Party Ideas - Grand Rapids,MI

Hi R.,

Here's an idea I have, I too love to plan parties.

You could make here party look like she's on a horse ranch with fake hay stacks and a barn. You could have someone dress as a farmer if you want. Decorate with different kinds of toy horses around the room maybe using reds,greens,browns,blacks or whites for color. For some fun the kids do a real horseback ride or you can have a fake one as a game. The kids could also play a child's version of horseshoes. Pin the tail on the horsey. They could also play find the plastic eggs in the hay stack. These are just some ideas running through my head at the moment, if you like any of them or you want more ideas feel free to contact me. Good luck with the party.

Hi R.~
We have a horse party every year for the Kentucky Derby so I'll give you the ideas we have used, you'll just have to adjust them to kid level. Pick a few common phrases involving the word horse and have them pre-written on cards. Make a blank velcro board and have the kids guess the phrases one at a time. When they guess one right, they get to stick it to the velcro board and get a prize. We also did a 'matching' game with a picture of a horse and the corresponding parts (some of them have strange names :)). We also have wooden horses glued to flat boards (so they stand up), and attached to string and a dowel. The kids have to sit in a chair and roll the dowel to make the horses "race" as the string rolls up on the dowel. One year we had a pj party and everyone had to find horse pj's to wear. I'll try to think of things we've done in past years and get back to you! Good luck and have a blast!
