Product Description

Review
'From A to Z, this is the most complete, idea-laden, sound advice giving, enthusiasm-inspiring book I've seen on the subject of how to give and what to do at children's parties. The Children's Party Book ranges in content from guidelines for parties and games for children of different ages, to a lovely discussion of what a birthday is and can be for a child. Then, it plunges into page after page of ideas-- things to make; party themes to create; party hats, invitations, decorations & favors to easily make from inexpensive materials. And then there's games, games, games -- some sure to produce giggles and cheers, others that will evoke studious concentration, and still others that will leave the players happily collapsed on the lawn after joyous exertion. As if that weren't enough, there is also a section on puppet shows -- how to make the puppets and stage, what to perform, and some puppet plays to get you going. Altogether, a great book - wish I could be there when you try it out!' -- Bob and Nancy's Bookshop (www waldorfbooks.com)

Product Description
An invaluable guide for anyone arranging their child's party. Over 240 ideas for indoor and outdoor games, plus craft activities for children from three to twelve years old.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful compendium of party games and activities, 26 May 1999
By A Customer
If you can't think what to do at your child's next birthday party, look no further than this book. It provides a wide range of games and activities for children from 3 to 12, as well as suggestions for decorations and themes.

What I especially like is the creative slant of many of the suggestions. Don't spend pounds on professional party entertainers - produce your own puppet show or treasure hunt. It's not that difficult (the book shows you how) and it is infinitely more rewarding. I know, I've tried it and it's worked!

No matter what sort of party you or your child would like, you will find the games to suit: indoor, outdoor, creative, active, peaceful, tuneful, simple, challenging..., for birthdays or other occasions. The authors also provide useful information on how to organise the party from start to finish.

If you groan at the thought of yet another party, then buy this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really good!, 31 Jan 2006
By A Customer
I can only repeat what the other reviewers have said, this book tells you everything you need to know about making a party for children. It has advice for themes, planning, invitations and games. The games are all divided into age ranges, number of children suitable for, indoor/outdoor. Good!
