Deciding On A Valentine's Party Idea That Won't Break Your Piggy
By Sally Brompton

Okay, so your kids are all excited about the great Valentine's Party at school, but the weather man says most likely school will be cancelled and you will be snowed in with a house full of kids that bumming over the loss of sugar, Valentines and games. Not to despair, you can throw a great Valentine's Day party with a few starter ideas and best yet, you don't have to rob your piggy bank.

Use What You've Got

Check your kitchen cabinets, if your have 15 boxes of cake mix or jell-O stored up in there, then drag them out, you've just planned your menu for your party. You can dress up jell-O cups with whipped topping and gummy worms or cinnamon hearts if your have them, even sprinkles work, remember, they're kids, they're easy.

If it's colorful and loaded with sugar, they love it. Let your kids help you mix up 5 bowls of cake mix and pour them into cupcake cups. Let them mix the batters to create new flavors if they want. Don't worry, if they make it, they'll eat it. Drag out the icing and sprinkles and let them have fun.

Coming up with ideas for your Valentine's Party doesn't have to be hard. Just ask your kids what they want to do, then tone it down a little and see what you have lying around the house to work with. I f they want to dress up like pirates, drag out the coat hangers and construction paper, make a hook for a hand from the hanger and craft pirate hats from black construction paper.

Another Valentine's party idea is to pretend that you are spending Valentine's Day on a warm sunny beach in Tahiti. Crank up the heat, put on some shorts and sunglasses and crank up the reggae music, man! Create a Congo line with your kids and make non-alcoholic mixed drinks with Kool-Aid and fruit juice. Just have fun with it.

Kids love tents. Incorporate this idea into your Valentine's party by extending the festivities into the night by allowing your children to make their own tents in the living room with blankets and chairs, and let them sleep in them with flashlights and a bag of marshmallows.

Whatever idea you go with for your spectacular family Valentine's party, just keep it fun. Your kids are going to be cooped up with cabin fever and running on high octane sugar anyways, so just make the most of it. Then they can tell their friends what a cool Valentine's Day they had when the snow finally melts.
