---------1---------2---------3---------4---------5---------6----- Girls Birthday Party Activity The ad said, "Make your child's next birthday a fun, exciting, entertaining and uniquely unforgettable event. Use "Real Dinosaurs" as the featured attraction! Have a true Jurassic experience at your home by contacting DinosaursRock(r) for details. Kids Love it!" But now they have added a special activity just for girls! In a prior article entitled "What's more important in a family? Kid's or Finances?" there was a reference to girls saying," (Sorry girls, it's not that "Opa Bert" isn't thinking about you, it's just the way things come up. I promise I'll have something exciting for you very soon. My 13 and 3-year-old grand daughters would never forgive me otherwise.)." Well now it's time for me to keep my promise. I did "Sticks and Stones to earn Awards" for the boys in Cub Scouts so here's the activity for little girls to rival the fun the boys are having. How about a "Girls Jewelry Party"? ..... Yawn ... wait ... Wait! This isn't what you think. It's not the standard discount store costume jewelry. Neither is it the high end specialty items that cost your life savings. (How much life savings does a 5 to 11 year old have anyway?) You can't buy this jewelry anywhere. Each piece is personalized and unique. Each "Jewelry Party" item is hand made and is a reflection of its owner because unlike jewelry designed by others, this jewelry is designed and crafted at the "All Girls Jewelry Party" by the girls at the party. Now that I have your full attention again, let me explain how this girl's jewelry party came about. The concept for an "All Girls Jewelry Party" began when the folks at DinosaurBirthdayParty.com/ and DinosaurParty.net/ noticed that most girls participating in a dinosaur theme event were more interested in the rocks, minerals and gemstones being presented than the dinosaur fossils. Even though girls enjoy becoming junior paleontologist during a party fossil dig, finding a sparkling mineral or bright gemstone had more appeal than a piece of fossilized dinosaur bone or petrified wood. (I wonder why the girls don't seem to want to wear the hard hats?) This lead to the creation of the "DinosaursRock(r) Gems and Minerals Mining Company" events that actually include a dual waterfall "rushing water sluice" complete with water wheel where kids can discover an unbelievable array of "Genuine Gemstones" and Beautiful Minerals. Needless to say "Panning for Gems and Minerals" as a birthday party event turned out to be a big hit with both children and parents alike. The expressions of awe and glee upon finding a rough semi-precious gemstones or minerals is unforgettable and inspiring. Imagine what it must be like for a child to find a Ruby, Emerald, Topaz, Peridot, Aquamarine, Tourmaline, Garnet, Tiger Eye, Rose Quartz, Sodalite, Adventurine, Blue, Red, Orange or Green Calcite crystal, Amethyst, Citrine, Pyrite, Agates, Quartz, even Genuine GOLD, and get to keep their find. Now that's a real goodie bag you wont get at just any old birthday party. The popularity of the "DinosaursRock(r) Gems and Minerals Mining Company" events has been so great that now even shopping malls and other commercial venues are booking this as a traffic generating promotion. However, the folks at DinosaursRock(r) didn't feel that just panning for gems and minerals was special enough for girls. They wanted to something that could be done exclusively as an all girls birthday party event. And so, the Gems Rock(tm) Jewelry-Making Party for girls 5 to 11 was created. In keeping with their primary objective to make the birthday party a fun, exciting, entertaining, educational and uniquely unforgettable event, this program not only focuses on simply making jewelry that could easily match and surpass comparable store bought items, it includes: * A Glittering Crystal-filled Exhibit of Amazing Rocks, * A display of Minerals and Gemstones along with, * A highly interactive Educational & Entertaining Presentation. * Demonstrations on magical magnetic rock, * Fluorescent Minerals & the "X-ray" Rock(tm). * Insights into Gemstones like Rubies, Emeralds and more. When word gets out about what goes on at a Gems Rock(tm) "All Girls Jewelry-Making Party", even the boys will be looking for an invitation!
