Just looking through the puzzles available can give great party theme ideas for child jigsaw puzzles parties. See also floor kids jigsaw puzzles to get a big eye catching, colourful child jigsaw puzzle, or how about an unusual kids jigsaw puzzle.

I like the idea of the kids making their own puzzles at child jigsaw puzzle parties and taking them home. In particular the community puzzle. Each child can make a big piece and the joined up effect is fantastic. Coveralls required depending on whether the kids are painting.

Child Jigsaw Puzzle Party Set Up

A few tips for hosting child jigsaw puzzles parties are included here.
3 Months Prior to the Party

• Budget -Decide on a budget. This will help drive other decisions you'll have to make
• Date & Location for party - Select a date. Be aware that this is a busy time of the year. Best to inform family and friends of the selected date a.s.a.p. so that they can reserve the date

2 Months Prior to the Party

• Type of Party - Consider what type of party your child loves i.e. if it will be themed and what type of entertainment is desired
• Menu - Decide on what type of food to serve that will suit your guest. Select a caterer or ask a friend to help
• Guest List - Consider the following when compiling this list: 1. how many people do you want to invite 2. your Christmas card list 3. people whom you owe for parties they've thrown 4. friends 5. neighbors 6. relatives 7. other kids and parents who have invited you to their parties

Ask for a response to the child jigsaw puzle party by at least 2 weeks prior.

• Decorations - Purchase decorations and party supplies as well as plates, cups etc
• Invitations - Order your invitations or make your own. Ask for a response by at least 2 weeks prior

One Month Prior to the Party

• Order food and drinks - or meet with caterer to finalize requirements
• Send Invitations
• Buy favours for the party guests
• Cake - Order a cake as no party is complete without a cake to share with everyone
• Arrange the jigsaw puzzles

One week prior to the Party

• Collect food and drinks (if necessary)
• Start decorating the house or venue
• Wrap gifts - for graduate and friends
• Review guest list - and check responses received

On Day of Party

• Lay out non-perishable food early
• Lay out perishable food late
• Put up directional signs
• Party time - Let your hair down and have some fun!

Decorate the venue with lots of balloons, streamers, jigsaw puzzles, stars made from card in gold and silver, and bunting made from pieces of card cut into jigsaw shapes.

The food should be kept simple. Kids don't tend to eat too much as they would rather play. Boxes of raisins, carrot sticks, fruit bowls such as grapes, apple and pineapple, mini pizzas, and of course ice cream. Drinks like water and fruit juices will keep the party guests going.

If you need a bit of extra help the following book will help:

The Complete Idiots Guide to Throwing a Great Party

By Patty Sachs and Phyllis CambriaThis is a party planning bible for novices or pros. It contains a wealth of help and inspiration init's 300+ pages.

Parents Guide to Child Jigsaw Puzzle Parties

Most of all I believe, my wife and I need to provide a great positive welcoming attitude for our little guests and their parents. Start making it fun with a great attitude.

The book above will help a lot in getting you organised.

Icebreakers

Try a few brilliant icebreaking games to get everyone off to a flying start.

• Treasure hunt for child jigsaw puzzle pieces, find them all and finish the puzzle
• Musical partners if you have some dancing. Start with a girl and boy and for the next song get them to ask a new partner each and so on till everyone is dancing
• Musical cushions, starting with a cushion for everyone. After each song the kids need to sit down on a cushion. If you don’t get a cushion you are out. Withdraw a cushion each time till only one left and one child wins the prize.
• Pin The tail on the donkey, arrange a picture of a donkey, a card tail and a blndfold to play this tradditional kids game
• Coloring In, arrange a table with lots of coloring in pages and pens. This will let the kids play themselves for a while. It is always good to have some quieter time at a kindergarten graduation party.
• Pass The Orange, no hands are allowed. The orange is held in your neck using your chin. Arrange teams of 4 to 6. First team to successfully pass their orange from neck to neck is the winner.

Child Jigsaw Puzzle Party Favors

There are many great child jigsaw puzzle party favours. A possible list is:

• A piece of cake


• A small toy


• A personalised candy bar


• Coloring in book and pens

But why not give the children a child jigsaw puzzle to take home. Some great little puzzles in a bag come from compozapuzzle.
