THE GRUFFALO PARTY IDEAS

Here's some ideas I have found for a terribly good Gruffalo party...

INVITATIONS

COSTUMES

SETTING THE SCENE

 for the back drop use Woods Wallpaper

The deep dark woods

DECORATIONS

BUNTING

acorns and leaves on vines

there is a free template for this cute acorn bunting from Amay Atlas
 I found it fiddly to cut out, as cut all one.
(I have very little patience!)

I found it easier to cut separate pieces and string them together.
