What is the biggest mistake parents make in kids birthday party planning?
LT: Inviting too many kids. It’s really not necessary to invite the entire first-grade to a birthday party. Also, planning something too complicated, or not planning enough to do. There’s a happy medium that works perfectly. LTK: What is the most important aspect of party planning? LT: Staying flexible if things don’t go according to plan.

It provides an activity and then doubles as a really great take-home party favor. It also adds an extra dimension to your party theme if you choose the craft carefully. Just add some balloons, games that don’t require things that you don’t already have around the house, and cupcakes made from a mix.
