I thought it would be fun to go with a beach ball and sand bucket theme! I went to my favorite place, the Dollar Tree! I got several beach balls and buckets! I also found these cute plates that I thought were kid friendly. My MIL has tons of cute table toppers so I used these since they kind of look like a picnic table cloth. I tied the beach balls from my light fixture. I don't think they liked being hung, b/c they slowly lost air. I thought they were still cute though!
For each child, I found a picture of them from a school event during the year. I attached the picture to a stick with tape and put into a little bucket (floral foam in the bottom of the bucket). I found the cute little pinwheels and the flip flop suckers. I added natural color shredded paper to look like sand. I put these at each place setting so they would know where to sit.
My kitchen table wasn't quite big enough for the whole class so I set up the rest in my dining room. The teachers went along with the "sand bucket and beach ball" theme by making their end of the year gift a personalized sand bucket. They filled them with certificates and other stuff from school (seen on the sconces).
For the entry way, I just taped down a beach ball on my foyer table. I made a bigger bucket w/ the class picture, bigger pinwheel, and the shovel that came w/ the bucket.
Another view of the table. You can see the rest of the class gifts on the mantel.
Food table...found a cute beach ball balloon and added other primary color balloons. Kids love balloons, right? Then I found these cute plastic buckets at the Dollar Tree. They had all different shapes/sizes that were perfect for this party!

We set up a few outdoor activities (bubbles, sidewalk chalk; bounce house; and all our outdoor toys). Looking back at these pictures makes me want to have the same party this year! Definitely makes me ready for summer!!
