| Zoo Trip Party | Zany Zebra Shakes
When zebras speed through the jungle, they create a whirl of black and white just like these scrumptious milk shakes.
Ingredients:
- 6 (6-oz.) glasses of milk
- 12 cookies, crushed (plus extra for top of shakes)
- 2-3 scoops of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt
You’ll also need a blender.
Combine milk, cookie crumbs, and ice cream in a blender. Add additional ice cream for thicker shakes. Spin until smooth; pour into glasses, top with cookie crumbs and let the kids dig in! Serves for 6.
Decorating Tips
Spread your tablecover on your party table. And if your child has any theme-related toys, you can add them to the table for a more festive display.
Cut several one-to-two-foot-long pieces of curling ribbon. Wave the ribbon by pulling it between your thumb and the blade of your scissors. Put down the resulting curls on your table for added color. Then hang balloons in bunches for the best effect. If your choice to fill balloons with helium, wait until the party day to ensure they float well!
Use these balloons to mark the party spot; hang them on the mailbox, near the front door, or tie them to the birthday child's chair to mark the seat of honor.
Place balloons wherever that strikes your fancy (the more the better)!
Gather six or eight streamers and attach them to the ceiling in the center of the party room (or over the table). If you have a light fixture, use over the table, as the center point for the streamers.
Create colorful two-tone streamers. Put two differently colored streamers back-to-back, twist as you walk them to the wall, and attach at shoulder height.
Camera:Smile!
Be sure to take lots of pictures. You with your child will want to remember this special party. Hint: Order extra prints and send them to the parents afterward. Keep in mind, that it's not necessary to have everyone in each picture. Concentrate on small groups and avoid posing all the photos, as candid capture the laughter best!
