  • Giant Cupcake To create this fun decoration use a lamp shade, one that resembles a cupcake line and use a hot glue gun and wooden kabob skewers to attach a foam pool noodle to the inside and twist it up to resemble swirling icing. Top with a small red balloon for a cherry!
  • Cotton Candy Clouds Purchase a couple yards of batting at your local fabric store and spray paint it pink to create cotton candy. Drape it from the ceiling to create the cloud effect. For even more fun have jellybean rain drops falling from it.
  • Jellybean Raindrops Unbend a white paperclip half way, stick end through jellybean and tie clear fishing line through the other end of the paperclip. Connect the other end of the string on the ceiling and make it appear as if it is falling from the cotton candy clouds. Make a couple dozen and have them hanging at different lengths.

Have everyone sit in a circle and place a big bowl of M&M’s in the middle. The first person, WITHOUT LOOKING, reaches in and pulls out two M&M’s. If the colors match they can eat them, if they do not they have to put them in their mouth and hold them their until their turn comes around again. They will have another chance to choose matching candies. Again if they do not match then they must be stuffed in the mouth, but not eaten.
