Rental Bounce Houses
Recent news reports have focused on bounce house safety. At Treasure Box Kids we want to make sure that your birthday activities are safe ones. Here are some tips for keeping this kids birthday party idea a safe one.
- Make sure to have adult supervision at ALL times
- Make sure the bounce house is anchored securely at the corners
- Watch for any rips or holes in the bounce house unit
- Do not use a bounce house in high winds
- Do not allow children to flip or somersault
- The weight of an adult can bounce smaller children at dangerous heights, so keep adults out
- Limit the number of children in the bounce house at one time
- Keep children under 3 years old out of the bounce house unit
- Empty pockets and do not let children bring toys into the bounce house
Setting up Rental Bounce Houses
If you are considering renting a bounce house select a credible bounce house company that carries insurance. Let the bounce house professionals set up the bounce house before your party begins. Make sure that the professional securely fastens the bounce house with either 18″ hook spikes inserted into the ground at a 45 degree angle or using 50-pound bags on each corner. Bounce houses should only be set up on a driveway or blacktop as a last resort.
Incorporating an inflatable jump house or slide brings a lot of excitement and fun to summer birthday parties.

Birthday Cake Designs
Birthday cake designs are important because the birthday cake serves as the centerpiece for the birthday party. Birthday cake designs should incorporate the interests and likes of the birthday girl or boy. The creativity of birthday cakes has expanded significantly in recent years. Simple sheet cakes still highlight birthday parties because they are easy to make and tend to serve more guests.

Birthday Cake Designs
Birthday cake ideas can be taken from the interests or hobbies of the guest of honor. Favorite characters, movies or television shows are popular choices for birthday cake ideas. Sports or other hobbies can be incorporated in the design too. The size of the birthday cake may influence the final design. Determine the number of guests and amount of cake needed. If the chosen design will not feed all of your guests, make an extra sheet cake or perhaps some cupcakes. Sheet cakes are a basic style for birthday parties. A sheet cake is one layer and is rectangular in shape. Sheet cakes often are iced smooth with a shell or star border around the top and bottom edge. Sheet cakes can be decorated to fit any birthday party theme. Edible images can be placed directly on the iced cake. These are available in a variety of characters and themes. New toys can be placed on top of a sheet cake to relate to the theme. This decorating technique requires little experience, since the toys are the main decoration. The toys on the cake can double as a gift for the birthday child.

Birthday Party Ideas
Girls Birthday Party: Littlest Pet Shop Birthday Party
A very unique girls birthday party is a party that would include an animal theme. No one loves animals more than little girls. Why not have a children�s birthday party theme centered on animals?
When your guests first arrive at the children�s birthday party, give them their own set of animal ears. You can purchase inexpensive hats from a paint store and attach felt animal ears. Face paint whiskers and a pink nose on each girl.

Girls Birthday Party
One party game suggestion is a dog bone treasure hunt. Number the bones before hiding them. As the girls find the bones give them a prize that corresponds to the number on the bone. Another game suggestion would be leap frog. Make Lilly pads from felt and place them on the floor. Play the game of musical chairs using the Lilly pads.
To wind down the children�s birthday party, have the children make their own little pet house to take home. Use collected shoe boxes and cereal boxes to make this keepsake. Provide plenty of colorful paper and sticky back foam for them to decorate their very own pet house. If your budget allows purchase stuffed animals as a party favor for the pet house.

Children’s Birthday: Zoo party
A fun idea for a children�s birthday party is to take a trip to the zoo. This will take the stress off of having to think of games when children are very young. This is the perfect idea for a children�s party. For beautiful birthday and party dresses, please visit us at www.treasureboxkids.com.
In lieu of having to supply party favors and lunch, you might consider just paying the admission of each guest. You can have cake at home to celebrate your child�s first birthday for anyone who would like to return to your home after the zoo excursion.

Children's Birthday
Arrange to meet at the front gate at a designated time. You can wear safari hat so that your guest will easily find you. If you have paid the admission before your guests arrive, you can distribute the tickets as they arrive.
To distinguish your group from the others in the zoo you can have painters caps decorated with animal designs. Painter�s caps can be purchased for about one dollar at a painting supply company. To make your children�s birthday party even more personal have your child�s name on the painters hat. For example it can say Johnny�s First Birthday. To add to the fun and cohesiveness of the group suggest that each parent dress the child in a certain color. This will also help if everyone does not know each other and becomes detached from the group during the day.
For a first birthday an excellent gift idea is to suggest that in lieu of giving the baby gifts the guests can make a donation to the zoo for the care of animals. Your child is too young to understand the concept of a birthday and will not know the difference. This will be a great way to celebrate her birthday and help the zoological society as well.

Childrens Birthday

Purchase reindeer hats at the dollar store and present them to each child as they arrive. Start the birthday party by taking a large picture of Santa and glue it to some corrugated cardboard. Have the guests pin the nose on Santa.
One tradition that has been lost over the years is caroling. This birthday party would be an opportune time to teach the kids that age old tradition. Practice a few songs then go out and treat the neighborhood to some good old fashioned caroling!
