Crafts & Activities

Theme related children's crafts and activities for children's birthday parties.

Rattlesnake Ruckus
Place some dried beans into a small plastic bottle (such as a film canister). Place the bottle inside a sock. Stuff the sock with newspapers and tie off the end. Seat your guests in a circle and toss the rattlesnake around the circle to music (like hot potato game). When music stops the one bitten (has the rattlesnake) by the rattlesnake is out of the game. Continue until one person is left.

Round Up the Herd
For this game you will need two brooms, a long string to mark your course, rope, and six balloons (and a few extra in case any pop). Rope off an area in your yard or home to make a "corral." Inside it, make an obstacle course using boxes, chairs, bushes, trees, or other inanimate objects. Mark the path of your obstacle course with string. Divide your party guests into two teams and line up both teams at the starting line. Give the first person in each line a broom and 3 balloons. (Be sure to use different colored balloons for each team). Each player must use the broom to herd their wild ponies (balloons) through the course inside the corral. To complete their turn, each guest must herd their balloons through the entire course before passing the broom and balloons to the next player. If a balloon pops during a player’s turn, they must take a new balloon to the starting line. The first team to finish the course, wins!

Sharpshooting Contest
For this activity, you will need a squirt-gun for each guest and several lightweight plastic bottles. Set the bottles up along a fence, ledge or picnic table so that each guest has one bottle directly in front of him or her. Have a contest to see who can knock over their bottle first! For older children, divide your guests into teams. Set up three bottles for each team, and have a race. When the first player on each team knocks over all three bottles, he or she must set them up quickly for the next player, and so on, until each team member has knocked down the bottles using their squirt-gun. The first team to finish wins!

Lasso Contest
For this activity, you can use the same objects and the "corral" from the first activity. Simply tie a rope into a large circle and let each party guest take a turn trying to toss it around a sawhorse, chair, etc. For added fun, place a cowboy hat on the guest’s head when it is their turn to lasso, and make them feel like a real cowpoke!

Storytime
Seat your guests in a circle and exchange stories about the Wild West! This is a great activity if your party is in the evening. If you can’t gather around a real campfire, seat your guests in circle and dim the lights to set the mood. If you’d prefer, rent a video with a Wild West theme. This is a great activity to keep the kids entertained until parents come to pick them up.

Pinatas

Tasty Treats And Menu Ideas

Saddlebag Surprises
After a long, hot day on the ranch, satisfy your cowgirls and boys with these hearty pocket meals! Before the party, brown 1/2 lb. lean ground beef and 1/4 chopped onion in a frying pan. Drain grease and cool. Stir in a 12-oz. jar of pizza sauce, 2 Tbs. chopped olives, 1 tsp. dried, crushed basil, and 1/2 tsp. dried, crushed oregano. Slice 4 French rolls in half lengthwise. Hollow out the insides within 1/2 in. of the edges. Sprinkle grated cheese in the bottom, spoon meat mixture over it, and sprinkle more cheese on top. Place the tops of the rolls back on, wrap each in foil, and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Serves 4.

Campfire S’mores
If you can’t have a real campfire to roast marshmallows, you can easily make these old favorites in your microwave. Simply place two squares of chocolate on half of a graham cracker. Heat in the microwave until the chocolate is shiny. Let each guest add marshmallows and put the other half of the graham cracker on top. Remind everyone that the chocolate is HOT so that no one burns themselves. Graham cracker halves and chocolate can also be placed in the oven under the broiler. Be sure to keep an eye out so that the chocolate doesn’t burn!

Beans and Dogs
Set the mood and serve pork and beans on tin plates. Seat your guests in a circle, as if they are eating around a campfire!

Cactus Juice
Pour lemon-lime soda into a large punch bowl. Just before serving, add scoops of lime sherbet and watch the punch bubble into green cactus juice! For a cooler drink, add drops of green food color into ice cube trays filled with water, freeze, and drop the cubes into the punch bowl.

Trail Mix
Set out a healthy trail treat for your guests to munch on while everyone arrives, during games, etc. To make your own trail mix, combine your child’s favorite ingredients, such as raisins, chocolate pieces, pretzels, cereal, or nuts. Provide a mix without nuts if one of your guests is allergic to them.

Sufferin’ Sarsaparilla
Your guests will be sufferin’ to get their hands on this quick and easy sarsaparilla soda. Before the party, fill several ice trays with water, place a cherry into each compartment and freeze. Pour 1 Tbs. of grenadine syrup into each glass. Drop a frozen cherry ice cube into each glass. Pour cream soda over the ice, and watch a pink, foamy drink appear!

Pigs in a Blanket
Your guests are sure to squeal over these delectable delights. Purchase your favorite brand of hot dogs, cheese, and refrigerator croissants. Slice hot dogs lengthwise and cut cheese into strips. Unroll croissants and stuff them with hot dogs and cheese. Roll croissants back up and bake as directed, or until golden brown.

These delicious treats are so good, your party guests will clean every last crumb from their plates. Don't be surprised if they make pigs of themselves and come back for more!
