Puppy Party at Grandma's

My mom is seriously the cutest!  She loves throwing parties and having all of her loved ones up at her house, so she decided she wanted to start Grandma's Fun Club for all of her grandkids.  Every so often she wants to host a party for the kids to come and enjoy, where she'll have activities, games, food, etc.  Basically this is a win-win because I get to enjoy all the fun too and so does Olivia!  

For her first ever Grandma's Fun Club she decided to throw a Puppy Party!  
Keep reading to see all the cuteness!


She had each set of parents bring something for lunch and put some in the cutest little dog bowls you can find them HERE.  I made some Puppy Chow (Muddy Buddies), Mud Bath (Instant Pudding and Oreo Crumbs with a little dog on top, I used plastic dogs but THESE would've been adorable too!), and Dog Bones (Rice Krispie treats cut out with THESE cutters).



She also had chew sticks (licorice), more dog bones (Scooby graham crackers), Pupcorn (popcorn), Pawtato Chips (potato chips), Dogs in a Blanket (pigs in a blanket), and Puppy Kisses (Hershey Kisses).  



She had the cutest little plastic dogs sitting throughout the tablescape, find the plastic dogs HERE!



My mom always has a guessing game at each party.  This time she had everyone guess how many Tootsie Rolls were in the doggie jar (similar found HERE).  Everyone puts their guess in the cup and the winner gets the candy jar to take home!


Grandma's Pet Adoption center was the cutest centerpiece and the kids absolutely loved it! 



The kids were so cute looking at the little dogs.  



My mom is the master of using what she has and making things look incredible on a dime.  She reused the bone fence from Halloween decorations, had some fake grass (similar found HERE), used wrapping paper as the table runner, used things she already had and checked Dollar Tree and found things on sale to put together the party.  I found some really cute stuffed dogs HERE if interested, but she found quite a few at Dollar Tree!


These kids are completely smitten with their grandma and obviously you can see why!


On to activities and games.  She started by drawing names to see who could adopt a dog from the pet adoption center first.  She told the kids how they had to name it and take care of their new dog.  She then gave each kid their own crayon set that they'll keep at grandmas, and a My Dog coloring booklet.  They were supposed to color the dog like their dog they just adopted.



Olivia loves her new little puppy Oreo! 


Next came their collar.  The dogs needed a collar so my mom got the perfect little charms and pipe cleaners so we could put a collar on their dogs.






Next onto Doggie Bingo!  Since most of the dogs were adopted my mom put all the prizes in the center of the table.  She had a mix of toys, candy and books.






Next to Give a Dog a Bone Toss!  My mom enlarged a cute dog clipart, cut out the mouth and attached it to a poster board.  She also made bean bag dog bones for the kids to throw in the mouth.  You've got to remember to feed your puppies!



Next was to giving their dogs a dog house!  My mom and dad worked together to make this dog house for the kids.  The grandkids were able to paint it themselves and now the dog house is in the Play House in my parents backyard so they can always remember how much fun they had at Grandma's Puppy Party.





It was so bright when we came out and everyone was so excited to paint!



Livy had to sit this one out but she made sure to be the cutest cheerleader!






My mom even gave a little Adoption Certificate to make it really official! After all that she gave each kid their own dog finger puppets too (find them HERE)!



The kids had so much fun-and the adults did too!  
We are so lucky to have the sweetest and most creative mom and Grandma!
