We donut want Summer to end| Party Fun with Cheerios™
June 29, 2017
To beat Summer boredom, I had a full afternoon planned out for them! I thought of ways to keep them busy and even created an easy "donut" toss game. I also thought of a fun craft project, using Cheerios™.
I brought my boys' teepee outside and started getting everything ready for our party. I kept the decor simple, and the colors bright & cheery. For starters, I created a Cheerios™ banner and hung it on their teepee. Then, I set out a wooden crate and filled it with boxes of our favorite cereal! I also found fun ways to incorporate donuts into our party decor.

For the party table, I used a white paper roll as a table cover. (It's one of my favorite things to use right now). To add a little fun to the paper table cover, I doodled swirls, arrows, and confetti too!
Fun photo props are also a must! I created a simple sign for the kids to pose with. We donut want Summer to end - no we don't!
I set out coordinating paper plates, cake stands topped with goodies, and donut "seeds", made from Cheerios™!
My boys are at the perfect age for playing games. They love a little friendly competition. If it involves tossing, throwing, or jumping... they're up for the challenge! To go along with our Summer donuts + Cheerios™ theme, I created an easy donut toss.
The object of the game is to loop all your donut Cheerios™ onto the spoon! So easy, and lots of fun! My boys enjoyed playing the game longer than I thought they would.
With all the supplies, the game cost less than $10 to make. While shopping at Walmart for our weekly box of Cheerios™ I picked up a few supplies: a wooden spoon, paint, and 3 green styrofoam hoops. I spray painted the hoops, added some yellow "sprinkles" and waited for everything to completely dry.
Cheerios™ aren't just for eating! You can create neat craft projects with them as well. The fun part: extra ceral "supplies" can be eaten up! This simple craft was perfect for my boys, especially because they are really great at playing with their food. I picked up some wooden letters from Walmart and had the boys make Cheerios™ letter art!
It was a super simple project and the boys loved it! Cute, right?!
Our Summer has been packed with lots of fun so far, and we can't wait to continue crafting & snacking with Cheerios™

Oh man... do I have a weakness for chocolate Cheerios! They are my favorite snack at work.
ReplyDeleteWe are spending the first half of summer hibernating while I finish my last two course of college and then we have a camping trip, weekend on the coast, and an international trip in the works. :)
