You've got mail! Kit includes four 4" papier maché mailboxes, two paint strips, four paint brushes, and easy-to-follow instructions. Each mailbox measures 4"L x 2.5"W x 3"H. Parent participation is recommended. Caution: Be careful to protect clothing when working with acrylic paint. It is permanent and will stain. (Ages 4 and up.)

Blue's Search for Clues
Before the party, think of several clues that would be easy for youngsters to figure out. Write each clue on an index card, and add a blue paw print to each. Sample Clue: "I’m cold on the inside, and I run all day and all night long." When your guests figure out that the answer to the clue is the refrigerator, have everyone look inside the refrigerator for the next clue. Hide the remaining clues around the house, and have the final clue lead to the birthday cake. Your guests will love showing off how much they know, then they’ll be happily rewarded with a yummy dessert!

Follow Blue
Join in the fun with this silly activity! The first thing you need is music, any children's music will do. Choose a leader and have all the other party guests line up behind him/her. The leader makes all sorts of creative moves, and the rest of the line follows. If the leader needs some help you can suggest hopping, jumping, twirling, rolling on the ground, etc. Pick a new leader every few minutes. Play until everyone has had a turn, or until they're ready for a new activity.

Ha, Ha, Ha!!!
The object of this game is to keep a straight face while the other players try to make you laugh. All players form a circle and one player begins by saying, "Ha." The next player says, "Ha, Ha," followed by the next player who says, "Ha, Ha, Ha," and so on around the circle with each player adding a "Ha" to the string. Each player must pronounce the "Ha"s as solemnly as they can, to avoid laughter as long as possible. Any player who laughs or makes a mistake must drop out of the circle. However, he or she then gets to try to make the remaining players laugh in any way (except by touching them or talking). The most serious player (the one who keeps a straight face the longest) wins the game.

Pin the Party Hat on Blue
Draw Blue’s face on a piece of posterboard, and cut party hat shapes from posterboard, as well. When the guests arrive, let them color their own party hat. Mount Blue on your wall and place a piece of tape on the back of each child’s party hat. Before each child takes a turn, have them close their eyes, then spin them around, and point them toward Blue. The child who sticks their party hat closest to Blue’s head is the winner! You may want to play this game several times to give the kids more chances to win.

Pin the Flag on the Mailbox

Cut out a mailbox from construction paper. Cut out enough flags for each child.
Blindfold each child and see who can come the closest to putting the flag on the mailbox.

Blue Magic

This is an activity that everyone will enjoy. Let each child make their own "magic". This activity would be best outside or in the kitchen.

You Will Need:

• Blue food coloring
• Cornstarch
• Sealable Sandwich Bags

Directions:

Pour 1 cup cornstarch into the sandwich bag. Add blue food coloring to 1/4 cup of water.
Slowly add 1/4 cup of water mixed to the cornstarch. Carefully press the excess air out of the sandwich bag and seal it shut. Instruct each child to gently knead the sandwich bag until the mixture is well blended and smooth, but not to puncture the bag. The children will be amazed as they watch the mixture turn from dry to wet and slowly turn blue.

Blue's Bubble Pictures

Supplies:

Tablet of Drawing Paper
Blue Food Coloring
Bubbles

Directions:

This activity needs to be done out doors. Add the blue food coloring to the bubble mixture. Have a sheet of white drawing paper for each child. Have one or more adults blow bubbles and instruct each child to try to catch them on their sheet of paper. As the bubbles pop they make a design on the paper. See who can come close to making a paw print or how many paw prints they can make.

Hint: You can make your own bubble liquid by mixing 1/2 Cup Dawn dishwashing liquid, 5 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of glycerin (available at drug stores). Stir (donÕt shake) the ingredients until thoroughly mixed.
