I was hoping to get some suggestions about where to have three-year-old birthday party. I am trying to do something that would both the kids and adults would enjoy. Any ideas?
Answer
The Zoo.
But would adults want to pay their own admission? Can you afford to cover the cost of all the kids' admissions? Kids love the zoo....and you can do a picnic theme and incorporate zoo/animal theme to your party>>
pack individual lunches in paper lunch bags but decorate them with felt, markers to look like different animals and label them. Tote them all in a cooler (but wrap in plastic bags first so they don't get wet).
Have the kids' imitate animal sounds for a game.
Invitations: Send out the call to your child's favorite party animals with an unfolding pachyderm. From an 8 1/2- by 11-inch sheet of gray paper, cut out the shape of an elephant's head and trunk and draw in the eyes and tusks. Fold in one ear over the face, then the other. On the top ear, write "You're invited"; on the second ear, write "to [the birthday child's] unforgettable ..." Fold the two ears back out, then write "ZOO" on the left ear and "PARTY!" on the right. On the trunk, fill in the party information, including a request that each child bring a favorite stuffed animal. Fold up the trunk accordion-style, then fold in each ear and place the card in an envelope.
With quick-to-make headbands, kids can decorate and don their animal alter egos as soon as they hit the party. Before the event, cut out one poster board strip (roughly 3 by 20 inches) for each guest, adding the ears for a particular animal (rounded ears for a tiger, say, or ears and horns for a giraffe). At party time, set out the strips on a newspaper-covered table or bench and scatter around a pile of crayons or water-soluble markers. Children can pick whichever blank headband they like, then color it. Measure the band around the child's' head, then staple the ends so that it fits snugly. A touch of face paint -- for whiskers, stripes, spots, or a black nose -- completes each child's costume.
Prizes and goodie bags>>>Shop for small animal figures, jungle noses, animal stickers, windup creatures, animal coloring books, tropical-flavored candy, or boxes of animal crackers. The plastic sand pails used in The Great Peanut Hunt (game description below...)make durable favor bags.
Game idea: Catch The Lion By The Tail
Like most winning games, this twist on duck, duck, goose combines suspense, action, and make-believe. Kids sit in a circle on the floor. One party-goer, the lion, tucks a homemade tail (a yellow piece of fabric with a knot in one end) into his waistband and begins circling, touching each child on the head and saying "Lion." When he decides he wants some action, he touches a player on the head and shouts "Hyena!" The lion then must dash around the circle and take the hyena's spot before the hyena can grab the lion's tail. If his tail is snatched, he remains the lion; if not, the crafty hyena becomes the new king of the jungle.
The Great Peanut Hunt>>
Like an Easter egg hunt, this simple contest indulges kids' love of discovering surprises. Before the guests arrive, hide unshelled peanuts around the area. At the party, explain to the kids that they, as elephants, must go out in search of a tasty meal. Give each child a plastic sand pail, then send them out to forage. Offer a small prize for the party-goer who harvests the biggest crop.

Monkey themed party??
Munky
I need ideas on what to do for a monkey themed birthday party, food, invitations and goody bags. Its going to happen in july.
Answer
Get those goofy plastic lil monkeys they used to serve w/ drinks, they'd hang on the top of the glasses.
You need anything tropical re: food, like coconuts, bananas, BBQ over an open flame (or even a grill), jungle trees...maybe even have cds playing only tropical, jungle sounds w/ monkeys & Lord knows what.
Have tiki torches abounding, maybe have even like a 'Survivor type' scenario going on, w/ the fire, etc....& add some games & people can win prizes, etc.
Find lil stuffed monkeys for the goodie bags, holding lots of Hershey kisses in a lil bag w/ a note like, "Thank you for coming, etc', or even those almond bars that have the coconut & walnut on top.
Sounds like fun! I'm sure whatever you decide, it'll be a success! : )
