I'm throwing my (soon to be step daughter) her first birthday party. The theme of it is going to be Dora.. Does anyone know where I can find good party supplies at.

Do you have a party city by you? I'm always able to find everything there from the invites, thank you's table clothes, balloons etc.

I dont think I do.. But I will look in the phone book.. There is one in Charlotte that I've been too.. But I wont be going back there for a while...

Hobby Lobby, if you have one, has a pretty good selection of party supplies. Otherwise a good craft store like that would probably have some. Also Target has character party supplies, they may have Dora. You could also just get some Dora stuff and then get some stuff that isn't Dora but goes along with it, like magnifying glasses or maybe play bugs or something. I haven't ever watched the show so I'm not positive what all is in it exactly. Birthday parties are so much fun. Hope you have a good time.

I dont know if you have a party supplie plus but thats where I find alot. My daughter had a Dora party and I found things for it at kmart. I bought a small dora doll and put it on her cake. It was real cute.

I would try looking at walmart or someplace like that they have quite a few party supplies I gotten plenty for my son at walmart before. Good Luck.

I need some idea of activities you can do for 1-4 year olds.
some of them cant play pin the tail on the donkey because they cant walk yet... Please HELP!!

Ciera's mom · 09-13-2005, 07:39 AM

Nicole they have some Dora and Care Bear stuff at Walmart and also where you live in Johnson City, I am not sure if they have one but at the Blountville exit where Carolina Pottery is, there is a store called the Paper Factory and they have lots of stuff of all kinds and I am positive Dora and Care Bears too.

Ciera's mom · 09-13-2005, 07:48 AM

As far as activities, we didn't really do any games and things, but I got little bags and put little things in it for them like crayons, bubbles, those little noise makers and such, for the boys I got spiderman water bottles ($1 a piece at walmart) and for the girls I got little notepads that were in a little thing that looked like cell phones that had a little pen with it (same price as the water bottles). They really enjoyed those, and a guy I used to go to school with did a magic show for me. He lives in Big Stone Gap if you want his info. his website is http://www.josephyoungmagic.com if you want to take a look at it. We have been to 3 other little parties since my sons, and they were 1-4 year olds and none of them did anything except the little bags with the goodies in them. Hope this helps you.

Brutus'mama · 09-13-2005, 09:24 AM

What about something like face painting, pinahta or tattos? Kids love stickers too! Most of the parties we go to these days are in a party gym kind of place where they get nuts for a while and then have pizza and cake. But all of the parties I've been to have those activities.

Hickey007 · 09-13-2005, 09:49 AM

I went to a kids party once and she got some cheap picture frames(those clear plastic ones that you just slide a picture in) and had some paint and let everyone paint them. Then she also had a polariod camera and took a picture of each kid with, well she had the local college mascot there so she took their picture with him but you could just take their picture with the birthday girl and let them take it home.

Also you could just get a roll of paper and roll it out in the back yard(if you have one) and let them paint and color all over it. You can get rolls of paper from your local newspaper for free usually. They can't use them after a certain point and they have to throw them away anyway.

I think though like was said before at that age you don't have to have activies to do if you don't want. Just some toys to play with and they'll have a blast. Whatever you decide I'm sure it will be great.
