Answer 1

This is what I was going to do for my daughter this year before we decided to go out of town for her birthday. We were going to have a Little Einstein's party. I was going to have little centers throughout the house all related to a character on the show, "Qunicy's Orchestra" where the kids can play with musical instruments, "Annie's Karaoke" and have our little tape player set up with a microphone for the kids to sing along to songs, "June's Dance Studio" and let the kids pull stuff from my daughter's dress up trunk and dance to music, and then "Pen the Baton on Leo" which I was going to make a big poster of Leo and give the kids paper batons to tape onto Leo's hand, blindfolded of course. I also thought about having an art station and make paper plate shakers, let the kids color the plates, pour some dried rice on the plate and then staple them together. I was going to decorate the house with music stuff, construction paper music notes, old sheet music, musical terms printed out in bright colors. Then for party favors I saw plastic recorders at Walmart for less than a dollar and thought I would just tie a balloon to it and call it a day. Depending on what you already have at your house, it wouldn't cost an arm and a leg to do something like that. All I was going to spend money on was the actual party supplies, a cake, the favors, then mostly just paper for all the decorations I was going to make at home. Hope that gives you an idea, have fun!

Have a Diego (Dora's cousin) Rainforest party. Make vines out of brown paper bags (cut into strips and twist, like your wringing water out). Use constuction paper to make huge leaves. Tape pipe cleaner to each leaf for a stem. Hang the vines and attach the leaves. Add whatever you have at home that could add to the rainforest: stuffed snakes and other animals, plastic vines or flowers.
For a game, get a package of little frogs and hide them aroud the house. The kids will have to look for (rescue) them. If you have time, make rescue center badges that the kids can wear.

They now make Diego party plates and accesories. Get cake plates and gift bags. For the rest, get whatever is on clearance sale, that matches.

My sion turned 3 on the 21st of this month. We had a train theme birthday party. I cut trains out of primary color construction paper and took black paint and painted the wheels and the window on it. I took popscile sticks and made railroad crossing signs and biought some little tiny pails at the craft section in walmart and some black stones to be coals to hold the crossing signs up.
Use your imagination. I didnt spend much at all on this party/ Good luck!

For our 3 years old we're planning to do a birthday Jam and make homemade instruments with paper towel tubes, milk gallons, beans, etc and then decorate. Then send favors of homemade cd's home with songs like Wully Bully, Crocodile Rock, etc regular rock songs, but with fun themes.
