Last time we talked about some cute snacks and simple decor items for a birthday party that might go along with a trip to the movie theater to watch &#8220;The Bee Movie&#8221;.  Today we&#8217;ll follow up with a few games and crafts that you can add in if you have time.</p>
<p>But first, I found this really cool site that has pinatas for every imaginable party theme, including a great one for the Bee Movie.  Although I personally would prefer just a plain old bee pinata if I was having this type of party, I thought this one was pretty cute:<br />
<a href="http://www.worldofpinatas.com/servlet/the-289/Bee-Movie-Pinata/Detail" target="_blank"><img src="http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w196/annetteyen/beepinata.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />
(Photo courtesy of www.worldofpinatas.com)</p>
<p>Ok, so back on to game ideas.  Let&#8217;s start with the old standbys:<br />
1.  Honey, Honey, BEE!  Little kids love the game of Duck Duck Goose so jump on that and just change the words around a little bit.  Voila &#8211; instant fun!<br />
2.  Pin the bee on the hive.  I love this idea and I wish I could give credit for it to whoever first thought of it.  Take a brown paper grocery bag and fill it up with crumpled up newspaper and tie at the top to resemble a &#8220;hive&#8221;.  Draw an opening to resemble the &#8220;front door&#8221; of the hive.   Make bees out of yellow and black construction paper and stick a piece of double sided tape on the back.  Have the kids try to get their bee closest to the door.<br />
3.  Line up 5 &#8220;honey buckets&#8221; in a row.  Make small bee beanbags out of yellow material and have the kids toss the bees into the honey buckets for prizes.</p>
<p>Crafts:<br />
1. Finger Bees &#8211; give each child a piece of cardstock and make fingerprints with a yellow stamp pad.  Once the ink is dry, they can draw on stripes, wings and antenna.  They can add sticker flowers or other items to their creation too.<br />
2.  Antenna &#8211; get black headbands, yellow pipe cleaners and black pom poms.  Attach the pipe cleaners to the headband and top each pipe cleaner with a black pom pom.  Instant antenna!<br />
3. Bee egg &#8211; I absolutely LOVE the look of <a href="http://jas.familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts?page=CraftDisplay&amp;craftid=10175">THIS CRAFT</a> over at one of my favorite sites &#8211; Family Fun.  They&#8217;ve got complete instructions there and although I know the egg blowing gets a bit messy, this looks like a super fun craft or an older group of kids.  <a href="http://jas.familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts?page=CraftDisplay&amp;craftid=10175">Visit the site here to learn more.</a></p>
<p>For a limited time you can get these adorable Make Your Own Stuffed Animal Bumble Bears!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve noticed a trend in the kids birthday party business &#8211; having the party theme go along with a current movie or TV show.  There are some cute movies out there and I&#8217;ve heard that the Bee Movie is adorable so I thought I&#8217;d share a couple of posts on fun things you can do at home after you take the birthday child and her guests out to watch the movie.</p>
<p>First let&#8217;s talk Snacks:<br />
Remember the Twinkie?  You can make those little cakes into bees pretty easily.  Use chocolate chips for the eyes, a Hershey&#8217;s chocolate kiss for the stinger on the back and some licorice laces for the stripes.  Add wings if you want with half slices of lemons and voila &#8211; a bee!</p>
<p>Bee Juice &#8211; mix up a batch of lemonade. Put 3-5 blackberries into the bottom of a clear cup and pour the ice cold lemonade over the top!</p>
<p>Fruit with honey dip &#8211; of course!</p>
<p>My kids also love those honey sticks that you can find in the grocery aisle now &#8211; individual sticks that you bite open the top and squeeze or suck out the honey.  Yum!</p>
<p>Serve your snacks and cake on official Bee Movie plates and partyware. You can find those when you <a href="http://princess.makesparties.com/Search.aspx?free_text=bee">CLICK HERE.</a></p>
<p>Decorations can be as simple as black and yellow balloons all over the place, but here&#8217;s a cute Bee Movie banner that says &#8220;Happy Bee Day&#8221;.  Cute!<br />
<a href="http://princess.makesparties.com/Catalog.aspx?intDisplayableProductID=76115&amp;intDisplayableCategoryID=2067" target="_blank"><img src="http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w196/annetteyen/beemoviebanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></p>
<p>Go with anything yellow and black and it&#8217;ll fit the theme.  Incorporate a few teddy bears into the mix as well because we all know bears love honey &#8211; and honey means BEES! <img src='http://s2.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Most of all, just have fun with it &#8211; Movie themed parties are easy and fun and kids love them! Plus a big chunk of the birthday party is taken up just watching the movie!  Whoo hoo!</p>
<p>Have you ever done a movie themed birthday party?  If so, what movie and how did you incorporate other things like games, crafts and such into the theme? I&#8217;d love to hear about it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I found something very interesting on the internet and wanted to pass it along.  As you&#8217;ve read in past posts there seems to be a trend in &#8220;giving&#8221; rather than &#8220;getting&#8221; gifts when it&#8217;s your birthday and there are a couple of moms who got together and created an organization to make it easy for you to do that.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how it works.  You register your birthday party online with their service and choose and online e-invitation for the party.  You then enter the names of the &#8220;guests&#8221; you want to invite to the party and they receive the e-vite with an option to RSVP by giving a donation of any amount.  On the party day, you choose one of the charities to give the total amount to in your birthday child&#8217;s name and then print out a reward certificate for your child as a reminder of the good they&#8217;ve done.  Cute idea!</p>
<p>And apparently it&#8217;s pretty popular too.  I like the idea of discussing the various charity options with your birthday child and helping them to see how charities work and how doing this will really help someone.  After you&#8217;ve discussed the options, let your child choose which one will get the donations and then do some more research into that specific organization so he/she can really be involved in what is happening there and understand the impact that the donation can have.</p>
<p>I can see where still having an actual face to face party would be a great way to further the learning and helping &#8211; still have cake and ice cream and some games but then have a time to talk about where the money is going and how each of the kids helped to make that happen.  Maybe even have one of the crafts be a community card that all the kids work on together.</p>
<p>What do you all think?  How do you think your kids would react to something like this?</p>
