Planners Anyone?
As a mother I have to plan birthday parties every year. I am not big on spending money on items that I do not need or items I may not potentially use again. What I love to do is take the things my kids love at the time and tie them into the theme of the party. My youngest son loves Micheal Jackson. His birthday is in July so instead of throwing a typical barbecue we decided to have a "Michael Jackson Bad Extravaganza." A couple of foam boards,oak tag, three MJ posters, glitter glue, small boxes (used), wooden skewers,some paint and a life sized MJ poster board went a long way. He also dressed the part. My three year old (at the time) was a toddler MJ and made sure no one stole his shine on his birthday. Here are a few pictures from his performance.
Ninety percent of the decorations were repurposed from arts and crafts fun to big brother's Disney Junior party that September.
