My daughter had so much fun at her eleventh birthday party, Practical Giggles. It made a great slumber party, with plenty to keep them busy. I liked how well organized the kit was. It only took us 30 minutes to get ready. - Diana
My daughter had so much fun at her eleventh birthday party, Practical Giggles. It made a great slumber party, with plenty to keep them busy. I liked how well organized the kit was. It only took us 30 minutes to get ready. - Diana . I was really pleased with SimpliFun's Practical Giggles party! It was soooo simple to use and yet it was creative and hit the spot for the wide age range of children I was entertaining. - Sandi .
The party went over very well, The feed rex game and the egg game was a hit. I ended up making my own dino cake using your little animals as decorations. Could'nt find anyplace to purchase dry ice. Over all the party was a success. The kids enjoyed coloring on the masks, then running around pretending they were dinosaurs. -Paul .
The dino party was great! Everyone was quite impressed and I had fun. Though it was a little stressful, being my first 4 year-old party. One mom, who is a Girl Scout leader even took a copy of the games so that she could do some with her troup. The kids really loved the masks, but I think one of my favorite was the handful of artists poster. I would definitely think about adding something similar to all themes, as what kid doesn't love to smear their hand with paint and leave hand prints? -Darcy.
Thank you so much for the Invitational Artists Faire Party Kit. Just wanted to let you know that the party was a huge success. The kids could not get over how many activities there were. As a matter of fact, we did not even have time to play all the games. It was great. I will certainly recommend your party activities to other friends. -Marcia S.
Hi, Last night we celebrated my daughter's ninth birthday. We used the "Ghost of Marnie" party and it was a blast. The guests were extremely excited about the party as soon as they received their invitations; it was the "talk" of the third grade. The girls arrived with great anticipation, got into character immediately and proceeded to have a wonderful evening. Several of them went home asking their mothers to be "Aunt Mattie" and to have a ghost party. Thank you for the creative ideas........now I will start looking for a party for my soon to be seven year old's party. -Georgia
The Ghost of Marnie Andersen skit was for my daughter’s 12th birthday party. The party was a great success. The kids really got into their characters. I provided the costumes and jewelry. We were unable to have the skit as a sleepover, so we watched the Haunted Mansion movie by Disney as "sleeping" instead. The croquette game became an attraction for the neighborhood - the kids playing in their formal dresses with high heel shoes. -Lori
