| First of all, let me mention to all of you how much I love Pinterest! It is the most awesome site ever. I cannot take credit for this idea....but I did try to make it match my classroom Monkey theme. The pieces finally fell into place and I am thrilled with these cute little birthday treats! |
 |
| While shopping at Sam's Club the other day I found these Giant Pixy Stix. I was thrilled because I knew I had seen an idea where I could use these so I quickly scanned my brain to remember what I needed to do with them and could not remember. So I bought them anyway and then came home and checked my Pinterest boards. Yep, there it was the Birthday Balloon treats! |
 |
| So I headed out to the hardware store and can you believe it. They had bright green fluorescent spray paint! The cashier looked at me in a very puzzled way as I bought this stuff but hey I had a plan! |
 |
| Found some cute ribbon and even cuter monkey at Hobby Lobby and then I quickly scoured my house for a container to spray paint. Yes, I know I could have found one at Hobby Lobby but buy this time my wallet was pretty much empty! So I went to work and sprayed my container, hot glued the ribbon and monkey on so it would match the Monkey theme! |
 |
| Next I made a balloon template, printed it on pretty card stock colors, and taped it to the candy sticks. Now my birthday treats are done and ready for the school year! |
