Noah's Ark Birthday Party for twins




The goodie boxes were decorated with the theme of the story.




I made 50 animal masks (25 animals and two each).  I used colored felt to create the masks.  







The tables were decorated with photos of the twins and matching the tables that coordinated with the colors of the rainbow. 



 The rainbow was a big part of the theme.


Two piñatas were homemade for the party (rainbow and ark).




Large ark was made and animals were purchased on Amazon to create different photo opportunities for the guest.  








All the kids had a great time with the piñatas.

Noah's Ark Piñatas (Homemade) Ark and Rainbow


Started by making the shapes out of cardboard.














Then I covered them in newspaper and a flour and water paste.  Slowly adding flour to warm water (1/2 cup of flour to one cup of water).  Then gradually adding boiled water to the mixture until it thickens to the consistency desired.














After the newspaper dried, I painted a layer of Gesso and allowed that to dry before I started painting the shapes with acrylic paint (use the paint you prefer).




















After the paint dried, I began adding the crepe streamer.  I cut the streamer to give the shape the desired look.
