Welcome to the farm! Yesterday I joined Lisa Frank in hosting this last-days-of-summer Farm Party. I have so many gorgeous photos of the party that I am going to share it in three parts. First you are seeing the games. Tomorrow I will post the adorable food table with all of the farm inspired details. I will then show you dining table and craft table to inspire your next birthday party. I will also sprinkle in tutorials for some of the projects as well as sources.
As you can clearly see from these photos, the kids had a blast! They were loving every game and when given their feed sack goodie bag upon arrival, all voluntarily wore their orange bandanas. The games included a hay ride in the wagon, a pin the tail on the donkey game with magnet tails, a horseshoe tossing game with bean bag horseshoes made from felt, felt stick ponies to ride and a hay bale horse with a handmade stick horse made by my sister from upcycled wool. Here are my favorite moments from this section of the party. I will share sources at the end of the post.
BURLAP FEED SACKS: This is a DIY project that I will share in tutorial form this week. FARM ANIMAL COOKIE WRAP & GAME SIGNS: These will be in my printable party kit. ORANGE BANDANAS: Source here. WOOD RAIL WAGON: Source here. FABRIC BUNTING: Made by Lisa Frank. PIN THE TAIL GAME: Will be in the printable party kit. FELT HORSESHOES & FELT STICK HORSES: Felt from Benzie Design on Etsy and I will give you the pattern and tutorial in an upcoming post. WOOL STICK HORSE: Made by my sister, and she will be offering this on Etsy soon.
See y’all tomorrow for more farm party photos and crafty tutorials! ~ Lia

Hi,
Are you willing to make the feeding sacks again? If so, how much would you charge?
So sorry but I don’t sell this item.

Where can I find the PIN THE TAIL GAME? It’s really cute!
Thank you! It is on my Etsy shop at https://www.etsy.com/shop/LiaGriffith
Hi! Just want to know if your sister is already selling the horses at Etsy. Thanks!
She was going to but hasn’t had time yet. For now they are a DIY. Thanks!
Can you use a 3/8″dowel?? Thanks- Debbie
Sure. What ever feels strong enough for a child.
What company did you get the BURLAP SACKS from?
Those are something I made. I stamped them with FEED too. I should have done a tutorial, right?
How do I get the pattern for the horses??
There is a post for them. . . check the right column of my blog and you will see a link, or search “horse”
Planning a John Deere/Farm Party for our son this spring and I cannot tell you how much I love this farm party…especially since his favorite color is orange. 🙂 Love your horseshoe game and all of your decorations are adorable. Thanks so much for all of your wonderful inspiration. Such a wonderful party.
I LOVED creating and photographing this party!! I didn’t end up posting the horse shoe pattern, but if you need it, let me know.
If you are willing to share your horse shoe pattern I would absolutely love to use your design…it is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much for your inspiration.
Strange thing. . . I hunted and hunted and can not find it. I will keep looking though.
Do you have the pattern for the horse shoes posted somewhere? Thank you!
I did not get to that tutorial. Sorry.

What a fantastic party. All the kids were just adorable. So much excitement comes out of those pictures. Fantastic party well done.

The kids look so adorable with their orange scarves on and with their horses put on the rail. It’s all so cute, wish I had young grandkids again. It’s no fun anymore. The things you all made are absolutely inspired, the kids must have been so thrilled with everything. Wouldn’t it be nice if older kids and adults could have that innocence and fun in them? I wish I still did. Talk about a super special party, you gals sure did it. The talents you have are so wonderful. Happy Days
Thanks! I remember myself saying as I was shooting “I want my next birthday party to be like this”. The best part of the day was seeing how engaged and excited the kids were. Definitly a success!
Oh Lia it’s beautiful!! And those kids are precious 🙂
Thanks Veronica! So much fun and… I am exhausted. 😉
It almost looks even better in your photos than in person! Every detail is just adorable and I had so much fun planning it with you. 🙂 Can’t wait to see more!
