If this is your plan, before the children arrive, spread and tape plastic tablecloths on the floor and lay out the craft kits with each child’s name on them in a big square with your art supplies scattered in the center. After the birthday party kids are done with their project, have them leave their craft to dry. While cake and ice cream is being served, ask a friend or family member to put each one into a corresponding goody bag that you have prepared. They will be so proud to go home with a gift that they made themselves and you’ll be receiving compliments for weeks to come.

!f you’ve given a kid’s birthday party before, you know the one thing you don’t want to have is “DOWN TIME”.  Kid’s want to be eating, playing, running and doing all of the time. That’s why Remember to prepare for an unexpected guest or sibling by having an extra kit or too!
