It has been my favourite character since childhood. Infact even today I own a hello kitty bag.</span></i><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">In the real world, Hello Kitty was born in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">London</st1:city></st1:place> in 1974.<br />
The character is portrayed as a female white Japanese bobtail cat with a red bow. The character's first appearance on an item, a vinyl coin purse, was introduced in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Japan</st1:country-region> in 1974 and brought to the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country-region> in 1976. Shimizu, wanted to create a cat that was peteen-nish for sure, author Marie Y. Moss writes in a book called "Hello Kitty Hello Everything", but one that would certainly prefer a catnap to catnip." And so the designer drafted a white cat wearing a red bow and blue overalls. On November 1, 1974, Sanrio introduced the first picture of Hello Kitty. She sat between a bottle of milk and a pet goldfish, and had turned her head sideways to face her new found friends. In a word: cute. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8E_R17jjlCErVZWY_Rxy05_oVuZ1qMmi8FAkfQb-7Op4ev1zVz4srWzGv7QMV3RjdVFFyhjZHCLhgcJxbwlkj7lBllVoBTpkbfnZKpFaB2fRHuBky2Z5n-9ZLcJDR_hizSZYMqGYOvck/s1600/vectorart1-hello-kitty-m.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8E_R17jjlCErVZWY_Rxy05_oVuZ1qMmi8FAkfQb-7Op4ev1zVz4srWzGv7QMV3RjdVFFyhjZHCLhgcJxbwlkj7lBllVoBTpkbfnZKpFaB2fRHuBky2Z5n-9ZLcJDR_hizSZYMqGYOvck/s400/vectorart1-hello-kitty-m.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: large;"><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=bohragourdoit-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B00447ZQTU&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>Ideas for making the card</span></u></i></b></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 11pt;">Bow Card with </span></i></b><i><b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Balloon:</span></i></b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> Make a bow shaped cut-out of a big card stock.

<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Another way would be making the face of spongebob on yellow sponge by sticking googly eyes, draw a mouth, red blushy cheeks, and a nose. Cut two arms and two legs out of construction paper and glue them on at the back of the sponge. Draw the tie, the shorts and his shirt on a construction paper matching the size of the sponge you have used as his face (make sure to leave some space on top of each to stick it on the sponge) and glue them on. You can now stick this spongebob in the front of a white/yellow invitation cardstock and write the details on the party at the back.<o:p></o:p></span></i></li>

On go the Carnivores chase the Herbivores – A Herbivore is caught when a sticker is placed on his or her back by a Carnivore. Then they must freeze until another Herbivore removes the sticker. This continues until the Carnivores are all out of stickers. Then reverse role play. The kids love this!!!</span></i><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></li>

<li class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Pin the Crown on The Cinderella</span></i></b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">: Cinderella birthday party game similar to Pin the Tail on the Donkey. Let the girls pin the crown on the Cinderella. Beforehand cut out lots of small crowns out of gold paper. Each guest should have a crown with their name on (so there is no confusion later over who is the winner). Don't forget to blindfold the kid and spin her around one time before she tries to pin the crown on the Cinderella.<o:p></o:p></span></i></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Cinderella Housecleaning: </span></i></b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">When all the guests have arrived, announce that each girl is now Cinderella. Give each one a feather duster or a rag to clean up a room in your house. (The kids are going to love this!)<o:p></o:p></span></i></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Ballroom Dancing: </span></i></b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">When all the Cinderella birthday party guests are dressed for the ball, play the "Nutcracker" music, and let them dance around the party room. From time to time, turn off the music and present a prize to "the best twirler" or "the most elegant couple." (Prepare awards ahead of time, and present a small prize for each award.)<o:p></o:p></span></i></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The Strike of Midnight: </span></i></b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">During the last dance, the clock strikes twelve (an alarm clock that chimes). Instruct the girls to run, leaving one "slipper" behind. Back in their Cinderella's room, they strip down to their "rags."<o:p></o:p></span></i></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Cinderella's Message Mix-Up: </span></i></b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Have your Cinderella birthday party guests sit in a circle. The birthday girl comes up with a message that she thinks the Fairy Godmother would want to tell Cinderella (e.g., Be sure to be home by midnight or your carriage will turn into a pumpkin.) She then whispers the message to the person on her left.<br />
The message travels all the way around the circle. The person on the birthday girl's right tells the message out loud and then the birthday girl tells the original message. Watch the girls giggle as they compare both messages. You can start another round by letting another person be the "Godmother."<o:p></o:p></span></i></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Little Pad Moat Crossing: </span></i></b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Cut out four large lily pads from green cardboard (about 12"x15" in size). Divide Cinderella birthday party guests into two equal lines, and give the first person in each line two lily pads. The lily pads become the only thing they can step on as they travel across the moat - from the front of the line, around a chair and back to the line again.<br />
The game begins when children place one lily pad on the ground and step on it. Then they do the same with the other lily pad. Next, they pick up the first lily pad and place it on the ground in front of the other. When they cross the moat they hand the two lily pads to the next player in line. The team to make it all the way across the moat first is the winner.<br />
To make the game longer and more challenging, give each of the two teams a princess outfit. In addition to walking on lily pads, each child must first put on the princess outfit.<o:p></o:p></span></i></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Who am I?: </span></i></b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Write names of the characters on strips of masking tape before the Cinderella birthday party, so each child will have one. (The names can include Cinderella, Prince, Duke, Stepmother, Step Sisters, King, Queen, Godmother, etc.)<br />
At game time, attach a name to each kid's back, bud don't let them see it. Children must figure out what character is on their back by asking everyone else questions that can be answered "yes" or "no." (For example, "Am I a girl?" "Do I have magical powers?", etc.)<o:p></o:p></span></i></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Edible Jewelry: </span></i></b><i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Girls will love creating sweet jewelry. For edible "beads," purchase a variety of doughnut-shaped cereal, small candies, or tiny cookies. (Life Savers® candies are kid-favorites - buy as many varieties as you can find, so there's lots of colors and flavors to choose from.)<br />
For stringing material, use spaghetti licorice rope so necklaces and bracelets are completely edible. (Use yard or elastic cord as alternatives.) <o:p></o:p></span></i></li>

Ask a helper to play music, stopping it every 10 to 20 seconds. As the Cinderella birthday party music plays, kids start passing the wand as quickly as possible.<br />
When the music stops, the person holding the wand goes out of the game. Let that child keep the wand. Hand out another wand and turn the music back on to continue the game. The game ends when everyone is out, and everyone has a wand.<o:p></o:p></span></i></li>
