About This Book

A practical, illustrated handbook for children that explains how to plan and host simple parties with little or no help from adults. It covers invitations, assembling supplies and dress-up items, tableware and decorations, and recipes for easy refreshments, then provides dozens of themed programs—sandwich and candy pulls, sewing bees, doll entertainments, holiday and seasonal teas, indoor picnics, and culturally inspired gatherings—plus games, songs, and small take-home favors. Emphasis is on orderly preparation, tidy cleanup, and cheerful, creative presentation so young hosts can entertain and amuse their friends independently.
