The Little Mermaid Bubble Birthday Party - {i love} my disorganized life

When asked if she liked The Little Mermaid, my granddaughter, Olivia, let out a screeching giggle. Apparently, the answer was yes. She and her little sister, Emma, both love all of the Disney Princesses, but The Little Mermaid is a favorite right now.

Just thirteen months apart, Olivia in August and Emma in September, it made sense to celebrate their birthdays together this year. And, since they both love Ariel, having The Little Mermaid Bubble Birthday Party was a prefect idea.

We had:

1. Under the Sea Cupcakes

2. Chocolate Shell Candies

3. Little Fishy Snack Mix

4. Bubble Brownie Pops

For the Under the Sea Cupcakes I used blue frosting for the ‘water’, graham cracker crumbs for the ‘beach’, and gummy fish for, well, the fish!

Chocolate shell candies are super easy to make. Simply swirl chocolate and white chocolate together, {be careful not to completely mix}, pour into candy molds and refrigerate until firm.

I made the fishy snack mix with chocolate chips, mini marshmallows and some vanilla cupcake flavored graham cracker fish I found.

The Brownie ‘Bubble’ Pops were a little more time intensive. After making the brownies and letting them cool, I crumbled them up and rolled them into balls. Next, I chilled them for about an hour, added a stick and dipped them in white and blue melting chocolate.

I took half the vanilla pops and sprayed them with silver shimmering food color spray. I love how they matched the balloon ‘bubbles’!

My daughter Corrie helped me pull the party together. We customized our water bottles with Ariel, Flounder and Sebastian. We made seaweed centerpieces and even used balloons to make ‘bubbles’.

It’s amazing what some colored marbles and pipe cleaners can do! I was pleased at how much they look like seaweed.

The Little Mermaid Bubble Birthday Party wouldn’t have been complete without actual bubbles! The Ariel Bath Wand is safe for tub use, but can also be used outdoors with bubble solution {we made our own using a little dish soap and water}. The girls absolutely loved playing with their Ariel Bath Wand. In fact, I’ve had to go back and buy a second wand so they could each have their own. I wouldn’t want them fighting over it!

Caught in the act! When no one was watching. Emma lifted a cupcake from the table and hid in the hall to enjoy it. I’m just glad I wasn’t the one who had to clean her up!

I remember when The Little Mermaid first came out, and can’t wait to watch it with the girls. I know they are going to love it as much as I did when I first saw it!
