Tips For Throwing a Fourth of July Party
For a Child
Are you planning on having a Fourth of
July party for your child? If so, here are some tips to make it an
extra special day:?
Help your child make out invitations
using red, white, and blue construction paper. Be sure to have an
RSVP with a PS, noting everyone should dress in red, white, and
blue.
Enlist the aid of your family to help design, and make party
decorations. Print, or buy some coloring books, and have on hand red
and blue crayons. If it’s a warm day, you can certainly have the
party in the back yard. Decorate a table with patriotic colors, and
include all paper goods, and plastic spoons and forks.
Depending on the age of the children, decide on an appropriate menu.
Perhaps you would like to bake a flag sheet cake, as well! You can
even add sparklers to it, upon presentation.
Purchase either a piñata or party favors for the kids, such as
patriotic hats; red, white, and blue beaded bracelets for the girls;
and red, white, and blue caps for the boys. Perhaps you can make
party gifts for the kids by putting candies and toys in little
patriotic sacks, or cloth bags made from red, white, and blue
fabric. How about a bit of face painting?
Draw red and blue stars on their cheek, or forehead.
If you have a John Philip Sousa CD, you can have the kids play
musical chairs. How about having a flag kite ready for launching
after lunch? The kids would love that! You can play follow the
leader, by playing a patriotic CD, handing every child a mini flag,
and having them follow you around the backyard or through the house
in a zigzag motion.
Throwing a child’s Fourth of July party may take a bit of planning,
but the result is worth all of the time taken to make this “one
special celebration!”
