Craft foam is usually very inexpensive and durable. If you take one sheet it can be rolled to make a pencil holder. Once you have rolled the foam and securely glued it to make a neat seam you can decorate it anyway that you like. To make it even more fun for your child, take them to the craft store with you and have them pick out the accessories to be put on the pencil holder. Or you can use things from home, buttons are always a nice accent and you can be very creative with them.

You can also purchase foam that is in different shapes or you can cut out designs such as animal designs or character designs. If you dip the foam into paint you can create a wonderful textured Picasso. Your kids will love it. For extra fun replace the paint with some home made jello pudding. The kids can �sample� their art work as they create it.

For the kids birthday invitations purchase some pink or red card stock. Your local craft store should have the stencil for the bow. Mail the invitations 3 weeks before the Hello Kitty Party to give everyone plenty of notice about the party.

A Hello Kitty tea party would make a great addition to your kids theme birthday. Have the girls bring their favorite stuffed animal to attend the tea party. Purchase flower cut outs or Hello Kitty cut outs and serve sandwiches to fit the theme.

Since Mory is a mole who lives in Hello Kitty�s garden why not have a bean bag toss? Take a box and paint it green. Cut three large holes in the front. The object of the game is to see who can toss all three bean bags in the holes first. You could even buy a few Hello Kitty figurines to give to the winner.

As a keepsake have the girls bead friendship bracelets made from plastic pony heads on lanyard lacing. Visit www.treasureboxkids.com to see our adorable Birthday party dresses and many more ideas for parties, as well as some tips and tricks.
