Carnival Party - Help!!!

[kscwgirl]

Okay.. J is having a carnival party on Saturday. I've got the games and the food, I think.... we're planning on ring toss, milk bottle toss, duck pond and fishing. Food i'm thinking corn dogs, cotton candy, pretzels and popcorn.

Any other easy ideas??

Also I need to come up with decorations. I have plenty of kits, just not sure what to make.

They are all 6 or 7 years old.

Any ideas?

Pinterest. Seriously, there's a ton of ideas there.

That sounds like a fun party.

And I agree with Jacinda, definitely check Pinterest.

I tried but I'm having a hard time sorting through everything, so I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone had done one before LOL

do you have the clothes pins in the milk bottle game - that one is great! I also remember pushing a potato with a yardstick from birthday parties when I was little... or a relay race of pinning wash clothes on a clothes line - that one is hilarious, especially with boys because they don't have a clue how to hang clothes... haha

Here is my pinterest board for birthdays (http://pinterest.com/mamabee/products-i-love2/)... it's pretty much anything that trips my fancy... :)

We went to one not too long ago. Here's a couple things they did that you didn't mention.

-She had pickles on a stick as another food item.
-They had a ticket booth where they got tickets and then had to spend them on the games (although it was an unlimited amount)
-They had a colorful backdrop and white frame to hold up with funny animal hats and clown glasses, bowties and noses for photo ops.
