      The Next Morning

      BRIGHT BREAKFAST

      Neon food coloring can turn a pancake

      stack into a bright sight. Ask a parent to

      prepare pancakes according to package

      directions. Separate the batter into three or

      four bowls, one for each color. Starting with

      three drops of food coloring, stir in enough to

      make each bowl of batter brightly colored.

      Cook the pancakes as directed, and let guests

      choose their favorites.

      SWEET SWAP

      Everyone gets some sweet surprises at this “make and take”!

      Invitation

      The gumball machine may be fake—but the

      gumballs inside are not! Fill a refillable plastic

      ornament with gumballs. (Look for “clear acrylic

      fillable ball ornament” from an online party

      supply store.) Cut a strip of paper, write up the

      party details, and use adhesive dots to attach

      the strip to an upside-down 3-ounce paper cup.

      Attach an adhesive dot to the bottom of the

      ornament, and secure it to the cup.

      Decorations

      GUESS THE GUMBALLS

      Fill a large glass jar with gumballs to make a

      centerpiece. Ask guests to guess how many

      gumballs are inside. They can write their

      guesses (and names) on sticky notes and place

      the notes on top of the jar. Whoever guesses

      closest gets to take the jar home.

      CANDY BALLOONS

      Wrap inflated balloons with colored

      cellophane, found at party supply

      stores. Tie the ends with curling ribbon. Now

      they look like giant pieces of candy! Scatter

      them around the floor, or ask a parent to help

      you attach them to the wall.

      Drink

      SWEET SIPPERS

      What goes great with chocolate? Milk, of

      course! Give all of your guests a glass of milk,

      and have them stir in either chocolate or

      strawberry syrup. Use licorice sticks as straws.

      Dessert & Craft

      SPRINKLE TREATS

      These treats are easy to make and fun

      to eat—and they look super cute.

      YOU WILL NEED

      Small lollipop sticks

      Double-stuffed sandwich cookies

      Marshmallows

      Pretzel rods

      Candy melts in assorted colors

      Assorted sprinkles

      Wax paper

      1. Insert small lollipop sticks into the centers

      of double-stuffed sandwich cookies so

      they look like lollipops. Also insert lollipop

      sticks in the tops of marshmallows.

      2. Place the cookies and marshmallows on

      their own platters, and fill a third platter

      with plain pretzel rods.

      3. Have an adult melt each candy color in its

      own bowl in the microwave, according to

      package directions. Place bowls on a large

      table covered with a plastic cloth. Assemble

      several more bowls with different colors

      and styles of sprinkles.

      4. Dip cookie and marshmallow lollipops into

      the melted candy, and let excess drip back

      into bowl. Then dip the treats into sprin-

      kles, and let them dry on wax paper.

      5. For the pretzels, use a spoon and drizzle

      melted candy on ¾ of the rod. Dip in

      sprinkles!

      6. When all of your guests have made their

      treats, swap and share.
