Go Down On The Farm For Your Next Birthday Party

Make your own barnyard or farm animal party decorations. All you need is a little poster board, construction paper, cardstock, or balloons.

Here are a couple farm animal party decorating ideas to get you started:

♥ Make a barn out of cardboard boxes, and let the kids decorate it at the party.

♥ Make cardboard stand up farm animals to put around the party area.

♥ Use bales of hay or straw if you can have the party outside, or in a garage or barn.

♥ Make a scarecrow

♥ Hang straw hats, and farm hats around the room.

Looking for game ideas for your farm party?

♥ Have a barnyard scavenger hunt. Make a list of farm or animal related items for the children to find. Hide the items in a specific area and have the children find them and mark them off the list.

♥ Pin the tail on the pig, cow, or horse, or pin the wheel on the tractor. Make your own animal and tail out of poster board. Don't forget the blind fold!

♥ Have a scarecrow decorating contest. Have supplies out to let the children divide into teams and build their own scarecrows. Lay out a frame, some straw, old clothing and hats, markers, and whatever else you think would be fun for the children to use to make their scarecrow.

♥ Have a barn raising contest. Collect some large boxes ahead of time, and let the children decorate them like barns in teams.
