All kids have a favorite teddy bear, so why not include their beary friends in their party fun? Invite kids to bring their favorite teddy bear to the party.
| | | Party Craft : When the kids arrive to the party, ask them to decorate a name tag for the teddy bear with the child's name written on the teddy bear name tag. Punch two holes into the name tag and tie a piece of yarn or string through both holes making a necklace for the teddy bear.
| | | Party Activity : Sit each child in a circle holding their own teddy bear. Start music and ask the kids to pass the bears around. The child not holding a teddy bear when the music stops must sit out of the game. Repeat the process until you have a winner. The name tags on the bears will help to reunite the teddy bears with their child owners.

Most kids love to fish, so why not design a kid party around the love for these water creatures? This idea also helps teach the children about the names and appearance of different fish.
| | | Party Craft : When the kids arrive to the party, give the children the picture of a type of fish and then ask them to decorate a card board cutout of a fish and then write the child's name of the fish type on the fish. Attach a large paper clip to each fish. After the kids finish decorating the fish, retrieve the fish and record which child had each fish type.
| | | Party Activity : Put all of the fish into a fake pond created by decorating the bottom half of a cereal box. Line the children up to fish one of the fish out using a string attached to a stick and a magnet at each end, making a fishing pole. The last fish to be fished out wins. Go back into your records and determine who owns the fish. Don't tell the children how to win the game.
