Move everyone to Curacao and we'll celebrate Katie's brithday here at home!!!LOL..in my wildest dream!!!

My idea for my niece:

The YMCA should have a room with small tables and chairs for kids. Hire someone to tell a story, a game and then end the activity with an artwork that they can take home. I went to one, it was in a room in a church. They sat the kids in the floor, talk about an artist and then in the tables they gave them like flat boxes with edges of course. Inside they put a white paper, and in different bowls paint of different colors and different sizes of small balls (pebbles). The idea is to put the ball in the bowl of paint, with a spoon transfer the ball to the box and start moving the ball from left to right up and down. They can do this with different colors until the whole paper is covered. Once is done the person pick up every box with the paper and let them dry and after that is frame it with plastic frames that you could find in an art store.
While the artwork is drying and framing - You could do pizza and juices, sing the birthday song, cut the cake, eat it and we are almost done. By then it's been like two good hours so it's time to go!
