Hosted a fun birthday party for Aditi on her Star Third Birthday. She likes butterflies and The Hungry Caterpillar. So that was the theme. Some pics here.
THE FOOD: Fried mini idlis, pasta, fruit salad, animal bikkies, donut twisties, ragi worm like murukku, laddoo snail, oreo caterpillar, etc
WITH HER FAVOURITE GUESTS: her cousin and her buddy ( though she meets him once a qtr)
THE DECOR: all the toys in the house, jigsaw and tent included, that went with the theme- caterpillars, lady bugs, butterflies . She refused to wear the party outfit ( above left) and wore an old frock instead.
The goody bag was a frog print- again courtesy S's mom's NGO. We put in Butterfly clips and chains and such like for the girls, some older kids got books and the boys got wooden fridge magnets from Mother Earth.
Had a great Author Meet session with ThinkBox Library - open to kids and parents and a grandma too. Read an account here.
The book and I were featured today in The Hindu Metro Plus. I would have liked to add on my thanks to my Folks, my teacher JP miss, Nivi at Tulika and the ST gang. Doing so here.
