Invitations
Trace a picture of the birthday girl in Illustrator, add some cake and balloons and print out black and white images on paper (coloring page). Make custom wrappers for the crayons with the time, date, and place of the party printed on them. They will look like real Crayola Crayons! Fold the coloring page and place the crayons inside, and that is the invitation. Write on the coloring page to "bring your colored invitation to the party to hang up in the gallery".

Table Top
Really cool place-mats can be found on Fred & Friends website that look like an art frame. What better way to entertain two year olds than coloring. Place crayons in little paint buckets on each table along with stickers. Make custom labeled mason jars with colored pencils, candy dots, jellybeans, and twizzlers and some multi-colored daisies. Kids will love this!

Rainbow Food
Find multi-colored plastic plates and bowl at Ikea. At $1.99 per pack (of 6), it just makes sense. Each kid can take home a plate and bowl and you don't have paper plate waste. Go with the color theme and place fruits and veggies in each bowl according to color (blueberries in the blue bowl, grapes in the purple bowl, kiwi in the green bowl, yellow peppers in the yellow bowl, cherry tomatoes in the red bowl and carrots in the orange bowl). Get some nuggets from Chic-Fil-A in hopes that the kids will get messy and use the dips as "paint" on their place-mats. Gatorades come in multi colors, so simply make labels to match the table decor. Make custom labeles for the water. Line the Gatorade up according to color in rows to give it a rainbow look. Display cubed orange and white cheese on an artist palette. Labele all of the foods with paint swatches from Home Depot. It's a good and FREE way to label anything, and it goes with the theme! Display utensils in empty paint cans. Another good idea is multi-colored goldfish.

Cake
Make a home made multi-layer layered cake using a regular cake mix and some neon gel food coloring. Bake each color/layer separately and then ice with white icing. The surprise is when you cut into it an see all of the layers that look like a rainbow. Place crayons on the cake in the shape of the child's age.
