I think the best birthday parties start off with a bit of time where the kids can play by themselves (with supervision). Wastes their energy. Time in a toy room throwing stuff about and all that. Then some organised games. Then cake and sweets. Then send them home to their parents with a huge sugar hangover. And voila, your job is done. Dear petite.

I get along very well with my ex and it is wonderful for the kids. We have family nights where we all cook together and have dinner. She should learn to get along with her ex as well; after all they have a child together. PS, don’t let “Annonymous | 1:51 pm” sway you and Mr Frog’s friendship.

But mostly just let them play. Buy play-doh or some sort of small game with prizes for all. Or dress up is fun at that age, lots of costumes for all to try on. http://www.amazingmoms.com/htm/KidsBirthdayParties.htm

The games are usually much more fun when they have as few rules as possible and come with small prizes bought at the 1€ store. Cake decoration is fun too. Pate d'amande decorations are fun to make and not as messy as other options. Then you can invite all the tired princesses to participate in the big gateau ceremony involving as many cake - options as possible (sampling takes a looong time) with contributions from the other mums. Also crucial to your success : keep a wide variety of sweets available at ALL times. Good luck ;D As a former French 6 year old, my most vivid Bday memories are of dress up parties, with any kind of fun old clothes, the main thing being accessories – hats, fake jewelry, and make up (hide your own, buy pink sparkly stuff).

Most parents are only too glad to palm their offspring off on someone else for the afternoon and can't get out of the door quick enough. Get some paper and felt tips out - I am always amazed at how they never get bored of drawing pictures. A simple, non-messy activity. They also love to dance, so download some kids music. Mine love all that techno-type Bébé Lili stuff, plus the traditional Okey Kokey type things. In fact I think I have a photo of Tadpole and my Alys strutting their stuff at one of my girls' parties.
