Elmer Face Painting PartyElmer Face Painting PartyCombining super creative fun with amazing friends is the best combo ever.  Holy cow! This Elmer face painting party was so much fun!  This is the last installment (for now) of the Preschool Book Club Series I’ve had the pleasure of being a part of.  This week we are featuring the beautifully fun children’s picture book by David Mckee, Elmer.  It’s the story of an elephant who has a special way of making everyone around him feel really good.  We had a play date this morning with our dear friends so why not make it a super duper Elmer Face Painting Party!

Elmer Face Painting PartyElmer Face Painting PartyWe started our play date by reading Elmer to all the girls.  They loved the story and were quick to decide they wanted to decorate themselves just like Elmer.  I had bought this face painting set in preparation.  The moms were in charge of face painting for all of ten minutes I’d say, at least with my girls.  Gigi and D were quick to take over the painting,  leading to a slightly different outcome than I would have selected.  Thankfully we had one little sweetie who was patient enough to have her whole face painted Elmer style.  As we painted, Elmer kisses began to spread all over.  The cuteness was pretty much off the charts.

The girls took turns holding their beloved Elmer book while riding bikes, jumping off our play house and riding Rody, a household fav.  This was an awesome extension to the book.  Yay for face painting and yay for Elmer!
