The newest title in our popular Children's Activity Series! Kids love parties, no matter the occasion! Putting on a Party: Adventure Parties for Kids teaches kids how to throw great parties, from organizing and planning to cleaning up and everything in between. Organized by individual party themes, Putting on a Party gives kids all the information they need to host a Polar Expedition, Westward Trek, Space Voyage, High Seas Adventure, or Sensational Safari. Outrageously creative activities await each partygoer-who doesn't want to make alien slime, drink rainforest refreshers, crack open moon rocks, munch on Oregon Trail pizza, or run a penguin race?-and kids will love the active role they play in planning and running their own celebrations! Included are ideas for games, prizes, refreshments, party favors, crafts, invitations, decorations, and more-all the information a busy mom or dad needs to help put together a party that children of all ages will love. The book also includes important information on being a good host, helping kids avoid hurt feelings and social blunders, and making sure no kids are left out of the fun-in short, it gives kids and parents all the information they need to know to make sure everyone has a good time.
