Dennis: Thanks so much for visiting and commenting. That’s one of my favorite parts, too, that the kids have a handmade keepsake to take home. They all seemed to enjoy it.

Thanks for the ideas. This made me remember back when I was a kid about all the birthday party’s. The ones that I remembered most was always the ones where you were involved in some kinds of games or doing something creative. The best part of doing a craft project is that every kid will have a chance to take a keep-sake home and they will remember that day for the rest of their life. Just how this article makes me think about how I enjoyed those type of birthday parties like that. Great article, look forward to looking at the rest of the site.

The last page included a Mad Libs type activity, and also featured some original drawings from their readers. [...]

[...] One of the crafts that we had for the kids at my daughter’s birthday party was Zoo Animal Magnet Kits from Oriental Trading Company. I always wonder how the crafts are going to be shipped, and how much assembly will be required when they get here, so I thought I’d lay out a before and after of one of the magnets. The black rectangle is the magnet that gets glued on the back. All of the pieces can be assembled with standard school glue. Isn’t he a cute little monkey with his curly pipe cleaner tail? [...]

Local Girl: It is fun for them to go home with some things they made, and they have fun creating together. I think it’ll be a fun memory!

Mary: It was a fun time, but there’s no party that they’ve ever not had a blast at!

Lisa: It was. Thanks for stopping by.

JHS: It was fun, though I think I need to plan for help if I ever try this one again. The mommy friends that chose to stay saved my skin!
