Kids Birthday Party Games

Description

Illus. in full color. "Don't be fooled by the title of this seriocomic ode to success; it's not 'Climb Every Mountain,' kid version. All journeys face perils, whether from indecision, from loneliness, or worst of all, from too much waiting. Seuss' familiar pajama-clad hero is up to the challenge, and his odyssey is captured vividly in busy two-page spreads evoking both the good times (grinning purple elephants, floating golden castles) and the bad (deep blue wells of confusion). Seuss' message is simple but never sappy: life may be a 'Great Balancing Act,' but through it all 'There's fun to be done.'"--(starred) Booklist.

Inspirational yet honest, and always rhythmically rollicking, Oh, the Places You'll Go! is a perfect sendoff for children, 1 to 100, entering any new phase of their lives. Kindergartners, graduate students, newlyweds, newly employeds--all will glean shiny pearls of wisdom about the big, bountiful future. The incomparable Dr. Seuss rejoices in the potential everyone has to fulfill their wildest dreams: "You'll be on your way up! / You'll be seeing great sights! / You'll join the high fliers / who soar to high heights." At the same time, he won't delude the starry-eyed upstart about the pitfalls of life: "You can get all hung up / in a prickle-ly perch. / And your gang will fly on. / You'll be left in a Lurch." But fear not! Dr. Seuss, with his inimitable illustrations and exhilarating rhymes, is convinced ("98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed") that success is imminent. As long as you remember "to be dexterous and deft. And NEVER mix up your right foot with your left," things should work out. (All ages) --Emilie Coulter

Attention pizza lovers! Create your own "personal pizza" with this sturdy wooden pizza set. It features six thick slices served in a brightly colored tray, complete with cutter, spatula and over 50 toppings stored neatly in a wooden box. It's hours of imaginative fun any way you slice it.

With the Melissa & Doug Pizza Party, your child can make believe she's running a pizza parlor, doing everything from baking and slicing a pizza to serving it to her guests. This high-quality wood toy is designed for kids three and up and includes a "sliceable" pizza, a pizza tray, 54 pizza "toppings," a pizza cutter, and a server, all packaged in a sturdy wood container. Pizza Party Ages: 3+ What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Educational factor: Novelty factor: The Good: Sturdy wood toy will stand up to years of play The Challenging: Cute, painted, wood storage container is built to last, but would be improved with the addition of a cover In a Nutshell: Toy pizza with topping and utensils offers kids fun, creative props for imaginary play Kids love serving up their delicious pizza creations with the wooden pizza cutter and server. View larger. With 54 pizza toppings, children can customize pies for their friends and family. View larger. Make, Bake, and Serve Pizza The wooden pizza consists of six "slices" that are held together by Velcro. Each piece has three Velcro disks for attaching the pizza toppings. Your child can assemble the pizza right on the cheerful green pizza tray. Using pepperoni, mushroom, or peppers, or a combination of the three toppings, she can make a pizza that almost looks good enough to eat. Once the pizza is "ready," the child can use the pizza cutter to cut the pizza. It actually has a rolling blade, just like an authentic utensil, and since the pizza slices are held together with Velcro, it makes a fun crunching sound when it's cut. Your little pizza chef can then dish out pizza to her customers with the included server. (Note that the toy kitchen utensils are not meant for use with real food or with real kitchen appliances.) Play and Learn Pretend play is a very important part of childhood development, and the Pizza Party toy gives children fun, straightforward tools to inspire their imaginations. We also love that this toy is perfect for both independent and interactive playtime, giving parents the opportunity to help kids learn while playing, too. For example, children can learn counting concepts while preparing pizza: ask them to count the number of mushrooms on the pizza, or to put 10 peppers on her pizza. Sturdy Wood Construction The Pizza Party comes with 54 disk-shaped pizza toppings -- three of each kind -- which is enough to create an all-pepperoni, all-peppers, or all-mushroom pizza, as well as make up whatever combination your child chooses. We like that there are an abundance of toppings pieces, so that the inevitable loss of a couple of pieces won't ruin the whole toy. That said, we do wish that the cute, painted wood storage container came with a cover to help keep the pieces in place a bit better. With its sturdy wood construction and high-quality materials, this toy is made to last. And as with all of their products, Melissa & Doug states that this toy is made with non-toxic coatings and meets or exceeds US toy testing standards. About Melissa & Doug Started in the garage at Doug's parents' house in 1988, Melissa & Doug has grown to become one of the most popular toy makers in the world. Their toys have garnered dozens of parenting and "best toy" awards over the years, and have been featured widely in national print media and on television. One of the company's points of pride is that their toys are thoroughly tested for safety, and meet all US consumer product safety regulations. The toys are tested at the factory of origin during various phases of the production process to ensure that every toy meets the company's stringent safety requirements every step along the way. In particular, the paints and coatings on Melissa & Doug toys are tested frequently to be sure they meet or exceed government recommendations limiting heavy metals and lead in children's items. Since day one, Melissa & Doug has been in compliance with every US consumer product safety regulation and will continue to stay compliant as the laws continue to evolve, assuring parents that their children can have a safe childhood while playing with Melissa & Doug toys. What's in the box Toy pizza, 54 "pizza topping" pieces, wood pizza server and pizza cutter.

