It's been a hard year for us financially, but of course children don't know that and nor should they. My daughter had been asking for a Lion Guard themed birthday party since before Christmas, so my challenge was to give her what she wanted for as little money as possible. I ended up spending less than $125 total including gifts and food! She also wanted to play "lots of games" so those turned into decor themselves as well, such as Pin the Tail on the Zebra, the piñata, and Ono's Keenest of Sight Scavenger Hunt. We saved toilet paper rolls to turn into binoculars, used our brown wrapping paper that we've had for years and years to paint the zebra to pin the tail on, and reused paper fans for decor! When planning the menu, I kept it to only foods we normally eat so we'd be sure to use any leftovers. The only thing I felt I couldn't make or do myself was the piñata, so I ordered that and filled it with Black Forest Gummy Bears, TruEarth Lolipops, and themed temporary tattoos!
