Seems like you all had a lovely time. Love the T-shirt too. What an amazing day and those farmyard themed outdoor games looked like great fun. Especially the cow with udders, hahaa! Thank you everyone for your comments. Adam had a wonderful birthday and certainly one for us to remember! These are such cute ideas!
I especially love milking the cow — we have that same stool, so you have given me ideas! Thanks for co-hosting the Backyard Barbecue Blog Hop! I love the udder game! What a brilliant idea for a party. I can imagine this would be brilliant with lots of cows and as a competition — who can milk the cow the quickest. Your email address will not be published.

Cow Milking The day before the party I realised our Ikea stool could easily be turned into a cow. Stevie had a go… … although Uncle Ben had great fun in getting Stevie covered in soya. We transferred the cow to the chair for Stevie to make it easier. Previous Post: « Brilliance in Blogging Awards. Next Post: Happy Birthday to me!

Thank you. Number and line up 5 small baskets or crates; have children stand 3 feet in front of the first crate and toss seeds into the crates in sequence. Small prizes can be given for each of the crates they get their seeds in.

Popcorn would also work Have smaller, clear containers at the opposite end. Kids fill up a cup with seed and race to dump it in the empty container. They sprint back to the start and hand-off the cup to the teammates.
