Dd1 and birthday party

[eidsvold]

Dd1 turns 4 this year and figured as she now went to Kindy - perhaps she could have a party for her birthday.

Plan - have it at the local park - (yard not safe yet ( needs fencing) and lots of works in progress)

thought we could do a little painting activity ( takehome party pack - door hanger or something like that.

then play a treasure hunt game - match the pics - give each child a pic and they have to find the matching one.

then let them run for a while - play on play equipment

quieter game - to come together for lunch

food in little boxes/pails or something like that

more playing

birthday cake and then home.

being a novice at this - does it sound all right. few children with sn coming but figure what the heck - let them have fun

Nibbles for parents

Does this sound okay?

Any other suggestions of food ideas, gmaes etc

Party bags - colouring pencils ( sml pkt) and colouring book with door hanger they made. No food

sounds fine

Sounds very similar to the party we had for DS1 this year. The food boxes worked particularly well - much easier than spreading all the food out and letting it get trampled on! In retrospect I don't think we let them have enough time just for play - too many organised games - so your plan sounds very good.
