Turn any BOOK into a party
Youngsters in Wonderland
"Alice" is never out of date, so an afternoon in "Wonderland" is delightful kind of party.
- Send out invitations in looking-glass writing (backwards)
- Cover a cardboard barrel with grass cloth and place in doorway (fill the space above with crepe paper streamers) Children crawl through the "RABBIT HOLE"
- Make cardboard cutouts to resemble characters of the book such as the Queen.
- Cover furniture with sheets.
- Add Christmas tree lights to add an eerie glow
- For games: take a cue from the book. Re- read the story if you need to
- Try checkerboard hopscotch where a person who wins loses.
- Make padded croquet mallets made of wire hangers and used like pickup sticks
Decorate your table like the Mad Hatters tea party, with paper pinafores for the girls and Mad Hatter cardboard hats for the boys.
Watch for more party ideas on Thursdays.
