Planning a party for a kid can sometimes be a big headache if you are not up to the task. In this article you will find how Aunt Susan turns this big headache into a big joy and fun for all the party kids. Are you ready to play a game with her?

Back in the living room, after the feast, when we oldsters normally became drowsy and the youngsters fussy or boisterous as their temperaments dictated, Aunt Susan roused us all with a suggestion. She reminded us that as Puritans we still had our houses to build. These forebears of ours were self-sufficient as far as building materials were concerned. They were thrifty too.
