For Big Boy's first birthday I did a "round" theme. Mostly balls, but also balloons and bubbles. This was really my first party planning adventure. I think it went great, but I didn't take any pictures! We had 2 parties, one with friends and another with family. We had round food: jello pinwheels (one of my mom's favorite kid's snack), crackers, meat and cheese (cut into circles), fruit (cut with a melon baller) and lots of cake! I used a round cake pan I bought at Michael's to make the smash cake. For one party I made a #1 pool ball (solid yellow) and for the other I made a beach ball. We had lots of balls for the kids to play with including a ball pit I made in a cheap plastic kiddie pool. We also had a pin the tail on the pig (he was a very round pig). The birthday boy had lots of fun and so did everyone else.
Jello Pinwheels: 2 small or 1 large box jello, 1 c warm water, 3 c mini or 24 large marshmallows. Oil a 9x13" pan. Stir warm water into jello in a large microwave safe bowl and microwave on high 2 min. Stir until dissolved. Add marshmallows and microwave on high another 1 1/2 mins. Stir until marshmallows are melted. Pour into pan and refrigerate 45 mins. Loosen edges with a spatula and roll length-wise. Slice into pinwheels and serve.
