Hoping to get some good game suggestions for a 4 year olds birthday party.

I'm going with a My Little Pony theme as DD is in lurve with pony's right now, she wants a Twighlight Sparkle cake - no idea where to start with that ... i'm not really that great at cakes although I guess I could try ... is it worth just buying one ??

Have arrange a marquee and table and chairs, I have my own DJ gear so will set that up for the kids to do musical statues ... would REALLY appreciate any other suggestions for games!

TIA

[-*meh*-]

how about events based on the characters:

rainbow dash race
pinkie pie cupcake making
rarity dress ups
fluttershy animal hunt (like a treasure hunt?)
applejack bobbing for apples

and the the twilight sparkle cake?

You could also do pin the tail on the Pony

Pinata - just buy a MLP gift bag and thread lots of different coloured strings into the bottom, fill with lollies

There are also a heap of MLP games, cupcake patties, decorations etc on Ebay.

I don't know who Twilight Sparkle is but you can just ice a round or square cake and add a plastic pony with some flowers or sparkle type things.

Love all the party game suggestions.

Off to plan my nearly 4year olds rainbow party.

Good luck with yours.

We just hosted 2 parties for my 4 year old this weekend. I wouldn't bother planning heaps of games, they tend to just want to play at this age. We just did pass the parcel, musical bobs, and a dancing contest. Luckily the weather was fabulous and they just got busy in the cubby house and sand pit!

Cake- plain sponge, iced and decorated with figurines. Easy and looks awesome!

The only one I had to add is the "Don't laugh" game. All of the guests sit down and one at a time come up to the front while the guests have a minute or two (depending on attention span) to make the person at the front laugh. Lots of giggles guaranteed.

For parties I've hosted, I usually have a lot of games organised, but depending on how the party is running as whether or not we play them all. It's always good to have a back up plan in case the kids get bored or rowdy

Have a great time!
