Color Run Birthday Party Theme Idea

For Taylor's 8th birthday, we needed a theme to entertain a group of busy 2nd graders.  We decided to host a color run!  We setup an obstacle course in the backyard with a beam to cross, ropes to crawl under, and hoops to run through. At each station, an adult showered them with colored powder.   The color run was a huge hit and so much for everyone (adults included).

After the color run obstacle course, we headed inside for some colorful treats.

I frosted cupcakes with white frosting and the kids colored their own cupcake.  The colored sugar was made with sugar and icing color, mixed in a bag and air dried.

The kids enjoyed adding color to their water bottles with favored juice packets. We used Hawaiian Punch packets.

The cake was covered in fondant and splashed with the color powder (cornstarch and food color).

We sent each of the kids home with bubble bath and loofahs to get cleaned up.  I purchased bubble bath in bulk and poured it into 8oz. water bottles, wrapped with this label.
