It's birthday week for my three girls.

It took them awhile to agree on a theme.

Paris + kitty cats + French pastries.

Kitty cat cafe ?

Ooh la la.
And you know me - I love any chance to make art,
especially for a party.

After researching all manner of things French,

I sat down to sketch in the book fort.

(Avec iced coffee in a jar, no less.)

Oh, happy day, mes petits.

I think I'll make some hanging art

and some tiny, cupcake art.

I should probably figure out games.

I'm no good at games.

Anyone?

Hide the baguettes?

Name the French cities?

Guess the French words?

Some French books we love:

This is Paris - Miroslav Sasek

Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans

The Story of Babar - Jean de Brunhoff

The Fantastic Drawings of Danielle by Barbara McClintock

Madame Martine by Sarah S. Brannen

The Story of Diva and Flea by Mo Willems & Toni DiTerlizzi

Rooftoppers by Katherine Rundell, ill. by Terry Fan
