The Jungle Aligator

The alligator was a great addition to our Hide and Seek Jungle theme.    What a fun birthday party prop.  It was interactive, decorative and functional...  Our birthday cake pictures came out so cute.   All materials were purchased at our dollar store.  I used animal and regular balloons to create his eyes.

The Alligator frame is our dining bench.  A perfect transition piece from hide and seek to eating birthday cake on an alligator.

I used green plastic table cloth to cover the base, green party napkins to give texture to his legs and paper Pom Pom's  to give a scale look.  His materials cost $5 to make

His mouth was interactive.  Kids had fun putting their heads in there.  They also fed him cake.  I used 2 foam boards.  I cut a strip from each foam board to make his teeth.  The red balloons held his mouth open.
