Party Ideas

I thought this might be helpful for those planning a kids birthday party so I am getting off the wedding favors and moving to party favors today. Just a little outline about what I did for my daughter's 10th birthday party. These are some party ideas you might be able to use for your own kids birthday party. Here's how my party idea went over:

When her guests first arrived they all had fun dancing for about a half hour while they were waiting to eat pizza. Once they were done with the pizza they did a craft. The craft was 3-D glow in the dark puzzle of butterflies for the girls and ships or dinosaurs for the boys. Since they had to build these it did take up a lot of time but they all enjoyed making their craft. When everyone was done with their craft we all had cake and ice-cream.

I also added a pinata, knowing these are great party ideas, and all the children took turns breaking it open. I filled the pinata with candy, mini yo-yo's, stickers (smiley face),bracelets (glow in the dark), mini stick on glow in the dark shapes, mini erasers and mini bubbles. As the pinata broke open they picked up the goodies inside and put them in their goody bags. I also kept some extra things to give out just in case someone didn't get much from the pinata.

When they were done with the pinata it was time for everyone to go home. As the kids left my daughter gave each guest a smiley face pencil. Every one of her guests left happy and they all said they loved their craft and all the goodies they had.
