Thought of kids club at uci £1.95 a child, plus give them a goody bag, drink,popcorn etc?[/QUOTE]


Check that theres not a mimumne number of people, at my local you have to have at least 15 children. But otherwise I think that this is a good idea, no mess, sombody else deals with the children, they all feel like they've had a good party and your son becomes very cool at school.
You could take them to the local pizza hut after and have a kids meal (small pizza and drink, ice cream 80p more) for just under £4 and they get a goddie bag in there too.

Anyway, good luck with what ever you do

Think we are going to the cinema, there is a pizza hut next door and I saw the kids party thing at £3.99 a head, but he does not like pizza or pasta or even chips!!

So thought I would just make them up a lunch bag with a drink,sandwich,crisps etc for them to eat while they watch.

So it will be £1.95 a head plus the cot of the bag, which seems a lot better than £6 or £7 a head, also better if it`s hot and something differant.

Yummy sounds much better, maybe you could get some cheap games/little cars/finger monsters from wollies (99p for 6)to go in the bags. Wish my mummy was like you :T

PLEASE HELP my 4yr old son is adamant that he wants a dinosaur birthday party this year and i wondered if anyone could suggest some suitable party games, diy decorations etc for this occasion. i know i could go to a fancy party site on the internet to buy cups / plates etc but i am on a tight budget. any suggestions greatfully received

Abit crass I know but what about pin the tail on the dinosaur?

Plain plates, cups etc, 4 year olds dont really care about the fills at that age (watch out for the parents tho)
Depends on how many are coming (say 10 including your son) you could split into 2 teams with one or two adults and with some bin bags, different colour carryer bags, loo roll, tape and carboard rolls, see who can make the best dino/ who can turn the child into the best dino.
Dino egg hunt
Dino trival (might be a bit hard since they are 4 tho)
Photocopy some simple dino pictures from a childs book and let them colour them in.
Dino musical chairs - get a dino effect CD from out the libary (or download the sounds a burn your own), set the chairs up and tell them they have to be dinosaurs as they go round.
Act like a dino - everyone must act like a dino when its name is called, the best one gets a small prize (like a sweet) but you must remember to make sure everyone gets a sweet :eek:

Woolies had dino pinatas (sp?) which might be comedic in the garden!
