When it came time to prepare for my daughters 2nd birthday I was really excited, there were so many ideas that I wanted to try out, and I absolutely love all things party, so I was in heaven. 

But what theme and colours to choose, what food to prepare and how do you keep 2 year olds happy and busy? I decided on a garden themed party.

I knew I wanted to prepare a candy buffet, so I used artificial turf as my table cloth, to bring the outdoors in, and butterfly and dragonfly accents. There were cute little garden pails to pop the sweet treats in, and candy galore.

I made lovely little cupcake pops, and cake pops with chocolate butterflies which were a big hit, and am really excited with how my Martha Stewart Ruffle Cake attempt came out.

 The little kids had so much fun with their butterfly wings, and I kept them busy with pink and blue coloured play-doh with butterfly cut-outs, and garden themed pictures of butterflies, bees and rainbows I found online at http://www.coloringcastle.com to colour-in.

Lolly bags were our Paper eskimo floss stripe bags with a custom Thank you tag completing the look.
