Birthday party ideas: Dots

Toss balls into coloured bins for points and prizes.

Fill a polka-dotted container with beads and supplies for kids to make their own jewellery.

Use dotted paper and round cut-outs to make a pretty flower.

Make an 8 in (20 cm) round layer cake and ice entirely with pink-tinted vanilla buttercream. Use pink, blue and brown round candies as polka dots over the top and sides of the cake. Tie a polka dot ribbon around the bottom edge of cake.
