I
was apprehensive about them pulling the backdrop down. They get excited seeing new things and they
are (almost) 2 year olds – so I had less hope for the paper chain backdrop
staying intact for the birthday countdown photoshoot today but to my surprise my kids didn't bother
or even touch the paper chain garland!
For
their backdrop I used regular A4 sheets of paper in pastel colors. I did not have any theme or color combination
in mind -- I just had 5 sheets in each of those 3 colors and I had to add a few
white ones to increase the width of the garland.
I realized it later that I should have made the paper chain a little longer, placed
the paper chain backdrop a little higher, and should have made it wider. Anyway!
For
the text: It's their cookie sheet (that's used for their magnetic toys) balanced against a box (because I couldn't find
anything else!) and text was added later.
And here's my favorite photo from the photoshoot today:
Phew.
8 down, 7 days to go!
