Every little boy loves tractors! There is something about the big green machines. So for this birthday Go Green! Invitations: Use a template from a single tractor with green construction paper and outlining with a black marker. yellow on a separate sheet of paper, write the title "Our little Deere __ __ rotates, so visit us for some good old farm fun!" Plain white invitations can be made quite festive with the John Deere clip art or stickers. A picture of your child on aTractor would also be a wonderful invite and can be easily copied and cheaply with a color printer or at your local photo center.
The Venue: How about a trip? You can find a petting zoo, a pumpkin patch, pony rides a center or a local farm. Your always one step ahead if you already live on a farm! An old-fashioned family campfire is a wonderful fall for this type of event. Do not worry, even if your an Indian city, you can change easily at home or in the backyardin a "farm" worthy of a John Deere Birthday Party! Decorations: Green & Yellow of course! Range of John Deere licensed goods can be local party of the middle a broad purchased through my website or yours. Throw in a farmhouse feel with hay bails, saddles, scarecrows, hay, cowboy hats and animals. Ask the children in their finest denim farm clothes come, but offer them a straw hat and scarf when they arrive.
Activities: You can not have a JohnDeere Party without a tractor! So, if you do not have a real for tractor rides, turn a regular old car in a large cardboard box with 2 pieces, the tractor-template, green paint and a little imagination! The little ones love their imaginary tractor rides. If your party is indoors or for some additional decoration, with a bunch of farm animals to color. Cover an entire wall with butcher paper or large white paper roll. Make a farm scene by painting on some grass, a fenceand blue sky. Let the children color the pictures and then cut and paste the pictures on the wall. Or even have the kids color on the paper right wall. The kids have a blast decorating the life-sized farm scene.
Games: Needle in a Haystack - Hide objects in a loose pile of hay. Needles for older party guests and small toys for younger. Do they wear gloves for safety. If you do not get your hands on some hay you can use several bags of raffia or driedGrass cut. Whether young or old, everyone loves playing Horse Shoes - the younger the child, the closer the shot line. Do I Moo? - Attach an animal sticker or picture to each child's back. Each player must determine what kind of animals are answering the question "Yes" or "no". For example, Can I fly? "" Am I pink? ", Etc.. Catch a Pig - Grease up 1 pink balloon with baby oil for each player and the whole pile about 20 feet from where the children are to commence. On "GO" they have run andtry to catch a pig and put it back in his pen. The pen can be any box or container. It's funny and not so easy! Have an area where your cowboy skills by roping some cattle can set practice. A simple rope works like a lasso and a sawhorse from Dad's Garage works great as a large animal target. Chicken Egg Hunt - Reuse your plastic Easter eggs by filling them with some nice toys, jewelry or candy and hiding them in the party yard or party room. Herding Cattle -Color some black spots on a white cow balloons.
With a broom, the object, to swat at 8-10 balloons from one side of the room another. With a stopwatch to see who can most quickly herd of cows. Hoe Down - play some Country Music and form a square dance line or a line that dance class! Menu: A good old, down home barbecue of hamburgers, hot dogs, chili, potato salad, watermelon and corn on the cob. Serve the snacks and salads made from galvanized mini buckets and fills a wheelbarrowwith ice to keep your drinks cold in. Have a lot of wood picnic tables on hand for seating. The cake can be any shape and size, but must have bright John Deere green colored frosting. Using a set decopac or simply use your childs favorite toy tractor for the center of the cake. Be sure to sit on the tractor ontop of a mud or soil pile! A sludge-to-surface stack is by crumbling some dark cookies. Corral the tractor and hill with a pretzel stick fence.
Loot Bags: All children love to - aCowboy hat, a scarf and a pair of work gloves, children would be the perfect gift idea to take home will be. You can also John Deere stickers, toy tractors, launchers & Pins for Plastic lootbags. Plastic farm animals and candy eggs would be a great addition! All farms have gardens so why not give each guest a small pot and have a couple of easy growing seeds like bean, radish or sunflower oil, and they "sow their seeds." They can use their plants at home and watch it grow.
