  • Cool Party Crafts
  • From "Crafty Kids"
    episode DCK-111
    advertisement

    Don't just sit around with cake and ice cream at your next birthday party ... do something original, says kid crafter Joe Lamancusa. Two of his super-cool ideas for party crafts are outlined below.

    For a fun, easy game that makes a great party activity, Joe recommends nine-square bingo. To create the game cards, simply draw a grid of nine squares and place a sticker in each one (the stickers should display a variety of items). As the caller calls out the items on the stickers, the players simply mark the corresponding items on their cards.

    A final tip:

    • Have lots of inexpensive prizes on hand -- this game offers plenty of chances to win!

    Shirt signing is another crowd-pleasing party activity. Purchase various colors of fabric paint and have all your guests use them to sign and decorate a T-shirt, front and back. Once everyone has signed, you'll be left with a great piece of party memorabilia!
