Cowboy and Indians Party
How to have a "Cowboys and Indians" theme birthday for kids

Kids parties don't have to rely on Disney themes. You can host a classic kids party
with a Cowboys and Indians theme to transport imaginations to yesteryear. A retro
cool party featuring Native American fun is just the thing for your Little Big Horn's
birthday and here are some ideas for a Cowboy and Indians party to get you started:

Head West to Amazon. As kids parties go, a cowboy and Indians party is a
classic theme for a birthday, it's even featured on the cover of "Great Parties for
Kids" by Rose Hammick and Charlotte Packer, left, sold on Amazon. This book is
filled with recipes and ideas for a classic Cowboy and Indians birthday for kids.
The authors present fail-safe schemes for fabulous parties for kids aged one to
ten. And there are more Cowboy and Indians party supplies on Amazon.

Gather up one little, two little, three little Indian boys and girls. Kids in the mid
century played Cowboys and Indians, long before the term "Native American"
came to play, and naturally a Cowboys and Indians theme makes for a great
party as the kids will be acting out scenes from old Westerns. The Indian
braves and squaws will love the party you create with tee pees, tomahawks,
pintos, feathers and maybe a cowboy or two. The squaws can make friendship
bracelets, and the braves can enact rain dances and practice their archery. The
little outlaws will love tall tales of the wild west, and cowboys and Indians
riding horses.

Cowboy and Indian Party Foods

Forget the Sioux-Sioux Sushi! Leave the fish fingers behind, Beef Jerky is on the
menu for this party theme. And bring on the cowboy steaks or burgers.

Serve an Apache Appetizer: Well, it's probably not Apache approved, but you can
have a fun native American themed appetizer when you craft a tee-pee from a
flour tortilla and some large stick pretzels. This display looks fantastic on the
traditional American layered bean dip (refried beans, cheese, guacomole, and
sour cream) for tortilla chips.

How long with they last? The Native American cookies pictured left, will have
them performing a cookie dance for more.

Games for a Cowboy and Indians Party

Set up a real tee pee. The six-foot tee pee, pictured right, is made of durable
cotton canvas and is both water- and fire-resistant. It will provide hours of fun.
Decorate it with oil or water based paints.
