"The Best Bug Party EVER!"

Inch, Crawl, Fly or Hop on into my party...
 

Hey, check out my paper garland above inspired by TomKat Studio. When I saw her tutorial, I knew I had to make it for the party.



Here's some more Bug Bites...




The "dirt" cakes were so delicious.  Who knew oreo crumbs and buttercream were a heavenly combination!?

The kids had a blast with the activities.
We caught bugs all over the house (it was pouring down rain outside!)


Little artists bloomed as we colored "bug jars"...



Dragonflies dropped from the sky
(totally inspired by Kate's Garden Party by TomKat Studio) 

and my favorite facepainter, Susanne, turned our faces and hands into bugs.

Feeding Time
After being busy bees, we swormed to some refreshments!
mmm, bug juice

and sweets!

The guests took these favors back to their nests
glow in the night bug lights
insect silly bands

nets for chasing fireflies
(thank you Target Dollar Spot!)
