This last week we celebrated my daughter Rebekah’s 7th birthday! Like many, many little girls her age she is in love with all things Frozen and begged that I put on a Frozen Palooza for her this year.
Finances have been a little tricky for our family this year and so I needed to make sure Rebekah’s party was fun and cost effective cheap.
In total, on this party I spent about 40 dollars for materials and food
Any of these activities/snacks we used can be incorporated into a Frozen themed party or just as a fun reward activity for kids.
You will need hot water, Epsom salt, paint brushes and black poster board like paper. I bought large pieces of black poster board and cut it down into about 16 sheets.
To make the solution you will be painting with, simply mix equal parts Epsom salt and very hot water then have the kids start painting their pictures. As it dries the mixture will turn into a piece of ice crystal art! The kids really loved this one and we spent quite a bit of time doing this.
Next up on the party agenda!
I love glitter slime and my kids and I have been making slime for years. As predicted, this was a huge hit at the party! You can visit here to grab my tried and true version of the recipe I use for glitter slime.
For snacks we had popcorn, Elsa and Anna fruit snacks and Frozen punch. The punch was really yummy and I think I will make it again for other non-Frozen parties. To make it you mix Berry Blue Typhoon Hawaiian Punch with 7-up until you have your desired color and taste.
My husband has some mad free hand drawing skills and made this adorable Pin The Nose On Olaf Game!
Ignore the little smudge marks on Olaf”s face that were created by a very helpful 1 year old!
Happy birthday Rebekah!
Seven is a big deal, kind of like we think you are.
Stay Happy! Stay Informed!
Love,

My 11 year old asked for a Frozen party too. We don’t do a lot of friend parties, mostly just family, so that helps to keep the costs down. Wish I would have thought of that juice drink though. That sounds good!

I made an Elsa cake for my 13 year old daughter this year! I think Frozen draws in all ages and stages :)
I would definitely recommend the drink it really was good!

Fabulous ideas! I had to chuckle because we went to a birthday party in October and she had Blue punch and pin the nose on Olaf too. Cute!
Thanks for sharing!

It would even be fun to do these as non related birthday activities. The ice crystal painting is a most requested item around here now!

You came up with some really creative and fun ideas! How convenient that you found things that you could use for other occasions and not just for this event. :)

Thanks Brittnei! My kids have been asking when we are going to have the Frozen punch again. I guess that recipe will be staying with our family for a while now!

Great Job Mom…
As parents we need to find ways to do what we can and make the best out of what we have making our little ones happy.

Thanks for the kind words Jay! Sometimes we want to give our children the world don’t we, but I was amazed at how happy this party made her as simple as it was. I guess it was all of the love packed into it!

Not only do me girls LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Frozen but would absolutely make me throw a Frozen party just because they read this. lol Way to go on the costs too. That is always the tricky part when it comes to birthday parties for our kiddos…we want them to be special and memorable without breaking the bank. I did that for too many years!
I have a Sweet 16 party coming up next year and have no idea as to how to pull it off to be the glamourous night she deserves and wants. After all every Princess deserves her ball! Any suggestions from your brilliantly creative mind would be appreciated. I will now come to the Queen of Birthday Parties the next time I’m in a jam.
Wishing you a beautiful day.

Great job, Jen (and Jen’s guy). I’m boycotting FROZEN right now (it will only last 5 minutes, but my boycotting is more of a mental break).

Enjoy your 5 minutes! I bet your Elise asks for it at about minute 6 :)
