Thanks girls - these are great! Special thanks to TMS for the photos.
So I think we'll go with:
- Come dressed as a jungle animal or an explorer.
- I love the idea of a tent - we'll set one up in the front yard (a la safari style).
- Cut out animals hanging amongst the crepe (DD has already started drawing some and I think this is a nice touch).
- The jungle fever cake is perfect - it's exactly what DD asked for!! (is there any way I could pass on my email address and you could scan this one in and send it to me? Pretty please?)
- Animal print napkins, etc, are probably available from the Top Dollar store that has a stack of party things.
- Party bags with a picture/sticker (+ the cups, I like that one), we did this last year for the butterfly party, so that's a good one.
- Jungle themed face painting (the kits are cheap and I generally just leave them for a parent volunteer to do the kids).
- Animal masks are a good idea. I might leave some around the table for the kids to use if they wish. DD will happily paint paper plates and they only need to be cut with some eyes glued on to give kids the idea. Could even leave the glueing on for the kids.
Any other games ideas girls? I'm thinking a treasure hunt, only called 'Going on safari', where they have to find things hidden in our (very aptly jungle-like) front garden. I'm not sure there'll be enough volunteers to get up in front of anyone for the animal noises, Nic. Most of the kids only met at school in the last couple of weeks. Although we could alter 'Musical statues' to be making animal sounds and moving like an animal until the music stops.
I must go through my music files to pull out any slightly jungle-related.
