Straws

We did the research! 

Parties with educational toys can be really creative for the kids. Give children toy puppets or toy pianos and have them put on skits or a musical talent show. Then, let the kids take home their toy as a party favor.

Straws are a must-have at any party and here are some ideas of how to make the most of it.

For one thing, like everything else in your party you want your straws to match your party theme. Now this might be as simple as just color coordinating it with the theme colors or you could go an extra mile and shop for some with a little more character. There are the twisting, swirly ones that give any drink a festive feel and I saw some interesting ones with paper flamingo’s on top. Shop around and you are sure to find something perfect for your party.

Since you are bound to have a lot of straws lying around at the party why not use them to play some games. One popular game in kids’ parties is to hand 2 bowls to each contestant. One empty and one filled with peas. Then with their hands behind the backs have them transfer them one by one by sucking them through the straw. The one with the most peas transferred at the end of the game wins.

A game that goes well with a party with lots of couples is to pair them up into teams and have them hold a straw in their mouths. Put a lifesaver into one of the team member’s straws. The object is to transfer the lifesaver to your partner’s straw without dropping it or touching it. The first couple to achieve this wins.

The list of things you can do with straws to enliven a party is endless. All you need to do is use a little ingenuity.
