How To Host A Kid's Craft Party!
by Lauren Briel
Kids begin developing their artistic ability at an early age. Give them a chance to have some creative fun at a Kids' Craft Birthday or Just Because Party! Ready? Let's start planning...
Invitations:
Stencil invitations: Cut out your own stencil or buy one from a craft store. Fold a piece of paper in half and stencil the design on the front. Write the information for your crafts party inside. Keep the design simple.
Be creative and check out a scrapbook store for invitations that your child can make to indicate it will be a craft party!
Decorations:
Set up a room for kids to do arts and crafts (cover the floor with plastic or newspapers) or, host the party outside.
Provide easels, tables and white paper for creating artwork and crafts, along with lots of craft materials, such as markers, safety scissors, glue, fabric scraps, sequins, glitter, stickers, colored paper, and so on.
Hang the birthday boy's or girl's arts and crafts projects around the party room at child's eye level.
Decorate the party table with art and craft supplies.
Make placemats for the party guests that look like artists' palettes.
Games:
Dough Designs: Give the kids Play-Doh or baker's clay (dough made with flour, salt and water) and have them shape the material any way they like. Tell the kids to keep their masterpiece a surprise till everyone is done, and then have the children guess what each dough object is supposed to be!
Playdough Pictionary
Craft Trivia
Activities:
Decorate T-shirts or pillowcases: Give each child a white T-shirt, or request on the party invitations that kids bring a white T-shirt that can be decorated. Cover an area of floor with thick cardboard from the sides of large boxes. Insert a thinner, smaller piece of cardboard inside each T-shirt to keep paint from running through to the back. Tape the shirt and thin cardboard down to the heavier cardboard, keeping the front surface flat. Have kids decorate their T-shirts with non-toxic fabric paints. Allow the T-shirts to dry and let guests wear the shirts home at the end of the birthday party.
For girls... have them make diva gloves! (www.best-kids-activities.com/gloves/html)
B the party, create a long banner. By either taping pieces of paper together, or looking for connected printer paper at a office supply store. Create a design or lettering across it. Set out markers or crayons and have them do the decorating for the party themselves!
Have the kids create their own puppets. They can even put on their own puppet show! (www.best-kids-activities.com/puppets.html)
Dessert:
Bake a round cake.
Frost the cake with white frosting.
Decorate the top of the birthday cake to look like an artist's palette, using colored frosting to make circles of "paint." Set a clean, new paintbrush on top of the cake.
Bake or buy large cookies, (or even a large cookie cake) and let party guests decorate them any way they want, using tubes of icing, gels and sprinkles.
Favors:
Let the kids keep their decorated T-shirts.
Make extra baker's clay and give each guest a portion to take home at the end of the birthday party.

Dan Seals - I Wanna Bop With You Baby!
Dan Seals - I Wanna Bop With You Baby! For KiKi
I think the Dan Seals' song speaks for itself.
"Bop" sung by Dan Seals
Put on your bobby sox, baby,
Pack up your old blue jeans.
There's a band playing down at the armory
That knows what rock and roll music means.
I want to ride in your fifty- five T-bird
Back to those old memories
I ain't after your body, baby,
I just want you to dance with me.
Chorus:
I want to BOP with you baby, all night long
I wanna bebop with ya baby 'til the break of dawn
I wanna make it a night like it used to be
When our hearts were young and free
I want to BOP with you baby, all night long
I wanna bebop with ya baby 'til the break of dawn
I want to BOP with you baby, all night long
I got an old photograph in my pocket
We were still in our teens
Lord knows I look a lot older now,
But you still look the same to me.
Honey you don't ever laugh like you used to
And I don't want to see you blue
If you ain't busy tonight and you think it's all right
This is what I want to do.
(Chorus)
Let's twist and shout,
Just like in the good old days
Baby, watch out, you know I just can't stand it
When you look at me that way
After scoring several hits as part of the soft rock duo England Dan & John Ford Coley, Dan
Seals reinvented himself as a country-pop singer and enjoyed a tremendous run of success during the latter half of the '80s. Born in McCamey, TX, in 1948, his brother was Jim Seals, later of another successful soft rock duo, Seals & Crofts. Both brothers played with their parents in the Seals Family Band, with Dan learning string bass; however, after their parents divorced, Dan spent several years moving around with his mother. They eventually settled in Dallas in 1958, and Seals spent his teen years playing in garage bands, where he first met John Ford Coley. They worked together in a band called the Shimmerers, which recorded some demos in 1965 and became the Southwest F.O.B. two years later, scoring a chart single with "The Smell of Incense." Seals and Coley left to form a duo in 1969 and kicked around for a while, landing an early-'70s deal with A&M that went sour. They finally hit big in the late '70s, with soft rock touchstones "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight" and "Nights Are Forever Without You" ranking as their best-known singles.
Seals went solo in 1980, signing with Atlantic and keeping the name England Dan for his debut album, Stones. In 1981, he underwent a grueling battle with the IRS that cost him nearly everything he owned. His follow-up album, Harbinger, stiffed, and he turned his attention to country music, adapting his style to fit the demands of country radio while still keeping his signature soft sound. Signed to Liberty/Capitol, he scored a pair of Top Ten hits on the country charts in 1984 with "(You Bring Out) The Wild Side of Me" and "God Must Be a Cowboy." "My Old Yellow Car" and "My Baby's Got Good Timing" had similar success in 1985, and his next single, a duet with Marie Osmond called "Meet Me in Montana," went all the way to number one. It also kicked off a spectacular run of nine straight chart-toppers: 1986 brought "Bop" and "Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold)"; 1987 saw "I Will Be There," "Three Time Loser," and "You Still Move Me"; 1988 featured "Addicted" and "One Friend"; and 1989 gave him one more in "Big Wheels in the Moonlight." Not only that, he managed two more number ones in 1990, thanks to "Good Times" and "Love on Arrival." However, the arrival of Garth Brooks abruptly changed the country landscape, and Seals found his style out of favor. He moved to Warner Brothers in 1991, without much success, and despite releasing a few recordings on smaller labels in the latter half of the '90s, he was effectively a touring artist for the remainder of the decade. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
