How to Train Your Dragon: Dragon Wings

The kids loved these dragon wings. I came across the tutorial while looking for party idea's on Pinterest and I knew I had to make them. I am not a sewer but even I found these easy enough.

How to Train Your Dragon: Pin the Fire on the Dragon

So I know you all would have heard of Pin the Tail on the Donkey, well this is Pin the Fire on the Dragon. Such a fun game for the kids to play. It was inspired by a How to Train Your Dragon party decoration I saw on Pinterest. 

How to Train Your Dragon: Felt Toy Dragons

A lot of the time when our children go to parties they come back with plastic toys that break the next day. I wanted to send them home with something that would last a bit longer.

How to Train Your Dragon: Dragon Eggs

Simple to make and fun to smash, these dragon eggs were a big hit with the kids. We decided to do these instead of a Pinata so each child got there own little goodies. Plus since it was Easter I thought it would be fun to make them go looking for the eggs.

How to Train Your Dragon: Cake

So cake making is really not my thing. I can do most needle crafts but when it comes to sculpting anything it looks like something a 3 year old would make. This year we were lucky enough that my father in law purchased this cake for my son's 5th birthday.

It looked amazing and tasted even better.
