How to throw a rainbow-themed birthday party

Organizing a fête in technicolour is easy—all you need are some basic dollar store supplies. To start, cut coloured paper into small squares and separate by hue on paper plates. Draw the outline of a rainbow on a large sheet of paper and tape it to the wall or floor. Invite guests to wear their favourite colour, and then group your little visitors into colour teams. Have each team fill out a section of the rainbow by gluing the paper squares to the rainbow outline. Tip: Decorate your rainbow with odds and sods: Use construction paper, tissue paper, flyers and even old ticket stubs.
