Tell us about the theme of your party and how you made it fabulous:
We had a Cars party for my four year old. The highlight of the party was the cars we made out of cardboard boxes. We painted them various colors including one red lightening McQueen car and one Black and white police car. When the kids came to the party we had them choose a car and then decorate it with stickers. They had so much fun zooming around in their cars that we barely needed games. We did make time for 'Red Light Green Light' and made up a game of 'Police Tag'-- The child with the black and white car chased the other cars and tagged them with sticky post it notes. When a car had three tags, they were the policeman. It was really a fun party.
List of Materials (craft) / Ingredients (cakes or cupcakes):
One card board box per car. Various color craft paints. Black dessert plates for wheels. Plastic twine. Stickers.
Instructions for making your party craft or birthday treat:
Paint cardboard boxes various colors. cut hole in the top of the box for child to fit in. Poke holes for twine so that string goes over child's shoulder. Print out headlight stickers that look like eyes. Use black dessert plates for wheels. For more detail print out 'mag stickers'. Obtain various car stickers from auto body shops and have these available for kids to decorate their cars. Also have markers or crayons available for free decoration.
Contest Photo Tips and Guidelines:
- Avoid clutter. Keep the background simple -- your gingerbread house or holiday cookie is the star!
- Daytime, natural light is best. If your area is bright enough, try taking the photo without the flash.
- Upload a horizontal photo. If you crop the image on your computer, make sure you keep a landscape 4:3 aspect ratio.
- For best results, make your image 1200x900 (or "save for web").
- With a digital camera, you can take as many photos as possible and choose the best one. Have fun!
