				Ideas 1. Planning a Kids Party. A fun kids party should 
                usually last only two hours. Hereˇ¦s a sample schedule with a 
                start time of 1 p.m. 2. Have your Child Help With Planning a Kids 
				Party. It's always a good idea to have your child help as much 
				as possible with the planning and choosing of items for their 
				party. Hopefully, they will not change their minds after you 
				bought the items. The child learns how much work goes into 
				having a party. If you create a less stressful party, the actual 
				party will go on without a hitch. Also, if the child is going to 
				be involved in planning the party, they can be involved in 
				cleaning it up! Fair is fair.
 1 p.m. Kids begin arriving. Have kids begin playing icebreaker 
				games or begin crafts.
 1:20 Play 1st children's party game.
 1:40 Play a 2nd children's party game.
 2:00 Serve lunch if youˇ¦re serving or skip to cake and ice cream 
				as food for kids parties.
 2:30 Open gifts from kids parties.
 2:45 Favorite game and goodbyes.

				Children's Party Ideas*Keep your guest list no longer than your 
				child is old. Smaller is better and easier to manage.4. Choosing Kids Party Themes Don't even think of 
				choosing a kids party theme for your child ˇV unless they are 
				just too young. Cartoon characters and such are their lives. 
				They are the professionals. They know what they like. All you 
				need to do is figure out the details.
 *Make a schedule of kids birthday party activities to keep 
				something going all the time.
 
 *Parties should last only about 2 hours.
 
 *If you're planning outdoor activities, make sure you have some 
				indoor activities on reserve, just in case the weather decides 
				not to cooperate.
