I am going to have a fishing party for my 4 year old son. My parents have about 400 acres with a pond, so we are going to have the party out by the pond.
I found 8 1/2 by 11' bordered paper with fish wearing party hats, and came up with a little saying and used this for the invitations. I am going to get each child a small fishing pole & net (like the Snoopy poles from Wal-Mart) and cut out a paper fish with each of their names on it and hook it to the pole. That way they all have their very own pole we chose for them. This will be their party favors. Then we are going to have a fishing contest, who can catch the biggest fish and who can catch the most fish, and I will have a prize for each category. I will have a poloroid camera to take pictures of each of the kids fish they caught (so they can take it home with them). We have a couple of boats too, so the dads will take turns taking each of the kids out on the boat. I am having a fish cake made, and we are going to cook-out hotdogs with all the fixings (beans, chips, etc.). We are only having our family and his closest friend with their parents, because being around water we don't want to take any chances with a bunch of kids and any accidents happening. This should be a fun day, I know my son is looking forward to it. I am open to suggestions. Thanks!
