Advertiser: Yum-Yum Birthday Cakes (Pretoria)
Birthdays are very important to children, so any effort to make their day as special as possible, is valued. The best moments of baking children birthday cakes is the sight of a child's face lighting up with wonder and excitement when they see their very own birthday cake.
Party Theme Idea: Christmas
I love Christmas. I love to decorate the tree, Christmas lunch, wrapping gifts... unfortunately I don't enjoy shopping during the holidays.
If you child's birthday is in December, you would know that getting a party organised with all the friends away is a nightmare.
Party Snacks:
- Gingerbread men/woman
- Christmas cake
- Fruit mince pies
- Caramelised apple pieces (like toffee apples, just cut into smaller pieces)
- Pizzas with red and green toppings (tomato, peppers, spinach)
- Candy canes
- Sugar cookies - decorate as Santas or Rudolpg the Red Nose Raindeer
- Rice Krispie treat snowballs - roll the balls in fine coconut
- Ice cream
- Popcorn strings
- Red and green juice
Party Ideas and Décor:
- Use sticks to make a Christmas tree, decorate with cookies on strings, popcorn strings, paper snowflakes and gingerbread men
- Give the children Santa hats
- Hang bells on string from the roof or tree branches - as the wind blows the bells will chimes
- Use your Chritmas lights to liven up any area
Party Invite Ideas:
- Make gingerbread men that could become great tree ornaments - add a string to its head and write the invite on the back

DIY gifts from the heart
I spotted this great idea and thought this would be great for this newsletter - since it is the time of year where families see each other and kids need to be kept busy.
The Rudolph Hand
Materials
- Pencil
- Brown cardboard
- Black marker
- Red glitter glue
- Gold sequins
- Glue
- Eyes or tiny black buttons
- Red pom-pom or button to use as a nose
- Brown pipe cleaner
- Paper clip or clothespin
Instructions
- Trace your child's hand onto a piece of brown cardboard paper
- Cut out the shape and add black marker hooves to the fingertips to look like nails
- Add a red glitter glue collar with gold sequins for bells, then glue on a googly eye, a red pom-pom nose, and a tail cut from the brown cardboard paper.
- Cut brown pipe cleaner in half to use as antlers. Bend each half in two (slightly off-center) and curl the ends. Glue together the pipe cleaner pieces, holding them in place with a paper clip or clothespin until the glue dries. Finally, glue the antlers in place on the reindeer.
