1. For the petals, you will need five balloons that are the same color and size. Inflate the balloons, comparing each to the first one so they match in size. If you are using helium, place the balloons in a plastic bag held under a table so they won’t float away.

2. Tie two of the balloons together: Stretch their knotted necks to make them easier to tie. There’s no need to knot them tightly, since they will naturally hold together as you manipulate them around. Set aside.

3. Next, tie the remaining three inflated balloons together: First tie two of them together as described in step 2, then tie on the third.

4. Join the two balloon clusters: Push the pair into the set of three so the necks wrap around each other.

5. Lock the two clusters together by rotating the necks of the balloons around each other several times until secure. Don’t worry about the balloons popping. They’re more durable than you might think. Set the petals aside.

6. For the center, inflate two balloons of a different color; use balloons that are the same size as the ones used to make the petals, but fill them with less air so they are slightly smaller. Tie the two balloons together.

7. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to insert the two balloons into the prepared cluster. Arrange the petals around the centers, twisting balloons several times to lock them all together.

8. Be sure the two balloons that make up the center are positioned correctly; the cluster should look like a flower whether viewed from the back or the front.

9. Wrap nylon string around the center of the cluster several times, changing direction to keep balloons well bound. To finish, pull one end of the string between two of the petals and cut off the other end. This will keep the flowers floating upright.

10. If using helium, tie the end of the string to a weight, such as a rock, or to a garden stake that you can plant in the grass. If using air, hang the balloon flowers from overhead.

Favor How-To
For favors, fill pails (available at party-supply stores) with candy and give each a paper daisy with a lollipop poked through its center.

Little Girl Party Idea 1: Princess Party
Princess Parties are always a hit. Get some inexpensive little crowns and some pretend makeup for the girls that will be attending this party that is designed for four to ten year old’s.

Little Girl Party Idea 2: Tea Party
Tea Parties are a lot of fun and can be incorporated into birthday parties as well. You will need a tea set (you can actually have tea if you like).

Little Girl Party Idea 3: Pajama Party
Pajama Party Pajama parties are a great alternative for girls that are not old enough for sleepover yet. The girls all arrive in their pajamas and get to play various party games. These parties only last for a few hours so some small snacks and simple games are sufficient since these are normally limited to three or four children.

Little Girl Party Idea 4: Slumber Party
Slumber parties are typically better for girls over the age of eight. These will last all night so be prepared. A movie for them to watch depending on their age is good for keeping them calm for a few hours. Junk food is the normal path taken here. Although you might like to give the guest the option of fruit as well to keep them from ending up with tummy aches in the end because while they may not want to you are going to want them to go to sleep.

These are some of the most basic party ideas for little girls. When planning a party for your little girl it is important to plan far enough in advance that you know what you are in for before the big day. There are some things such as inviting the guest that has to be done in advance. You can either purchase or make invitations for you child to give to those she is inviting that are based on the theme. These can be as simple as card stock with a design for the party placed on them.

Decorations are needed for parties as well. The decorations will be dependent on the theme as to whether or not you have streamers, posters or whatever you choose to decorate with.

Little Girl Party Idea 5: Buggerific Party
My family and I just celebrated my daughters 3rd birthday! We arranged to have our party outdoors. One game we played towards the end of our party, which the children enjoyed playing a Scavenger Hunt for Bugs! We scattered large bugs all over our yard, lady bugs, crickets, centipedes, any kind of toy bug I can pick up from local stores, hiding them in the grass, by the trees, on bushes! The toy bugs also decorated our backyard for the entire party! Another game pass the bumble bee around when the music stops you’ve been stung! You can pick up at any local store an insect of your choice.

Decorate your area with butterflies, dragonflies, ladybugs and bees go to Bugs-n-Blooms for beautifully made bugs! They are so beautiful you may want to keep them up in your child’s play area or bedroom!
