Ladybug Party Ideas Part 1

Thursday, March 8th, 2012

Ladybug party ideas include several considerations like any other party such as the decorations, invitations, food and drinks, party supplies, and also the games and activities for the party. They are suitable for kids, especially little girls, who like ladybug. The ladybug party theme is ideal for spring and summer party ideas. We see these cute little bugs every year and most people love them. How many insects can you say that about? When we see these little ladies dressed in their red and black uniforms we know spring has sprung and we look forward to more warm days. A ladybug theme party makes a good birthday party choice for infants, toddlers and elementary school children, especially little girls, who love the pretty polka-dotted bugs. Make your own party invitations with some red, black and white construction paper and some goodly eyes. Cut out a round or oval shape with one of the colors, make small circle cut outs with the other color. Glue the spots on to the back of your invitation. Glue on the eyes on and make some thin cuts of black paper to be antenna and glue them in place. Write all the party info on the white paper and glue it on the underside of the invitation. You can also use ladybug stickers to decorate your paper. For the party decorations, black and red is the obvious and attractive color scheme for this party theme, along with green for grass. You can also combine red and pink in the party decorations, for example by having a red tablecloth with pink napkins or using a combination of pink and red balloons or streamers. Make food and drink a part of the decorations, especially if the party is being held for an older child, who will appreciate an attractive snacks table. Set out pitchers of red fruit punch, plates of watermelon slices and bowls of strawberries and jars of red and black or red and pink jelly beans and red and black licorice. For the rest of the party supplies needed with the ladybug theme, get matching paper plates, cake plates, drinking cups and napkins. Do not forget the matching balloons and especially the piñatas; it will be the main décor of the party. If your budget will permit it, get a specially made ladybug cake. If not, you may opt for red cupcakes with black candy sprinkles instead. You can make fun of this party theme by creating games and activities related to the theme. Scatter the children around the party area and play some music. An ideal song would be a children’s song about ladybugs. Have the children flutter around the room like ladybugs. When the music goes off, the “ladybugs” have to freeze and be completely still until the music comes back on. Any player caught moving while the music is off is out of the game. Award a prize to the last player standing. Ladybug spot relay race can bring a lot of fun to the children. Divide the players into two teams and have them line up at a starting line. Place a cone about 15 feet away from the starting line. Give the first player in each team line two black construction paper dots. When you say, “Race,” the players must use the “ladybug dots” to walk around the cone and back. They must place one dot in front of the other to walk on only the dots. Players cannot touch the ground. Each player in line must do the same thing. The first team to finish the ladybug spot relay race wins the game. Another interesting game is the ladybug tic-tac-toe. Use rope to create a large tic-tac-toe board. If you do not have rope, use sidewalk chalk on concrete. Mark a standing line about 10 feet from the board (adjust the line closer for young children and farther away for older children). Have two players stand at the line. Give one player six red beanbags and the other player six black beanbags. For added decoration, paint red dots on the black beanbags and black dots on the red beanbags. Have the players toss the beanbags onto the board. The first player to get a tic-tac-toe wins the game.

10 Steps to Success For Kids Birthday Party Ideas

Monday, September 12th, 2011

Birthday party ideas for kids; the choices are endless, but pulling it off without breaking a sweat, well that’s an art. The secret to success is a combination of enthusiasm and thoughtful planning. Follow these 10 steps and you will get it right from the start. Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays!  There is just something  so sweet and innocent about it….what could be bad about a day that is all about telling people you love them?!  If you are hosting a Valentine’s Day party for your kids this year, here are a few activities that will keep the kids occupied and having a blast! 10 Steps to a Successful Party Step 1 The first and most essential step when organising a birthday party is as simple as making a list. Lay out your ideas, what you would be prepared to do, ideas for a theme, available dates, location, entertainment, refreshments etc. Step 2 Now you have a plan, consult your party child. Your well thought out list gives them the wonderful opportunity to choose what they would like based on the options you have already thought through, and also ensures you don’t end up with pony rides in your third floor apartment after telling them it’s their special day and they should ell you what they want, oops, never do that! Step 3 Now you have your plan, and if you have decided on professional entertainment you will need to book at least 4 weeks in advance. Don’t forget though, Uncle Jimmy could make a wonderful clown. Step 4 Get a ‘Party Tub’, those large plastic ones with lids are perfect. This is where you can store all your essential party supplies. Keeping your leftover supplies there will mean you always have something for the next party, and you child will love the fun of adding something to it each week. Step 5 Decide on the number of kiddies you can handle, then ask you child who they would like to invite. Step 6 Don’t forget the BFF, what child doesn’t want their best friend by their side on such an auspicious occasion. Be prepared to change the date to ensure they can attend. Step 7 It’s another list, think before baking. Now you know how many mouths to feed you start planning refreshments, what is non perishable can go in the tub. Step 8 Get out those invitations at least 2 weeks before the day. Remember the RSVP with a reply date, phone number and name of the person to speak to. Step 9 One of the most overlooked birthday party ideas for kids is that it’s okay to delegate. Being the Mum doesn’t mean you have to do everything, but you do have to make sure everything is taken care of. So exercise this idea by asking a parent or two to stay and help, designate tasks, such as serving food, or managing the games, then you can focus on everything running smoothly. Step 10 Plan a schedule of events before the guests arrive, but don’t worry if it all goes hay wire, birthday parties are meant to be a little crazy, so go with it, have fun and just enjoy them while they’re young. Ask all of the guests to bring a valentine for each child.  As the host, provide a little mailbox for each guest to collect their valentines.  You can find these little, metal mailboxes at craft stores such as Michael’s, Joann’s or Hobby Lobby.  Don’t worry about the color….a quick coat of spray paint will fix that!  (add sweet touch by personalizing each one with the child’s name) Have the kids create cards with a flower theme….use pieces of green felt for the stems and leaves, and cupcake paper liners for the flower heads.  Add a picture of the child into the center of it to make it the perfect valentine card to bring home to Mom and Dad!
