St. Patrick's Day Treasure Hunt
Clues
 Do you want your kids to find their own pot of
gold at the end of the rainbow this St. Patrick's Day?
Send them on a treasure hunt looking for all of those
things that are truly Irish:
Blarney Stone: Kiss me
and maybe you'll be as lucky as we!
Shamrock: Small, lush,
four-leaf, and green, pick me and make a wish for your
favorite team.
Pot of Gold: If you
follow the rainbow, I'm what you'll find, making you
rich in mind.
Rainbow: In the midst
of light rain, with sun shining through, I'll make
beautiful colors true.

Windy
March
At least in the
northern hemisphere, March marks the month when the
clocks move forward, buds begin to appear on the trees,
and the days are longer. At the same time, it is a
transitional month; on any given day you could have sun
and warmth, or snow and cold. Regardless of the
temperature, March is often full of windy days. If your
kid was born in March, perhaps you would like to have a
party focused on our friend the wind!
For
decorations, use any colors that you like. Blues, pearly
whites, and light greens are good wind and March colors
to use. You can purchase balloons, streamers, and
tableware in these colors. Place a bouquet of pinwheels
in the center of the table.

Fun With Shamrocks!
It is that time of year when shamrocks are all
the  rage. Whether you are wearing a shamrock pin,
wishing on a four-leaf clover, or spreading the luck of
the Irisharound to your family and friends, chances are
shamrocks are around. This month, kids will
enjoy making, baking, and creating shamrock
concoctions.
If
you are looking for a rainy day activity, or some fun
ways to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with shamrocks,

Kite Flying
Ideas
 Kite flying is often a fun activity for a summer
party. Some kids enjoy flying kites so much, they want
their birthday party to center around them!
If
you are planning a kite-flying party, you will most
likely host it at an outside venue, such as a park, with
enough room to fly the kites. In the case of
decorations, the kites will be the main ones. You can
also buy bright rolls of string to tie the kites to. The
kids can do this as an activity at the party before
spending the majority of the time flying their kites.
Let's hope you have good wind on that day,
too!
Have your birthday kid choose two to three
of his favorite colors, and purchase balloons in those
colors. Blow them up, bunch them in threes, and weigh
them down. The balloons will mark off the party area in
the park.!

Party theme:Party
Wacky Backwards (IDEAS)
 Kids who are a bit zany and within the age range
of 7 to 10 will love the idea of a Backwards Bash! This
is a really unique party that can be done on a small
budget. Even though it does not require a great deal of
money, it is likely to be a favorite as it is so wacky
and fun!
Although this party seems easy, it may
require more thought than the normal "forward" party
planning you would normally do. Don't be surprised if
you find you are thinking about this mixed-up theme a
lot. Still, here are some ideas to get you
started!
Send out thank you cards for the
invitations. Or, on a regular invitation, use mirror
image so the wording appears backwards. Ask everyone to
wear their clothes backwards and/or inside out.
Greet
everyone with, "Goodbye! Thanks very much!"
