Prepare the invitation card together with the child. The invitation card should put in an envelope that cover with insect and flower stickers to carry out the garden theme. This idea works best with a small number.
For the food, each lunch box should labeled with guest's name . Each box contain a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a small bag of chips, some cheese, grapes and a small packet of fruit juice.
First activity is Paste the Flower on the Stem ( a version of Pin the Tail on the Donkey ). The one closest to the stem will receive a prize.
Another fun activity is plant a small pot of herb with their name written on a small plastic pot, where mini garden tool set, soil and herb plants are perpared ahead. ( for younger children helping hand are needed).
For finale, perpare a "dirt cake" . A big bowl or a clean pot consisted of crushed Oreo cookies, whipped cream, and Gummi worm . Serve them with a paper bowl. A brown bag with some goodies: Gummi worms , jelly candies in shape of bugs, bug stickers and the mini garden tool and their planted herb.
