New & Different Ideas for BIRTHDAY PARTIES...

how about going to the nail salon. some of them offer parties for little girls. it looks like you already have alot of great ideas.

Temple Terrace Rec. Center allows parties in their gymnastics room. Reasonable prices, and their staff monitors the kids :)

My sister had a Mad Hatter Tea party at her house, where the little girls got to dress up in princess costumes and have tea and little desserts and cake. Her daughter was Alice, for the theme. The made foam tiarras and necklaces. It was fun. Instead of invites, you could send out a Royal Summons

wow you got a lot of free time...LOL! Thank you for the great list of references.

I don't know exactly where you live but last year we had my daughter's 4th birthday at the spray park in Oldsmar. We live in Lutz and it is about 25-30 minutes from us so it's not so bad. We had younger kids and older kids in the 6-7 year old range and they all had fun. We brought a pinata and outside activities including a bubble blower, face painting, sidewalk chalk and spin art. This year we had her party at Inflate World which is similar to Pump It Up. It is in Odessa off of SR 54 and a lot of fun. I have been to parties at Pump It Up and liked this place better.

Try the craft stores. Sometimes they will do make a craft parties.

One of my faves that we've had was having the Croc Encounters people come and bring their animals - www.CrocEncounters.org. They were awesome, and kept all the kids (approx. 24 kids from 4-7 years old) completely engaged.

Sleep over with games and popcorn. This was my girls favorites. One year we bobbed for apples, made popcorn balls, glued and glittered pine cones for Christmas decorations. They loved it. We always had a different craft to work on. They prefered the sleep overs to any other Birthday party.
