Combining 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!

We 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
After everyone felt satisfied with their painted faces and got in plenty of kisses, we partied. It was so much fun! 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!