CATHY FINK & MARCY MARXER have inspired families, teachers and kids all over the world to sing together since 1983. They have gathered GRAMMY nominations and awards from Parents' Choice, Early Childhood News, The American Library Association, The National Parenting Publications and Washington Area Music Association. On the same planet, BRAVE COMBO has been making powerful music for over 20 years. No style eludes them from Polka to Pop to international ethnic dance rhythms and songs. After multiple GRAMMY nominations, they won a GRAMMY for Best Polka Album in 2000. Together, this remarkable collaboration combines the talents of the two groups, resulting in a recording that will spark the spontaneous joy of singing, dancing and musical adventure.This product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

Parents and their kids may know Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer as the award-winning, prolific songwriting duo for kids. But who are these Brave Combo guys that Fink and Marxer are hanging out with on All Wound Up: A Family Music Party? The Denton, Texas, band, who make some of the most danceable party music around, specialize in polkas, a host of Mexican and Latin dance styles, plus an occasional Middle Eastern flavor or three. They're well traveled, musically speaking, with a host of critically praised albums and a legion of fans. Throw the Combo together with Fink and Marxer, and you get the whole enchilada: essential traditional and freshly original party tunes (plus the new and incendiary calypso number, "I Will Never Clean Up My Room"). Your junior constituents will repeat "The Mockingbird Polka," penned by Fink and Marxer, and the old Harry Belafonte tune "Turn the World Around" so often that you'll dream them in your sleep. As if that weren't enough reason to join the party, who could resist a disc that highlights a salsa version of "Chopsticks" and "Funiculi Funicula," the classic ode to joy that belongs in the world view of every girl and boy? A delight, through and through. --Martin Keller

Get your toes a-tapping in the Wild West – and on a High Tea adventure – with The Backyardigans. Yip-yip-yip and pip-pip-cheerio!

Collaboration and compromise prove key to imaginative backyard adventures in this quartet of Backyardigans episodes. In "Polka Palace Party," Cowboy Tyrone's love of the tuba and polka music takes him on a journey way out west to the Cheyenne Polka Palace. Along the way, he rescues clarinet playing Uniqua, accordion playing Pablo, and drum playing Austin from their separate perils. The group eventually joins forces to form a successful four-piece polka band. When Tasha convinces Pablo, Tyrone and Uniqua to have high tea with her, the gang resigns itself to a pretty boring afternoon. Little do they know that preparing for high tea will take them into the deep jungle, to meet the Emperor of the Ming Empire, and into the vicinity of the gushing geyser in the Gobe Desert. Three Tarzans and a scientist journey through the jungle in search of the Wormy family in "The Heart of the Jungle" and it's a rough adventure on the stormy seas for Viking sailors intent on discovering a new land in "Viking Voyages." As always, The Backyardigans features lots of kid-sung music--this time in the polka, Irish, Broadway and jazz styles. Also included is the music video "Hold Tight" from the "Viking Voyages" episode. (Ages 18 months to 6 years) --Tami Horiuchi
