Help! I need birthday party ideas for 5 yo. We're on the UWS. The place I wanted to do it (Museum of Natural History) can't do it on his bday and the next day is his best friend's birthday. I think it will be overkill for a large group of overlapping kids. All ideas much appreciated!!! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

It is a small space (although I think she can also do it at your apartment), but Sarah is wonderful and really entertains the kids without talking down to them at all and they do all sorts of science experiments, make goop, etc. Her website is: http://www.scienceteachersarah.com/ [ Reply | More
