Rubber Ducky Party
Hosting a rubber ducky party is a fun theme for 3 and 4 year old children. A rubber ducky party is colorful and has a variety of fun games to entertain the children. You can hold your ducky party indoors without as much water or outdoors in warmer weather.
Rubber Ducky Party
Attach helium balloons to an individual rubber ducky for ducky party room decorations. If your child is a Disney fan add Donald or Daisy Duck to the rubber ducky party. Use a blue tablecloth for the “water” and yellow plates for the ducky party table.

Ladybug Accessories
Little girls love ladybug accessories, especially if they are wearing their favorite ladybug dress. Ladybug accessories can be easy to make from pom poms, where they can be attached to barrettes, bracelets or pins as a perfect compliment to her ladybug dress. These pom pom crafts are simply created by sewing a small black pom pom to a larger red pom pom and adding the polka dots with black yarn.

Materials:
Black pom poms
Red pom poms
Thread
Needle
Black yarn
To add polka dots, draw a needle with double-threaded black yarn all the way through the red ball; trim both ends flush to the body (this will create two polka dots; repeat as desired). Sew in the little stripe on her back using the same method. To make her antennae, tie a knot in one end of the silk cord, and draw it through the head. Leave the knotted end at desired antennae length, and tie a knot at the same point on the other end; trim excess. A touch of white glue on the knots will keep the cord from fraying.
Baby Scrapbook
Expecting moms love a baby scrapbook as a memento of welcoming their baby into the world. Devise a baby scrapbook as a baby shower activity for each guest to work on. Each scrapbook page can be laid out with words, pictures, or drawings and embellished with a variety of materials. Gather many parenting and baby magazines for guests to cut pictures out of.
Baby Scrapbook
One baby scrapbook page can be devoted to baby names, nursery layout, wishes for the baby, tips for the new mother, parenting humor, placeholders for baby milestones, reflections of experience and more. Take photos during the baby shower of guests, decorations, gifts and special moments. The expecting mother can add these photos to the baby scrapbook during the few impatient weeks before delivery. The baby scrapbook is a wonderful place for creating keepsakes of a baby shower to reflect back on in later years.

Hold a floral birthday for a springtime or outdoor birthday party. A floral birthday is simple and inexpensive to decorate and a wonderful opportunity for little girls to show off their beautiful floral birthday dresses. Make balloon flowers (see directions below) to decorate the party area. Use spring colors in the balloon flowers or those that match the birthday dresses.
Have the girls make tissue paper flowers as a craft activity. Cut out flower shapes from colorful construction paper to make flower decorations for the party area. Another fun craft for your floral birthday are edible daisies made from rice cereal treats mixture, a flower cookie cutter with a small candy in the center.

Balloon Flower Decorations
You will need 5 balloons of one color and 2 of another coordinating color to make these balloon flowers. Do not blow up the balloons fully to keep balloons flexible enough to twist and tie. To tie off balloons, pinch the necks with one hand; with the other hand, pull the neck of the balloon to stretch it, wrap it around 2 of your fingers, and pull the end through to make a knot.
For the petals, tie 2 of the inflated balloons together in one group. Tie the remaining 3 inflated balloons together in another group. Join the balloon clusters, push the pair into the set of 3 so the necks wrap around each other.. Lock the 2 clusters together by rotating the necks of the balloons around each other several times until secure.
Balloon Flower Decorations
For the center, inflate 2 balloons of a different color (do not fill completely) and tie them together. Insert the center balloons into the petal cluster. Arrange the petals around the centers, twisting balloons several times to lock them all together. Wrap nylon string around the center of the cluster several times, then pull one end of the string between 2 of the petals and cut off the other end.
Crafts for Kids
Placemats are easy crafts for kids to make. Crafts for kids keep little hands busy during vacations, rainy days and group activities. Personalized placemats are simple crafts where children get to use their imagination to make meal time fun. Personalized placemats make great Mother’s Day and Father’s Day presents and can be modified for special occasions
Crafts for Kids
| 1. |
Cut the construction paper or poster board into rectangles approximately 23″ x 17″. |
| 2. |
Think of the person you are making the custom placemat for and start looking through the magazines and catalogues. Cut out pictures that would be of interest to that person. You can also use photographs. |
| 3. |
Once you have the pictures cut out, glue them on both sides of the poster board placement. |
| 4. |
To finish the placemat laminate it or use clear contact paper on both sides. When using clear contact paper cut it larger than the placement and be sure to get out as many air bubbles as you can. Use scissors to round off the corners. |
