RE: [thelionscall] bbirthday party theme

Ooh! Fun! Invite me! I can act like I'm eight.

You might enjoy looking at the Magical World of Narnia Activity Book by
Brian Sibley. Lots of fun crafts, including Pin the Tail on Reepicheep (but
the kids might not know who he is yet), masks, a little play the kids can
do... Much fun. I'm selling one through Amazon.com (but you can probably
find it cheaper through abebooks, even though it's out of print. ;) )

Say, we should have a party section on the site, or at least on the
forums...hmmm.
