Find Creative Indoor Activities at Your Party Supply Store

We had our first frost here at the corporate office. This is especially upsetting for your children who love to run around and play outside. Feeling crammed and eager to play outside, your children may turn to you and ask "What can I do inside?"

Like most parents, you may find it difficult to answer that question.  Of course, your kids could watch television, but you’d prefer your child to engage in a more productive activity. Drawing may come to mind, but eventually your children are sure to run out of ideas. Fortunately we have you covered. As your party supply store, we know how to make even the darkest days brighter.
Our party supply store has a variety of painting supplies, arts and crafts and other fun games for your child to enjoy. Hop online and purchase your indoor supplies today, so when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate, you will be prepared.
Here is a list of creative ideas for a day of fun indoors:
1.   Paper Bag Puppets: Using a paper bag along with markers, stickers, wiggly eyes, sequins, feathers and ribbons, your child can make a variety of puppets and put on a show.
2.   Collage: Using old magazines, your child can cut out interesting words, names or letters and glue them on paper. Be sure to keep a trash can handy.
3.   Popsicle House: Using a box of Popsicles and glue, your child can create a Popsicle house and other objects such as a jewelry holder.
4.   Ceramics: Purchase different ceramics, such as animals or vases for your child to paint.
5.   Design a T-Shirt: Purchase a t-shirt of your child's favorite color and select words or a phrase to be ironed onto the shirt.
6.   Bake Cookies: What child doesn't have a sweet tooth? Help you child roll balls of dough and after the cookies are baked, your child can add decorative icing.
7.   Board Games: The list of board games is endless. Choose a family friendly game and enjoy an afternoon full of fun.
8.   Card Games: You can play an easy game of war or play Rummy.  
9.   Magic Show: Purchase a magic show kit for your child and let your child practice their skills and put on a show.
10. What's Missing? Take an object out of the room and have your child try to guess what object is missing.

Of All The Halloween Party Supplies, A Costume Is The Most Important

Every child loves Halloween. With houses filled with spooky decorations and free candy received just for knocking on a door, what child wouldn’t? Of course, above all things, one question weighs on a child’s mind as soon as the weather grows colder, “What will I be for Halloween this year?”

While you pick up Halloween party supplies at the store, bring along your little bundle of joy and watch as their eyes light up at all the beauty of Halloween costumes. The only problem is getting a child to agree upon a single costume.

To speed up the Halloween costume shopping process, here are factors to take into consideration:

Theme: Ask your child if he or she has a certain theme in mind. Does your child want to dress scary or funny? What about dressing up as a cartoon character as opposed to a real life person, or dressing as an animal or an object? Also, ask your friends, family and neighbors what their kids are choosing to be this Halloween. It will help you make suggestions to your kids.

Comfort: Just like shopping for school clothes, you want to make sure your child fits in their costume. Also, comfort is important. Costumes aren’t always cheap, so you don’t want your child taking off their costume, because it’s itchy or too tight. In addition, any accessories, such as wigs, earrings or fangs may become a nuisance. Make sure they are comfortable to wear. Finally, make sure the costume is warm enough for a cold October night.

Budget: Your child may find a costume he or she likes, but it may be outrageously expensive. If this is the case, consider purchasing one piece of a costume and then designing the rest yourself. it can even be a fun project a parent and child can work on together.

Shop Early: You should begin your costume search ahead of time, in order to take advantage of the newest and coolest costumes available. Also, certain sizes may be out of stock if you wait too long and you want to make sure you have the proper accessories to match.  We provide Halloween party supplies early, so start your Halloween shopping today and avoid the headaches of last minute shopping.

A True Luau Deserves The Right Luau Party Supplies

The fall season is quickly approaching, giving reason to keep our thoughts in the sun.  Throwing a luau is one way to keep warmer sentiments abound.  Do you really need a reason to throw a party?  If so, then the approach of shorter days and lower temperatures is as good a reason as any.  Ask your sunny-minded friends over for a Hawaiian-themed party but don't forget to order your luau party supplies first!  Lucky for you, we have a large assortment of party supplies suitable for any party - but luaus are one of our specialties!

Skirts
It wouldn't be a true luau without these luau party supplies.  We offer an array of skirt and hula boy/girl costume options.  We have children's hula skirts, adult sea-shell bras, hula arm bands, and more.  It's one thing to have a party, but what better way to have more fun than to offer hula costume accessories to party goers!  We're glad we can help in making your luau more fun and authentic!



Lighting
You must set the right mood via a number of lighting purchases.  Our luau party supplies include hanging lanterns, centerpieces, and faux-flame lights.  It would be best to host your luau outdoors, emulating the settings found on the Big Island, yet if colder climates push the party indoors, you could "set the mood" using a number of lighting and décor options.

Leis
We have a number of leis included amongst our luau party supplies.  It wouldn't be Hawaiian if the party didn't include leis!  Those arriving in Hawaii are greeted by hula girls and boys, offering a smile and leis.  Emulate the warm reception found in Hawaii.  Give each partygoer a Hawaiian necklace upon their arrival to the luau.

Drinkware
USToy.com has you covered down to the smallest details of the party.  We offer a number of cups and tableware selections as luau party supplies.  We have palm-tree straws, cocktail parasols, toucan straws, plastic coconut cups, and a lot more.

There are plenty of reasons to throw a Hawaiian-styled party, but now you know where to find great deals on luau party supplies!  Do you have an idea for another kind of party?  We're the party supply store to address those needs too!
