Answer 1

yeah thats good, i think that Build-a-bear is a good place to have a kids party.

Answer 2

I was thinking Build-A-Bear too!

Other places you can go too are:

Miniature golf

Go karts

The zoo

movies and lunch

Ice cream parlor

If you have a gym place that has activities

Roller skating

There are pizza places you can go to and make your own pizzas and then sit down and eat them.  Call your local pizzerias or like Pizzeria Uno.  Your local one may do more showing them how to knead and toss the dough, but call around and see what's around if it's something they would like to do.

You can take them to a salon to get little manicures and make-overs, not big make-up and things, but they do things for that age group and the girls would LOVE it!  Call your local salons and ask if and when they do the parties.  Some do them on Sundays when the salon is closed etc.

You can go to an ice cream parlor, Friendly's, etc.

Picnic in the park. You can pack up some of her favorite foods and games and go to a park and have a party there if your local park allows.  

Amusement park or waterpark

OR

You can do the party at home and take advantage of the nice weather.  Before you completely close off the idea, here are some ideas:  LOL

Have relay races, do potato sack races (use old pillow cases), three legged races, wheel barrel races, etc.

Set up a volleyball net and let them play volleyball (with an inflatable beach ball) and badmitten.

Get an inflatable kiddie pool and fill it with water, break them into 2 teams and have a tug of war, the losing team ends up in the pool!  Then they can all go in later!

Set up an ice cream bar.  Get chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream and some toppings. Sprinkles, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and marachino cherries and have them make their own sundaes. You can get waffle cone bowls at the grocery store, OR make them ice cream cones!

You can get a pinata and in the same aisle at the party store is what's called pinata filler which are big bags of candy.  Just make sure to write each child's name on the bag so there are NO fights over whose bag of candy is whose at the end of party!  It can and will happen if there are no names on the bags!  You can get the pull string pinatas if you don't want them with the regular ones!

For other games, there's one where they stand in a circle and they toss a ball around, it doesn't matter what order, but if someone drops it, they're out.  The object is to keep the ball in the air.  The last person standing and NOT to drop the ball wins!

Another game, they stand in a circle with their hands at their side or behind their backs, and canNOT use them and they pass the ball around the circle using ONLY their chins!  They pass and take the ball with their CHINS ONLY!  If they drop it, they're out, this game is hysterical to watch too!  Whoever is the last standing wins!

Just make sure with this age group that you have prizes for everyone and that at the end of the party everyone has gotten at least one prize and you tell them this at the start of the game, otherwise you're going to have kids getting upset when they lose.  Just keep reassuring them that you have games and that everyone will leave with a prize NO matter what!  So make sure to have extras and that every child gets a prize!

They can also play Twister and charades and any board games that they like.

For food, do whatever your sister's favorites are.  Being it's her birthday and her party she should have the food that she loves and that's her favorite.  If it's pizza, send out for that, if it's tacos, do a taco bar, if it's bbq, do burgers and hot dogs, but make sure that the food is what she loves! Same with the chips and snacks too.

I hope some of these ideas help and that your sister has a great party and a very Happy Birthday!

chuckecheese!!

Answer 4

Yes ... Build-a-Bear is good for that age.  They have a couple of bears that are around $10 per person (the girls can pick the tee-shirt), and then the girls can buy whatever other they want on their own ......  There are some ceramics shops that let people paint and fire their own things too.....
