Cailey's Dora Birthday Party

Yesterday was Cailey's birthday party. We had a Dora themed party and it was a blast! We had the kids go on an adventure. As you saw in a previous post I made packs for each of the kids I put a telescope and flashlight in each of the packs for them to use for the adventure.
We started out the adventure by showing the kids the map. Ben found all the Dora songs so we played map song and then had the kids repeat the directions to the rainbow.

We handed out the kids packs while we played the backpack song.

We started out our adventure with the red stepping stones. The kids were crossing a river with several of the stones missing. The kids had the missing stones in their backpacks so they had to put in the missing stepping stones in order to cross the river.
The kids ended up at the picnic blanket. They snacked on cheese sticks (looks like a map) and juice boxes to reenergize for their adventure.

Then we went to star valley where the kids used their telescopes to looked for stars. Once we found all the stars we counted them up together. I just count out 20 stars from construction paper.
Then the kids went through the red tunnel, but since it was dark the kids used a flashlight from their backpack to get through the tunnel.  The tunnel was a piece of fabric that is sold at JoAnnes it is made as a tube. You just buy it and it is ready to go. It so much fun to play with this tunnel, I highly recommend it!

Here is the youtube link to view a video of the kids crawling through the red tunnel.


We then went through the spooky spiderweb. Which was just some yarn I strung between the crib and the door.
Then the kids arrived at the rainbow! The rainbow was our cake. The kids loved it.
