We created a life-sized boat out of cardboard for the presents to sit as well as for any children who wanted a fun photo op. We also made shields out of cardboard cake platters, paint and gold duct tape and viking helmets out of cardboard, duct tape and foam board. The biggest hit were the fun dragon cut outs that our fantastic Assistant Manager, Beth, made out of foam board.
Saturday we finally got to see all of the dragon craziness that we've created over the past month put together! It was so much fun! Here's what we did! We created a life-sized boat out of cardboard for the presents to sit as well as for any children who wanted a fun photo op. We also made shields out of cardboard cake platters, paint and gold duct tape and viking helmets out of cardboard, duct tape and foam board. The biggest hit were the fun dragon cut outs that our fantastic Assistant Manager, Beth, made out of foam board. Party guests not only got the super awesome shields and helmets, but also received goody bags filled with fake mustaches (they are supposed to be hairy vikings you know), stickers, candy, swords and battle-axes and plastic toy dragons. Their amazing craft activity was to decorate their own miniature viking boat. Each cardboard boat was handmade by our staff and they looked almost identical to our life sized boat. For food our party guests got to munch on pizza as well as a delicious tower of fruit, handmade pretzel and fondant battle axes and custom sheep marshmallows (in the movie the dragons ate sheep). And don't forget the yummy cupcakes from a local bakery and the custom tiered cake that the party mom brought. We were really excited about how our decorations turned out. We made a banner and viking boat facade for the food table as well as custom pennants for the walls and table cloths draped on the ceiling.
