Make this easy, no-bake treat by Kelly from Smart Schoolhouse in advance of the party to save time on the day of. Simply pop bags of microwave popcorn (or your favorite stovetop recipe) and place in snack-sized baggies. Tape down the corners, then wrap the bag in green tissue paper, then cut and tie the ends with raffia.

Tamsyn from Project Nursery threw a second birthday farm party for her son, complete with a farm-themed grazing table. Recreate the fence by painting large craft stickswhite and gluing them together. Accent the table with milk bottles and wooden crates for a vintage touch.
Serve up these super-cute, salty-sweet treats by Beth from Hungry Happenings. You'll need pretzel sticks, white chocolate melts, mini marshmallows and a lamb candy decorating kit (available where baking supplies are sold) or fondant to create your own lamb faces.

Michelle from Michelle's Party Plan-It set up this realistic red barn-themed snack table. She DIY'd the barn backdrop, but you can purchase a Winter Red Barn Backdrop or Barn Sliding Door Room Banner Backdrop. She adorned the front of the table with a Red and White Tassel and smiling Farm Animal Paper Lanterns. She dressed up Mini Red Popcorn Boxes with Farm Animal Stickers and let Farm Party Favor Boxes double as decorations. Homemade cupcakes were adorned with DIY cupcake toppers (get the tutorial), and Toy Filled Apples were home to hard candy. She also created her own adorable pigs in a barrel -- learn how to make your own.

Amanda from Life on the Bay Bush put a farm-party twist on deviled eggs by cutting them horizontally, stuffing and putting the tops back on to look like hatching chicks. She placed the cooked eggs back in their original cartons and sat them on a tiered serving set -- we love this buffalo plaid one.

Who says farm birthday parties are just for boys? Kara's Party Ideas featured this more feminine take on the farm party theme. The cake table featured colorful balloons, a red gingham tablecloth, bright tassel garland and "E-I-E-I-O" spelled out with Mylar balloon letters. Guests snacked on farm animal-shaped treats and drank from pink cups with pig noses drawn on the bottom with black permanent marker.

This activity-packed farm get-together by Shauna from Ella & Annie will keep active kids entertained from start to finish. She set up a snack table with a red plastic tablecloth, farm animal figurines and farm-themed tableware, including crowd favorite cow print straws and milk bottles for drinking -- you guessed it -- milk. Each child received an On the Farm coloring book to color. A DIY horse on a stick let kids burn off energy as they galloped around.

Tie burlap ribbon around a Mason jar and then finish with baker's twine in your party's color scheme. Use jars to hold utensils such as cow-print straws and tableware.

Catch My Party featured this birthday party based on Toy Story. Thanks to the movie's character Jessie, there was plenty of cow pattern involved. To create this snack, stick marshmallows on lollipop sticks, then dip the tops in chocolate and roll in crushed nuts or candy. Stick them in a small hay bale for an on-theme presentation.

Abbey from Aesthetic Outburst crafted this carrot garland that can easily be repurposed as Easter decor. She used scissors to cut green and orange strips of construction paper and stapled them together, then hung them on string in a doorframe.
