This healthy snack can be prepared quickly beforehand, or used as a fun activity during the party! Make one as a centerpiece, or prepare one for each guest.

To begin, spread a large leaf of lettuce on a plate. Set a pear half (canned or fresh) in the center of the plate to make the turtle’s shell. Cut two apricot halves in half to make four legs and place two on each side of the pear. Add an apricot half to make a head. Finish with mini chocolate chips or raisins for eyes, nose, etc.

Don’t be surprised if the little fishes at your party get hooked on these delicious worms! To prepare, purchase your favorite brand of hot dogs, cheese, and refrigerator croissants. Slice hot dogs lengthwise and cut cheese into strips. Unroll croissants and stuff them with hot dogs and cheese. Roll croissants back up and bake as directed, or until golden brown. Enjoy!

Bake your child’s favorite cake in two round cake pans. When cool, leave one layer whole and cut the second layer into five equal triangle sections. (These five pieces will become the legs of the starfish.) Place the first layer in the center of a large, flat serving tray or platter. Trim the curved edges of the starfish legs, so they fit snugly against the round edge of the body piece. Arrange the legs neatly around the body of the starfish and attach with icing.

Frost the entire starfish with bright yellow, orange, purple, or red icing. Decorate with colored sprinkles while the icing is still damp to give it a spiny texture. For extra fun, spread blue frosting on the serving tray to make it look like the starfish is in the water.

The birthday child begins as the Octopus in the middle of a large playing area. All other players are Fish who must try to run past the Octopus to the other side of the playing area. If a Fish is tagged, he or she holds hands with the Octopus and become a tentacle to help tag more fish. The last Fish alive, wins!

This game is based on the traditional Duck, Duck, Goose game, but instead of a goose chasing a duck, a shark chases a fish! Start with all your little fishes seated in a circle. Designate a leader to walk around the circle, tapping guests on the head and calling each person a fish. After several guests have been tapped, the leader chooses one guest and yells out “Shark!” when tapping him or her on the head. The Shark chases the leader and tries to tag her as she races around the circle and back to the Shark’s spot. If the leader is caught, then she remains the leader another round. If the leader escapes the Shark, the Shark becomes the new leader. Repeat the game until every guest has a chance to be the leader.

• Play Rainforest Sounds Music throughout the party.
• Build a tree out of colored butcher paper to designate the gift table. (Wrap brown paper around a cylinder. Leave some folds and crinkles in the paper to make it look like bark. Unfold some wire coat hangers. Cut out leaf-like shapes about 2 – 2.5 feet long (think banana trees) out of green paper and attach one leaf to the end of each wire. Stick the bare ends of the wires into the cylinder so that the wire side of the leaves are facing up and the wires are hidden. Attach a few frogs to the trunk of the tree and place on a table.
• Use banana leaves (on plates) to serve food. Use dark wood or bamboo serving dishes and utensils. Read more
