Charlotte’s Cat Party

I told Charlotte that she could invite 6 friends to a birthday party.  She helped make the invitations by decorating them with crayon and cat stickers.12.11.11  Charlotte's Birthday invitations When her guests arrived, we put homemade cat headbands on and painted their faces.  We had cat themed coloring pages/worksheets for everyone to do while we waited for all her guests to arrive.12.17.11 Charlotte's cat party (9)We also played Jingle Cats music which is basically Christmas songs that have cats meowing instead of singing.   Lunch was cat shaped peperoni pizza:12.17.11 Charlotte's cat party (11)The girls picked out cat names and made cat collars (most of the girls decided their cat name should be “Hello Kitty”): 12.17.11 Charlotte's cat party (15)Activities included “mouse-mouse-cat” (duck-duck-goose) :12.17.11 Charlotte's cat party (18) pin the tail on the cat:12.17.11 Charlotte's cat party (29)12.17.11 Charlotte's cat party (30) and musical cat beds (like musical chairs):12.17.11 Charlotte's cat party (16)They also played a game where they had to find 18 toy cats that had been hidden, they had a meowing contest (they had to give their best meows in different moods = angry, sad, excited, sleepy), they played a game called poor kitty, and they played hot cat (hot potato with a stuffed cat toy).
