Take into account, some of your guests may have very dissimilar skill levels than your child. So, be ready to help children be successful at a particular activity.
- A child who has difficulty reading may need help with the "clues" in a treasure hunt.
- A child who is a bit physically awkward may need extra encouragement on an obstacle course.
Hence, if a child really doesn't want to participate in a group activity allows him to watch or help with the activity or play at one of the activity centers. * Arts & Crafts projects are fun, and should be relatively easy for the children to do, so they don't require a lot of adult leadership and aren't frustrating for the children.
You may avoid crafts that require lots of glue (messy and frustrating waiting for glue to dry) and use washable paints and markers to avoid staining skin or clothes.
- Beads and cord for necklaces or key chains, modeling clay, and pipe cleaner "sculpting" are popular arts & crafts project that most children are familiar with.
- If you child's birthday is before a holiday, consider a craft related to the holiday.
Some party themes just scream for entertainment. The magic theme party really needs a magician. As you think about different themes for your child's party, think about whether entertainment would add to the fun.
For the standard clowns and magicians is possible to book "character" entertainers, who come as popular TV, movie, or story book characters.
- Puppet shows are fun for younger children and so are singers and musicians who lead children in musical activities.
Consequently, if you decide to hire an entertainer try to see her in action before committing to determine if she is the right performer for your child's' party. That is more important that the person be good with children than be the world's best magician, clown, or singer.
Introduce entertainer to your child, when she arrives. Most entertainers will give your child special opportunities to participate in the "show". If you child is shy and does not want to be the "star" of the show, let the entertainer know this ahead of time.
