Need an Idea - Mesa,AZ

Hi T.- I do custom embroidery as a side business if you are interested in making her a special personalized shirt. She can wear the shirt with khaki shorts or pants. You can then make her a special safari hat from construction paper, or those flexible foam sheets from the craft store, OR I can also make really cute hair bows that could be in the same safari colors as the shirt.

My oldest daughter had a monkey theme party for her 2nd b-day and I made her a shirt with a monkey on it and her name below in pink, and I am currently make a safari shirt for a friend that has a lion on it and the child's name below. I have a variety of safari designs. If you provide your own shirt, I only charge $10 to do the embroidery (you can get plain colored shirts that are perfect at Target for $4.99).

You can email me at ____@____.com for more info and I can send you pics of my daughters shirt. You can also check out my blog at www.threepurplepigs.blogspot.com if you want to see pictures of what my embroidery work looks like.

Have a super time at the party! J.

There are cute safari outfits at the zoo. It is a whole out khaki shirt/short ensemble and it's about $50 dollars, if I remember correctly. It even comes with sunglasses! Hope you find what you're looking for.

Here is a link for a zoo keeper girl costume.

Children's Place & Old Navy always have cute stuff for summer. Get her some cute cargo shorts with a t-shirt & a hat so she can climb & get dirty at the zoo. Old Navy usually has cute fisherman bucket hats that could be safari. Also, the zoo gift shop has some adorable hats, so maybe get her hat there & it can be a momento of the big day & something she can wear for a while. Have fun!

You can google Safari outfit 4T and a lot of cute stuff comes up on Ebay. Also, what about dressing her up in an animal costume and having her friends do the same? That would be kinda fun!

I know The Children's Place had a safari line with some cute dresses, you might be able to find one on e-bay.
Also try Gymboree, I believe they too had a safari line.
Good Luck!

What if you just made a vest?? It could be out of a safari print?

Hi, I own an online boutique www.thebabysbundle.com. It would be super cute if you did a black shirt with a #4 on it in leopard or zebra print, matching black pants and maybe a hair bow with the same animal print.
Not sure if you are looking for something more dressy. Hope that helps.

Take some tan shorts and a tan shirt.. decorate the shirt with butterflies and (stencils; painted on ?) draw her name on the pocket like she is a zoo worker?
Don't stress too much..the kid won't remember this event anyway ...unless it ends badly LOL

Why not do a cute dress with capri leggings underneath? My daughter has a problem with keeping her dresses down like a lady so we always make sure she has something underneath. A dress with those little leggings that are right under the knee length with lace trim at the bottom look very cute and they are inexpensive too. You can find them at Walmart, Target, Old Navy.

What about something like this...

Amazon.com has a safari costume and oriental trading company has safari hats and cool goodies too.

The zoo actually has PHX zoo safari/zookeeper outfits

I like your idea to get your daugher a special out for her birthday. I'll have to remember that one.

How about this...

You could also get her khaki shorts, a whit shirt and a hat this this one. I'm sure the zoo sells these hats. She could wear the shorts and shirt again.

Good luck and have fun. I just had my son's 6th birthday party yesterday. We had a petting zoo come to us at the park. It was much cheaper than the Zoo and the kids had a blast...www.cartersfarmaz.com.
