Pool Noodle Cactus Kids Craft

If there will be kids at your Cinco de Mayo party, it is a great idea to have a craft set up for them so that they can be busy while the adults are having fun. All you need are green pool noodles, tooth pics, fake flowers, a flowerpot, and rocks. Have the kids fill the flower post with the rocks, stick the toothpicks in the noodle to make the noodle resemble a cactus, and then put the noodle in the flowerpot. If they want, they can also add the fake flowers to the pot or on the noodle. This Craft is super easy and it will keep the kids at your party busy! 

Other Tips and Tricks

-Having a piñata: A piñata is fun for your party because all your guests will love competing to break it. This takes us all back to childhood birthday parties, have your guests wear a blindfold when they try and hit the piñata.  

-Music/dancing: Have upbeat music playing. This will keep your guests awake, excited and in a good mood. You can even dedicate a part of your party to a salsa dancing competition! Make sure to have prizes for the best dancers!
