Fun Activities

Pin the Pigtail on Angelica

This silly activity requires a little preparation, but will bring giggles from all your guests! Draw a large picture of Angelica on butcher paper, posterboard, or a piece of cardboard. Sketch both of her pigtails on the drawing, color one of them in and leave the other one outlined. Then draw and cut out one pigtail, using construction paper, for each party guest. During the party, tack your picture of Angelica on the wall, and place a piece of tape on the back of each guest’s "pigtail." Gently blindfold the birthday child, and let them go first in honor of the big day. Spin the birthday child around three times and point them in the direction of the Angelica drawing. The object of the game is to place the pigtail on the picture, as close as possible to the appropriate spot. When each child has had a chance to play, award the guest who come closest with a party favor!

Spot Race
For this game, cut four spots out of colored construction paper. Divide your guests into two teams and form two lines side by side. Give the first child in each line two spots and instruct them to place one spot before them on the floor. When the game begins, the children must step on the first spot, place the second one on the floor in front of them, and step on it. While stepping on the second spot, the child must reach behind and grab the first spot, and place it in front again. During the game, they can only step on the spots as they travel around a chair and back to the next child in line. The first team to complete the course, wins!

Empty Tommy’s Bottle
Your guests will roll with laughter during this game! For each guest, you will need a small baby bottle. (Borrowing from friends and neighbors with young children is the easiest way to find them.) Wash all the bottles and fill them with equal amounts of juice before the party. On the big day, have a bottle drinking race! Line all the contestants in a row, and give each guest a bottle. When you say go, each child must empty the bottle as fast as possible. The first child to finish is the winner!

Play Pen Adventure
Create an imaginary playpen obstacle course adventure! Use chairs, brooms, and big boxes to go in and out of, around, under, and through. Divide guests into teams or time kids individually. For even more fun, have each player ride a tricycle through the course.

Delectable Treats

Play Pen Punch
You will need: 1 - 10 oz. package each frozen strawberries and raspberries, partially thawed; 1 - 12 oz. can frozen lime juice concentrate; 1 - 32 oz. bottle of ginger ale (chilled); 1 - 32 oz. bottle of club soda (chilled); and 1 pint vanilla ice cream. Puree berries in a blender and combine with the lime juice concentrate. Refrigerate until party time. When ready to serve, pour mixture into a punch bowl and add ginger ale, club soda, and scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Edible Play Dough
Your little rugrats will love eating and playing with this delicious dough! To make this recipe, combine 3/4 cup margarine, 1 cup light corn syrup, 1 cup peanut butter, 3 cups confectioners’ sugar, 1 Tbs. vanilla extract, and your favorite food coloring. Mix together and slowly add 3 cups of flour. Beat until smooth, and add more flour if the dough seems too sticky. Roll the dough into balls about the size of a golf ball. Refrigerate overnight. On the big day, give guests a ball of dough each and let them create monsters, animals, or anything that come to mind. Provide plastic bags so guests can take their dough home to play with and nibble on later.

Crazy Fruit Kabobs
For this recipe, purchase kabob skewers and your child’s favorite fruits. Spear melon balls, berries, apple chunks, etc. on each skewer and serve them sticking out of the upside down half of a melon. (Break off the sharp end of the skewers for younger guests.) The visual effect is best if all the fruit is skewered in the same order, with a strawberry speared on top!

Make Your Own Pizza
This party favorite is sure to please! Make your own pizza crust, purchase small ready-made crusts, or provide English muffins for individual size pizzas. Place bowls of pizza toppings, such as cheese, sauce, pepperoni, olives, green peppers, etc. within easy reach of your guests. Let each child decorate his or her own pizza. Bake pizzas for 5-8 minutes, or until ready. Serve immediately!

Decorating Tips

Spread your tablecover on your party table. If your child has any theme-related toys, you can add them to the table for a more festive display. Cut several one-to-two-foot-long pieces of curling ribbon. Curl the ribbon by pulling it between your thumb and the blade of your scissors. Lay the resulting curls on your table for added color. Hang balloons in bunches for the best effect. If you choose to fill balloons with helium, wait until the party day to ensure they float well!

Use balloons to mark the party spot; hang them on the mailbox, near the front door, or tie them to the birthday child's chair to mark the seat of honor.

Place balloons anywhere that strikes your fancy. The more the better!

Gather six or eight streamers and attach them to the ceiling in the center of the party room (or over the table). Use a light fixture over the table, if you have one, as the center point for the streamers.

To create colorful two-tone streamers, put two differently colored streamers back-to-back, twist as you walk them to the wall, and attach at shoulder height.

Smile for the Camera!
Be sure to take lots of pictures. You and your child will want to remember this special party. A helpful hint: Order extra prints and send them to the parents afterward. Remember, it's not necessary to have everyone in each picture. Focus on small groups and avoid posing all the photos. Candids capture the laughter best!
