You know, I was at a bridal shower where they played Pin the Leaf on David. The hostess did pretty much what Lori Hamilton suggested - she made her own game by blowing up a picture of David and having leaf cut-outs with tape on the back.
 
Papel picado is a great activity for children old enough to handle (safety) scissors. We're offering this at the Museum's Community Day this weekend, and the supplies are minimal and inexpensive - tissue paper, scissors, and glue and string to hang the art up. Here's a link: http://www.art.unt.edu/ntieva/news/vol_7/issue3/96falp11.htm
Good luck!

We are making efforts to introduce some new art activities for our children
and the birthday parties that are held here at Museum. Does anyone know of a
supplier who creates nice but cost effective supplies?  We are introducing
some new Arty Party themes (My Little Monet, Canvas Creators and Masterpiece
Makers). Has anyone ever seen a Pin the Ear on Van Gough activity or the
Smile on Mona Lisa?

Thank you!
