Grace ahs suddenly changed her mind abouther birthday party.
We are going to be indoors and she wants a gypsy birthday.
we are going to pull out all of my kid friendly belly dance stuff, shiney fabrics and pareos and decorating the livingroom like a vardo. I am going to set up a little table to do mock palm readings, crystal ball, tarot, etc. for fun, if I can make it over to park rapids before saturday I am going to get a kids henna kit, but I am at a loss as to what we should do for other activites....any ideas?
HELP!!! I HAVE TWO DAYS!!!! YIKES!
That is my fly by the seat of her pants Taurean girl for you....

When my daughter was a gypsy one halloween we got a bag of those thin, cheap gold coins with a hole in them and made necklaces and bracletts and a headband thing. I think we got them at JoAnns. Depending on age they could put them on chains or tie them on gold cords and get some gypsy jewlery. Merle |

What about doing an imaginary journey? I am not sure how old your daughter is, but when I was a kid I loved those imaginary journeys that were guided- the "We're going on a bear hunt" type things.

I think Erins 8 Ball idea is great.. or you could use a gazing ball from the garden! When my Daughter was little i was the Leader of her Girl Scout Troop.. One year we had a Halloween party .. We set it up like a mini Fall Festival with little Booths.. I was dressed up like an old Gypsy woman.. & when the girls came to my booth of course i told them their fortune.. I read their palms & told them silly things like they were going to have 20 kids.. & exactly who they were marry ( which was pretty hilarious ) because i knew all the girls & boys that they went to school with.. so i knew just the right boys name to tell them that would make them flip! You know.. I knew to make sure that i told Jennifer that she was destined to marry that boy Freddy that picked his nose all the time! They were squeeling the whole time.. Each booth they got a prize or gift or something small.. In the Gypsy booth.. i gave them a Chinese Fortune cookie.. It was pretty fun.. Really goofy.. they girls loved the whole thing .. I think your daughter is going to love this Birthday !! & the theme that she's picked!

Going along with the carnival theme, I'm trying to remember games of chance or skill that I remember from childhood parties and carnivals. How about the clothes pin drop (from nose level into a vase)? Or the ring toss (you can use canning jar rings and plastic soda bottles weighted with sand). Or the wishing well, where you drop your bucket over a partition of some kind and someone behind the curtain puts a prize in it? I'm not sure how old Grace is, but these were things we did often at elementary school age parties.
Maybe you could use those gold foil-covered chocolate coins as party favors and prizes? |

Would any kind of star gazing fit into this party? Astrology and Roman Gods is kinda Gypsy-ish to me... |
