[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Backyard carnival for 4 year old.  Big moon bounce, face painting, balloon artist, make your own crowns as the craft project, and tons of food for little and big people.  Random balls and swing set action, too.  Kids were free to do whatever activity they wanted when they wanted as long as they stayed in the fence![/quote]

We did a version of this for my daughter when she turned 4.  We wanted to invite everyone in her preschool class, so we held it outside.  I rented a bouncy house.  I set up activity stations outside using what we had, things like saved TP roles, inexpensive paints, tape, glue, and stuff from Oriental Trading.  It was a superhero party, so kids got (inexpensive) capes ordered off etsy.  One corner had a bench and all our superhero comic books and action figures: aka "the library."  I made simple wraps and some cupcakes-in-a-cone.  Beer and wine for the grownups.  The whole thing cost around $300.  Bouncy houses are less expensive than renting a venue--who knew?  The biggest cost to me: time.  It took forever to put this thing together.

Next year: we're doing something with hoses and sprinklers.  Like to keep the parties at home for as long as possible. :)[/quote]
