Food
Doll cake
- I used this cake recipe and this recipe for the icing. I purchased the Wilton Doll Cake Pan which is super easy to use. And then I ordered a Wilton Decorating Kit – there are several to choose from.
Mermaid Taffy
- These Mermaid candies would be perfect for handing out to your guests.
Activities
Walk the Plank
- Set up a board with a couple bricks and have each kid walk across- add some pretend sharks around the plank for some extra fun.
Sand Art
- I was hesitant to do this with 4-5 year olds but it was a huge success! You just need to make sure you are prepared and the kids will definitely need help. You’ll need a sand art activity kit. And then I got the little bowls and spoons from the dollar store.
