Fruity party printables? It's child's play!

Three children, all married, seven grandchildren and a large extended family add up to a calendar filled with birthday celebrations. I am very glad that I have moved beyond the stage of planning and running children's birthday parties.

Birthday party fun

Yes, they're fun but wow.. they're exhausting! And, much as I love Pinterest, the overload of beautifully  presented party images are a lot to live up to.

As a grandma I have found that, although I don't organise the kids' birthday parties, I'm often asked if I could bring along a little something to add to the party table. And these days, a plate of fairy bread just doesn't cut it. (Again.. thanks, Pinterest!)

Feeling Fruity Printables

So... I was delighted when TinyMe created their Feeling Fruity party printables. The range includes fruity baskets, garland, cone wrappers, toppers and tags. Yes, they're wonderful for anyone organising a fruit-themed party. The range also includes some lovely customisable invitations.

They're also wonderful for anyone, like me, needing a special party-style plate of food. The printables make it so easy! It's even easy enough for the kids to create.

How-to:

You'll find all the freebies here. Print the fruit baskets. Cut out and assemble. (If you're uncertain how to make the baskets, you'll find step-by-step instructions here.)  Arrange the baskets on a tray. Fill with fresh berries and fruit, or fruit candies, fruit licorice and other sweet confectionery.

For added impact, I cut out some of the smaller fruit images and scattered them around the tray.  I also popped some fruit sherbet sticks into some jars and added a fruity tag and a topper.

And the result???.... you'll be pleased to know that the tray of fruity edibles disappeared very quickly.
