I got this idea from my friends at BLUSH! They used tomato cans for vases at this gorgeous backyard wedding. I thought iconic Campbell's soup cans would be the perfect vessels to display flowers for our soup party. They make these tall "family" style cans in the supermarket. I simply cut the tulips to size and voila.... a simple, inexpensive and whimsical arrangement!
My children are little and don't have a lot of interest in football. Since we are having friends over for our "soup"er bowl party I thought it would be fun to put out some things in our pretend kitchen for the kids to make their own soup. I took out all of our wooden veggies, some cutting boards, soup pots, napkins with veggies on them, and aprons and chef hats. I also put out a book called "Growing Vegetable Soup" by Lois Ehlert. I love finding petite cutting boards, soup pots, and colanders. It makes kids feel like they are cooking with the real thing only it's their size.
Everyone knows that the Super Bowl is this weekend. For a fun twist, we are going to be hosting a "Soup"er bowl party. I am making three different soups and will put out mugs so that our guests can feel free to sample all of them. I was thinking it would be fun to make soups that reflect the different teams. For example, you could make a big pot of Gumbo in honor of the New Orleans Saints. I will post more of the details for the party as the week goes on. Stay tuned for a fun flower arrangement and ideas to keep the kids entertained during the game.
