When it comes to hosting a themed playdate, one of our favorite things to do is have the kids dress up to be a part of the theme as well! So, when we planned our recent Little Chef Pizza Party Playdate, there was no doubt we were going to have our guests dress as adorable chefs in training! Find out which supplies we used and how we made these fun costumes!

Step
1

Begin by taking one of the Shimmering Fabric Paint Pens and write a guest’s name on the front of the DIY White Child’s Apron. We wrote the name in red to match our playdate color scheme. Allow the paint to completely dry.

Once the paint is dry, take a few of the topping stickers from the Pizza Sticker Scenes and place them around the name on the Apron. This adds a fun detail and takes no time at all!

Now it’s onto the Chef Hat! Grab your Bright Alphabet Stickers and find the letters to spell out “Little Chef”. We alternated red and green letters and just loved the way it looked!

Lastly, add a drop of Hot Glue to two Pizza Erasers and glue them on either side of your Little Chef Stickers. All that’s left to do is turn your playdate guests into little chefs!
