An Elephant Party for Emerson

My sister Claire is planning an elephant-themed birthday party for her daughter Emerson, who will turn one in late July. Since they live in Jordan, it is difficult for them to find all the products we take for granted are easy to find in the U.S. I would imagine that party decor stores are not common there! So today when I was out shopping I was so excited to find a few things that I can mail to Claire for Emerson's party. Check this out!!

I bought 10 brown paper mache elephants from Michaels. They would be so cute to tie to a party favor bag/box or even to use as decor.

I found this really cute "birthday party in a box" kit at Marshall's on clearance for $3.50! At first, I thought it wouldn't work since it appeared to be "Hungry Caterpillar" themed. However, much to my delight, there is a Pin the Tail on the Elephant game included along with a colorful Happy Birthday Banner, 20 Happy Birthday crowns (kid sized), 20 colorful gift bags, and 5 sheets of animal stickers (including some elephants!). There is also a book with party game ideas included. I'm sure Claire won't use everything in the box, but for the price, I thought it was a steal even if they just use the Pin the Tail on the Elephant game.
