bump.......................................1yr on btw he had a play kingdom party ... more kids turned up then expected but the venue people were ok
1yr on decided will have a free form party. maybe rent a small room for a few hours. cold buffett sandwiches crisps etc. if i am lucky some fried chicken and hardough bread.
any suggestions pls.......party games food etc age catering for 3yr old
Well don't make regular sandwiches because they won't get eaten.
Buy some of those shape cutters for playdough or baking and make small, shaped sandwiches. And use finger baps, pitta bread ect.
Make lots of choclate rice krispies/cornflakes ( I never make enough of these kids love em) Get your son and close friends to help make them.
Try making a theme of your food...space, animals ect. Presentation is all important. Oh and hold food back for that age group or they will just farce with it all. But it is important to let them help themselves.
As for party games I find that the traditional ones are still the best (with slight variations) with that age group; ie pass the parcel, musical chairs.
A variation of pass the parcel is to use ballons when the music stops the child pops the balloon which would have an instruction inside...pat your head and rub your belly. You know kids love poping balloons.
Actually have hundreds of balloons (not enviromentally friendly but hey) There are dozens of games you can play using balloons. Obstacle courses and races, Treasure hunts ect are all good.
Google Party games for kids there are lots of websites that are geared just for party games.
Ask your son and his friends what games they like.
I would hire a large hall and get one of those 'circus shows' in. Few years ago I hired a circus magician act (who was crap) but he brought these amazing 3 wheeled bikes/peddle things with him, the kids loved.
You can hire go-carts/ bikes if you have plenty of space and not as expensive as you might think (unless you live in London)
If we do not have an accurate analysis of the problem, we cannot possibly develop a good strategy to resolve it.
WOW is Baby Day 3 already? I thought we were about a month apart but come to think of it it's Baby Maat's day next month too!
I really like the suggestions Tahliba

yep he is 3 in sep. I am so blessed. I know he will love running around making noise and not beng told to calm down. cant wait. fingers crossed the hall wont go just yet. Also working on entertainer gonna make my calls 2moro
I went back through this thread. some good pointers. I booked a small room which is roomy enought for say 10-30 kids. There will be loads of balloons as many as i can blow up. Party bags each have 4 sweets and a toy and colour pencil. i couldnt find mini note pads that were cheap n cheerful but hey
food have chosen mini fried dumplins, chicken niblets, gateaus swiss rolls biscuits crips sweets sandwiches etc. its a school night and just 2 hours so just keeping it simple
entertainer booked for 1st hour allowing the kids to run riot afterwards.
next yr strictly a weekend flex and will be 4 hours and more family focused...i refused to do big people food for pickney party
