My Daughter was about to get one and i wanted to celebrate her birthday. There were many ideas but she loved just one toy and that was George. So I thought why not go with a Curious George party theme. Then my husband and I were not very keen on only Curious George, so we finally decided to do Jungle theme.  We wanted to have a very simple party.      Invites : Invites had three parts : a store bought invite, a poem and a passport to Escape to Africa". The invites were of a fire balloon shape with animals popping out the ballooon. We handcrafted the Passport "Escape to Africa" by pasting animal stickers on the floders and then cutting it in their specific shapes. The poem goes like this:      Climb your bike . Adventure is rite    Fun is here Animals are there    Lion Will roar Friends will rock the floor  Elephants will walk Aunty Uncles will talk   Party is on I am 1 on Sept 8 2010  Invites were hand delivered by a lady bug(our daughter was made to wear lady bug costume) flying and delivering invites. We hired an indoor place to celebrate her b'day. It is far more difficult to create a jungle indoor than outdoors. We created the backdrop by handcrafting a scene where on one end the lion sits under the tree with monkey hanging by the tree and on the other end a hippo standing under the tree with the girraffe popping out of the branches.  the lion trees hippo and the girrefe were made out of a cartoon box. we pasted black and brown wool for lions hair. Monkey was a plush toy from Babiesrus. Girriffe was made out of yellow colour wool and the Hippo was made by pasting pink colour cardboard paper. Trees were made of inexpensive green colour folder paper. The Grass was made by pasting a florecent colour glase paper and then pasting pastic dark green coloured leaves. We also made elephant  zebra and out of a cartoon box. We used black glase paper for making elephant. the task and nails were made by pasting glittery white coloured foam paper. Zebra was made by pasting a zebra print glase paper.   We downloaded animal sounds to create jungle ambiance. We also borrowed bubble machine for kids fun. We placed Jungle Gym Girraffee(vtech) Cruise and Crawl Jungle gym(Fisher Price) and hopping horse  in front of the backdrop. we tied animal print helium filled balloons to these toys.  animal print balloons were pasted on the wall and were left free all over the floor. It looked as if dancing animals were moving all over the place.   Animal foot prints were printed and pasted at the entrancer2 Our daughters dress was made by pasting plastic palm leaves around her underpants.  And then stitching it for more strength. She was made to wear a leafy green colour net around her chest. at the back we tied it as a butterfly.  We bought a hat which gelled very well with her costume. It was a hard tilted leaf with dark pink leaves popping out. A green colour steam popped out from the center of the hat with a a butterfly attached to it.  We made her wear a dark pink colour pearl neclace which went really well with the costume.   We requested all the kids to get their passport to Africa to the party and stamped it when they entered the hall. At the entrace they were given animal hats animal print sunglasses blowouts kelidescope candies and animal creatures (the one they liked).   Food sinages were wooden animals which i bought from the market and hand painted them. Sinages were made of Glittery Move and Pink cardboad paper. Food was indian and were named as Mongoose Ras(Soda)(Bhelpuri)Bugs bhel Mini Anancondas (Bagel Bites) Star Fish with Garbanzo beans Chaat(Samosa Chole Chaat) Honebeeys(Chips) Jungle River Sludge (Dal Makhani)   Cheesee Chipmung(Malai Kofta) Roasted Creapy Crawly Snails (Tava Fry Vegies) Steamed Flies(Rice)Tandoori Whale(Naan) . Cake was Jungle inspired passion fruit cream filled green cake with a George and Palm Tree as the toppers.  Games: We kept three games : peanut hunt Pasting Bindis on a hand made Girraffe Stump game. Everyone had a wonderful time  Thank you guys for your wonderful ideas. "
