1. Jars or glass vessels of any kind. Mason jars seem like a very cute and affordable option for a group. But these pretty jars from West Elm would be great too, if you plan to make your child’s creation a fixture in the house.
2. Reindeer moss
3. Spanish moss
4. Air plants
5. Potting soil
6. Charcoal or rocks for drainage (if you plan to really keep it long term)
7. Felted acorns, gnomes, mini mushrooms, or anything cute and decorative.

There are plenty of shops on Etsy that specialize in terrarium supplies too, if you don’t have a good resource nearby. Planting a terrarium is pretty straightforward, but if you’re new to it these instructions on BHG should get you going on the right track.

The only supplies you need are a little bag of Babybels, an X-acto knife, and a few black sesame seeds. But maybe buy a few extra cheeses so you have a chance to practice first.

1. With the tabs on the bottom, cut the shape of the hair. This is her “girl” hair, but be creative and try other shapes too. She cut the back just like the front – in case she messed one side up. Make sure you cut through the paper tab too, otherwise you’ll pull off the hair when you remove the wax over the face.

2. Pull the tabs up to loosen the red wax shell.

3. Carefully pull away the bottom half of the shell, and save that piece to make accessories.

4. Add eyes using sesame seeds.

Here’s a different version of hair that she used for her “boy” faces, but again you can get super creative!

And for boys, you can cut little mustaches or bow ties with the leftover wax. Awww.

If you have older kiddos, this might even be a fun project for them. Thanks Caroline!

Being that she only had a week to plan, Caroline wanted to keep the “theme” simple. They decided to make it just a colorful party, with all decor revolving around bright colors. Perfectly simple and cute, the way toddler birthdays should be!

Caroline made these adorable Babybel cheese people for table decor/favors. Such a cute idea, right?? She’s going to be sharing a lil’ DIY project with us later this week so you can make them too.

And Dorothy whipped up this pretty balloon wreath.

Homemade fruit lollipops using cookie cutters, fruit (obvs), and lollipop sticks…

Caroline made a quick photobooth backdrop using colored paper fans and balloons.

We’re betting this guy is Cameron’s specialest friend.

Adorable cake from The Scootabaker. It’s rainbow inside!

Cameron (and his rad sweater from H & M) clearly loves it.

They gave out Lollacups to each guest as a favor. Isn’t that the best? They really are exceptional sippy cups. And guess what? We’re giving a Lollacup gift set away at the end of this post!
