....

party wishes

the roof top scape is amazing

Paper Kites

BUNTING

SETTING THE SCENE

use the free disney font from here
for the two signs
Put a sign on the front door saying
"The position in now filled"


Also hang a sign at the bottom/top of the stairs
"No sliding down the bannister"

When the kids arrived we used a tape measure and measured them from tip to toe.
We had pre-made name badges for them (with the Disney font ) with their name and   

For example:
 practically perfect in every way for Mary Poppins
extremely stubborn and suspicious
rather inclined to giggle 
and doesn't put thing away


GAMES

Tuppence Toss

 

Made with a bed sheet and fabric paints
from family fun

A Very Respectable Horse Race

Sidewalk  Chalk Art

one of Berts from the movie.

"you think, you wink, you do a double blink
you close your eyes and jump" 9into the chalk drawing)

(RAIN OPTION - a large roll of black poster paper that ran from end to end of a pasting table
and light colored chalk so the kids could make their own chalk drawings)

Step In time!

musical statues

Mary Poppins says
 Simon Says



Penguin Skittles

We made a set of penguin skittles from coldrink bottles.

Pin The Tie On The Penguin

or
 Pin the tail on the kite. The children used the ribboned name tags as kite tails.

Spoonful Of Sugar Relay

 where the children race to fill a tea cup full of sugar using teaspoons.

Musical Chimneys

I Love To Laugh (we ended with this game)

"I always say there's nothing like a good joke,
and that was nothing like a good joke!"

Tell them a few jokes
(they were told to try to keep a straight face as long as they could)
If they laughed they were out



Then we said "think of something sad"
"the wind has changed, time to go home"

And home time it was...
