Synopsis

Packed with ideas, this guide will help parents and kids plan the best slumber party ever with a minimum of fuss. With 13 different party themes, many of which can be adapted to girls or boys, even twins and dogs have their fun covered. Each party is fully planned with a time line that covers games, crafts, video recommendations, and menus for dinner, breakfast, and snacks. Themes include “Safari,” “Passion for Purple,” “Enchanted Castle,” “Vacation with Me,” and “Cartoonival,” and many of these fun ideas are suitable for smaller, daytime gatherings.

Reviews

The idea of sleep, to many kids and teens, is anathema; after all, suppose something happened while they're conked out for the evening? With her coauthor, Ripple, author of four other "What do I do?" books for parents, tackles about eight different issues with her fifth book--on slumber parties. There's the matter of baby-sitters--now completely unnecessary when following one of her 14 party ideas. Or the child entertainment factor, obliterated by a great selection of creative ideas, from cartoon to safari themes. Even the food challenge, solved by easy-to-make snack-type recipes. Every sleepover includes instructions galore: reproducible invitations, crafts, stories to tell, games and videos to play, plus a 20-something list of extra ideas should hours need to be filled. A first chapter on the whats, whys, and hows of slumber parties answers almost every conceivable parental query, from handling bedwetting accidents to ascertaining if a child is ready for a sleepover.
