Please do you have any suggestions for a stall for kids at a summer fete (for my mother!)

[CountessDracula]

She has to devise a stall at her village's summer fete next year for children. Could be something crafty or a game they could play.

I suggested stone painting or biscuit/cake decorating.

Has anyone seen or done something really fab for kids at a fete?

The one DSs enjoyed the most at the school fair this year was run by a bathroom company and involved throwing plastic ducks into toilets to try and win prizes.

Which isn't much help really since your mother is unlikely to have a number of assorted sized toilets hanging about...

don't jup on e for this but what about a 'tattoo parlour' haracter teporary tattoos come really heap fro the states on ebay and there is every popular charater or theme available

We did hair braiding too.
And tying silks and plaiting them into hairgrips so they were instant.

The one I liked best at school fêtes as a kid was seeing how far you could sling a welly boot.

will have a think, the toilet idea sound hilarious!

i've got keys issing an you tell?

We are going to try this at our Christmas Bazaar. Looks like a great idea -- hopefully it will be! It would be really good for a summer fete as well.

Make Grassheads!

Using the legs of tights , put grass seeds in the end, fill with sawdust (from pet shop) so you get a slightly larger than tennis ball sized "head", decorate with glitter glue/buttons/felt shapes etc to make a face.

Children take these away, keep them watered and the grass grows to make "hair"

I saw a candle dipping thing once - you dipped in 3 colours and made a stripey candle.
