Handmade Columbus Day Party Favors

The Columbus Day can be most effectively celebrated when the children are also educated the significance of the festival and through making great homemade party favors. Getting personally engaged into handmade party supplies would also let children memorize various facts and figures relevant to the Columbus Day and won’t find it boring.

Some of the most accepted Columbus Day homemade party favors include paper Mache globes, Christopher Columbus style hats and egg chip ships of Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria. Another great handmade party favor could be that of a world map for the year 1492. Do some researches on how the map looked like on Columbus Day, then take a large sheet of paper and outline the map using paints, markers and other art materials. To give it a conventional look, sprinkle some coffee onto it before drawing out the map. Another way to encourage children to actively participate in art related to Columbus Day would be making use of ship mosaics. Children can use pattern blocks to make a ship. After designing the homemade party favor, they can trace around the blocks through a pencil, followed by a black marker or a crayon. Then have them fill the blocks with different colors, cut the borderline of their ship mosaic and stick them with glue on the construction paper sheet.

Columbus Day is celebrated once in a year, when many people tend to add handmade party favors to make it a lovely atmosphere for the guests. Many also giveaway mini engraved American flags with an imprinted card to the winners of the game contests organized at the party.
