Jungle Party

Welcome to the jungle -- we've got fun and games! If your kid's a party animal, this jungle-inspired celebration will help him explore his wild side. Provide homemade binoculars and encourage guests to hunt for hidden animals. Show off your sly side with a slithering green ssssugar russsh cake! When the party ends, send the kiddies on their way with a safari surprise goodie bag filled with critters, stickers and toys.

Jungle Vines

Here's how to make these decorative jungle vines. Cut a bunch of 1 to 1 1/2 inch thick strips of paper from a roll of brown craft paper, and fold each strip into quarters. Wrap each folded strip around your finger to make a spirally vine piece. Using scraps of green fabric and felt, cut out leaf shapes with pinking shears. Finally, use a sewing machine to sew a straight line down each vine piece, adding leaves randomly, and sew the long vine pieces together.
