My daughter turns 7 in January and I am leaning on having a traditional party at home. We plan to keep it small.

What would be a fun project we could do that isn't too messy or complicated for their age? She loves cats so that would be the theme.

Pizza and cake would follow the project. I am really looking forward to hosting her party this year. Yay!

What can I do next?

At my DD's 7th birthday, I bought plain wooden frames from Michaels craft store and the girls each got to decorate a frame with markers, stickers, feathers, glue, glitter etc.

Then we took a quick snapshot of each girl, printed them on photopaper and put them in frame, super cute!

Her theme was supermodels, so we rented some staging and had them walk the runway in our backyard and took them pics of them on the stage. Maybe do a pic of them holding a cat?

What about making cat face pizzas or decorating cookies or cupcakes.

My daughters had a cat themed 9th b-day party - for crafts we made origami cats that the guests colored with markers, then they decorated "baskets" for their cats (I had a bunch of plastic pint baskets from strawberries and they used scrap fabric and ribbon to decorate the baskets), and also cat memo holders - I made cat faces and bodies out of cereal box cardboard that the guests decorated, then we used a few glue dots to attach the head to the top of a wooden clothespin and the body to the bottom, then glue dot a magnet to the back - so it looks like the cat holds a memo in its mouth (pm me if you'd like to see a photo of how these turned out)

paper bag puppets are another fun and easy craft that can be easily cat-themed.

and if you'd like game ideas - you could play pin the collar on the cat, or do a bean bag toss - I drew a big cat face on a large cardboard box and cut out the mouth, and made easy bean bag 'fish' by tying some dried beans into a couple of mismatched kids socks and drawing fins and fish eyes on the socks with a sharpie marker.

They have little figurines at Walmart or Michaels that are cat shaped. You can let them paint them or perhaps have them make some cat ears out of headbands and felt and paint some whiskers on with face paint.
Here is a link to a no sew sock cat that might be fun too.
