Ruby loves farm animals, especially pigs and the color PINK! We combined both of loves into a darling farm party for her for her 4th birthday. It was such an EASY party to plan and super cute too!
Food
For lunch Ruby chose chicken nuggets, cheese, fruit, and juice boxes. We skipped the cake and served pink pig ice cream cones instead! Scroll to the end of the post for a quick tutorial on how to make them!
Farm Party Decor
The decor mostly consisted of items we already had. We used our Little People farm as well as all her farm-themed puppets and toys to decorate the table and for the kids to play with.
I ordered the cow tablecloth and barn treat boxes from Oriental Trading. The boxes doubled as party decor and party favors.
Party Favors
We filled the treat boxes with candy eggs, rubber ducks, jelly beans, and leftover bubblegum from the pig ice cream cones.
Party Activities
We only did a couple of activities and gave the kids plenty of time to play.
These farm sticker pages were a fun activity to do while we waited for everyone to arrive.
They put on a puppet show using our doorway theater and puppets.
After lunch, we had pig ice cream cones! I was inspired by Hungry Happenings, and they were so easy to make.
I recommend making these cones the same day, not too much in advance, as ice cream cones soften in the freezer. I made mine 3 hours before the party, but they would have been fine up to 6 hours or so.
Pig Ice Cream Cones
Ingredients
- 6 ice cream cones
- strawberry ice cream or any pink ice cream
- 9 Dubble Bubble bubble gum
- 12 candy eyes
Instructions
- To create a nose, cut a piece of bubble gum in half. Make 2 indentations on one of the slices for nostrils. Tip: Use the end of a lollipop stick or fondant tool to make the indentations.
- To create the ears, cut a piece of bubble gum in half. Tip: You can use a lollipop stick or a small tool to give the ears a bit more shape in the center so that they "fold".
- Scoop large scoops of pink eye cream and press onto ice cream cones.
- Press the nose and ears onto the scoop of ice cream. Press candy eyes into the ice cream above the nose.
- Immediately place the ice cream cone into the freezer. Repeat for the remaining ice cream cones.

These pig cones were so fun to customize and were such a hit at our party that I’m glad I didn’t make the effort to serve cake because the kids wouldn’t have cared! Enjoy!
