birthday kids is the heirloom quality wooden white carousel Horse (around
$299), pictured right. Any carousel toys you display will bring the charm of
yesteryear to your Carousel Horse Party.
- Assemble a paper model carousel. "Cut and Assemble and Old Fashioned
Carousel" by A.G. Smith is a fun project and makes a fine centerpiece for your
carousel horse party.

harness. Finding animal cracker boxes is not as easy as you might thing,
so buy them online. - Trim the tables with an edible garland of life savers, Fruit Loops or candy

should be different and have different shapes. Start the music. Children pass
the packages around the circle until the music stops. Then everyone gets to
