Clown Hat and Costume kid party idea.

  • Decorate a large piece of construction paper any way you want with markers, crayons, stickers, etc. for this party activity. Roll it up into a cone shape. Staple an elastic cord on opposite sides so that your child can put it on their head. The elastic cord will go under the chin and hold it on. It’s a kid party idea that is great for any kid birthday carnival or kid birthday circus party.

  • For an additional
    party activity
    , you can make a clown nose to go with it by painting an egg cup (from an egg carton) red. Let the cup dry and staple an elastic cord on opposite sides so that the kids can put it over their heads and wear it as a nose.

  • Make a clown collar by cutting the middle out of a paper plate and cutting through the ring on one side. Decorate the collar and slip it around your child’s neck. A great party activity and kid party idea.

    Paper Bag
    Piñatas make a cool party activity and birthday party idea.

  • Let kids decorate paper bags. Then fill the bags with inexpensive toys or candy. Blow air into the bags and create “piñatas”. Tie them along a string stretched between two posts or trees and give each child a turn to smack one and win the goodies without a mad dash. This is a safer way for kids to enjoy the treats of a Pinata and a kid party idea that is also a fair way to distribute the fruits of the pinata in this party activity.

    Make a birthday candle of your own for a great kid party idea.

  • What you need, and what to do for this birthday party idea.

    1. Get a large, plain candle.
    2. Measure and mark the candle with evenly spaced lines using a permanent marker.
    3. Number the lines starting with your present age at the top and ending with age 13 or whatever number you choose as a final year at the bottom.
    4. Decorate the candle with markers or stickers. Melt some old candles or some canning wax colored with old crayons and pour this in a thin layer on a baking sheet. When the wax has cooled, but not completely hardened, take small cookie cutters or some other tool and cut out shapes to decorate the candle. A very creative kid party idea.

    Make Play Dough as a party activity and creative birthday party idea.
