Is it time to plan your kid's birthday party again? Every year around that time you're wondering - has it been a year already? What are we going to do THIS year? I don't think I want 20 kids at my house again... so, what other options do we have?If you're that mom (or dad), here are some suggestions:
Build-A-Bear Workshop ® For the kids who love Teddy Bears - this is the ultimate Teddy Bear birthday party. Kids get to choose a Teddy Bear (or any other animal within the price range selected) and give it a personality by stuffing it, fluffing it, giving it a voice, dressing it up, accessorizing it, and giving it a name. There is also a "Heart Ceremony" where each kid gets to choose a "heart" and make a wish, before placing it inside his animal. Each kid gets a "Birth Certificate" with his Teddy Bear's name, and a little cardboard house to take the Teddy Bear home as a goodie bag. Teddy bears, voices, clothes and accessories all vary in prices. You can designate a price range (starting at $10) for each one of the categories that suits your budget. Parties are for 6 kids or more and include a "party leader" who manages the party process and entertains the kids.
