Yesterday my family hosted a party for the new Madagascar 3 movie using the materials provided through Crowdtap. We were supposed to have done the party about a week before but we had to postpone so that more of the kids could come to the party since no one was going to make it to the first date that was set. A friend of mine also uses Crowdtap and was accepted to host the Madagascar 3 party as well so we got together and done the party together so that more kids would be able to come to the party. We had a blast. Kids started coming at about 3 pm. As they came we just let them play games until all the kids showed up. I had decided not to decorate for the party so that they kids could decorate for it themselves. They loved this idea. I printed off the pages of the kit we were provided and the kids cut out the characters and colored them and they did the dot to dot color pages and cut out their masks. Then when they were all done, they used their activities to decorate around the room. They liked that they got to display their works of art to decorate for the party. They showed each other what they had done. We watched the trailer to the new movie and then all the kids talked about the new movie. A few of the kids had already seen the movies so they talked about the new movie for those that have not seen it yet. They told the kids their favorite parts and even acted out a few of those parts. The kids were really excited about hopefully getting to see the movie themselves soon. Throughout the party all the kids were singing "Afro, circus, afro, circus, polka dot, polka dot, afro". It was so much fun watching the kids enjoying themselves. For dinner my husband grilled for the kids. We had chicken and hotdogs. I also made macaroni and cheese and baked beans. Once the kids were finished eating dinner, they had some Zebra stripe brownies and Polka dot afro cupcakes. The brownies were fudge brownies swirled with cheesecake which looked black and white and striped like Zebra stripes. The cupcakes I improvised since the recipe they gave us so many people complained was dry so I didnt try it. I made some Fundamiddles cupcakes but in the cupcake mix I added colorful sprinkles. then made up the cupcakes and baked it. They came out with their muffin tops and the colors all together making them look like they were polka dotted afros. It was too cute and these were the kids favorite. Finally some of the kids got to stay for the sleepover and they watched the second Madagascar movie when they laid down for bed. It turned out to be a great party and I got several messages from the parents afterward about how much fun their kids had and how they talked about it for quite some time after going home.
