    • freeze tag, decorate cookies/cupcakes, maybe a pinata?

    • you could hire a clown. we did for $175 which is cheap in the clown world. some crazies want to charge $500.

    • Rather than spend on entertainment, you could instead buy a few things: get an inflatable plastic pool, fill it up with plastic balls--instant ball pit. Duplex legos in one corner perhaps. A few plastic trikes or cars if you can get someone to loan them to you. And a plastic slide/gym set. And big balls to roll around.

        • Party for up to 10 runs about $500. CMOM does a wonderful job. You sit back and relax and they do it all for you. Including getting the cake.

        • this doesn't take long. 3yos are easy and only 6 is no problem at all. Fresh direct for food. If you don't mind paying extra, order toys for 2-day delivery (assuming it's a weekend party?). Or if you have a car, drive out to big toysrus and get balls, etc. You could also have a book-read-aloud party and give out books and coloring books.

    • art projects, like decorating hats, bags, treasure boxes; pin the tale on the donkey; carnival type games for prizes; food from food emporium (they deliver at a precise time, not a window and food is really good).
