Disney Planes was the theme for my son's 5th Birthday party. The activities started as they fronted up to the gate which was transformed into a checking in area. From the entry where the passports were checked off, through a magnetic detector, the children then got to fly down a runway in El Chupacabra.

There was even a Dusty for those that wanted to fly the high sky and not sit and do the activities...

The activity tables were full of activities sourced off
SKGaleana, the kids coloured, dot-to-dotted their way as they awaited the arrival of all of their friends... These activities were great so a big thank you to SKGaleana.

These fold up camping tables are great...I love watching children working together.

Once everyone arrived, the children were tasked to build a glider and then fly them...These are available from
Birthday in a Box.

The children lined up in three lines and threw their gliders towards the target hoops...look at the concentration and assessment of some of the children...

All of the children had their photo taken against the licencing board once they had enough flying...

...but in order to be a pilot and get a photo, they had to dress up!...The shirt was purchased from Trade Secret and the Pilots outfit was purchased from The Party Hut Toowoomba. The sunnies were purchased from a local sunglasses place...they took some hunting down!

And this is what the little guys looked like - this was sooo cool...and ensured we got at least one great shot of every child that attended.

From licencing to a test of skill, balancing skill that is...the dusty plane was printed from
30minute crafts and although a flash light cover, we adapted it a little and added a propeller from
North Phoenix Mums blog. Thanks Rach.

The children were each given a boiled egg they had to draw on to create their own pilot...

The eggs/pilots were placed on the spoons/planes...

The children lined up...and walked toward me to establish a winner - this however was too easy so we went to a run - Oh My Gosh you should have heard the squealing and laughter then! This was accomplished in record time LOL.

Skills were then tested with blind accuracy :-) as the children tried to place a propeller on Dusty's nose cone - there was a lot of cheating going on...heads were tilted, eyes were open, glasses were moved on the nose, was so funny... This great idea came from Pinterest!

This is the picture of Dusty I printed and had laminated. I printed and cut out the propellers and dressed glasses using the printable from
North Phoenix Mums blog. Thanks Rach, I stuck the glasses eyes on the glasses and cut out the propellers and put a dimensional/foam pop dot on the back. I just had to remove the backing for each child when it was their turn......

Embracing Birthday celebrations,
