We are all supposed to eat plenty of vegetables to stay healthy. But, are we turning into vegetables by watching too much television.
If you think the television is a baby sitter and your kids are not getting enough exercise make plans each day to stop what you are doing and get out one or your kids wooden indoor playsets or one of their other educational children’s toys and spend some quality time with them.
The Safari wooden play set shown above includes all the animal figures you see as well as the jeep with rolling wheels and is available online.
The American of Academy of Pediatrics Society suggests that children watch no more than one to two hours of “quality programming,” whether on TV or video, each day. The Academy also says that children need physical activity and personal interaction, not a diet of glaring electronic images, especially when they are lewd, violent, or inane.
A Safari Themed Party with jungle Zoo animals with rainforest music can get the guests into the feel of a real safari. Safari Theme Party Food which can be served at a Safari Themed Party are burgers, fries and colorful drinks with umbrellas.
For your Safari Themed Party choose from sweet treats like safari cakes, zoo animal face cakes and or safari cupcakes. Animal crackers/cookies can also be used as a decoration, simply place zoo animal crackers in a party bowl and use the boxes to make Animal Zoo Cages.
A fun game to play is Hide & Go Seek or Tag. The person who’s “it” wears an explorer’s outfit (safari “pith” hat and binoculars) and the rest of the players wearing zoo Animal Masks. Another game can be played like an Easter Egg or Scavenger Hunt, just hide your inflatable safari animals, and have the party guests place the animals they’ve collected in their own Animal Zoo Cages.
Decorate a your party with inflatable zoo animals and make paper bag safari puppets. Put up safari print balloons and streamers. Have each guest dress up as their favorite safari animal, and the guest of honor as the explorer.
You can double the fun by giving your child a Safari Adventure Playset as a birthday present. The set shown above includes seven hand-painted animals, baobab tree, 3 figures and a rolling puzzle jeep.
