My daughter will be having her 8th birthday and wants to have an "Earth Themed" birthday party..PLEASE HELP!?

My soon-to-be 8 yr. old was born on Earth Day is wants to have an Earth-themed birthday this year. She's crazy about saving the whales, the trees/plants, animals, and taking care of our Earth. I'd love to have some creative ideas for crafts/fun for her friends at her party. We'll probably have it at the park or if its raining, at my aunts banquet hall (she owns her own catering business). A few ideas my friends have given me are: *Make a round paper mache piniata (I have no idea on where to go or how to make my own) *Make Earth shaped rice krispie treats using blue and green food coloring by putting food coloring into the melted marshmallows and then shaping the 2 colors together. *I'd love to be able to make a sheet cake w/an actual round 3-D Earth sitting on the top either made of cake or maybe use a round styrofoam ball from a craft store and then ice it w/frosting (not sure if the frosting would stay or not). *Plant some seeds in small flower pots or plastic pails and have them paint/decorate them *Possibly have the kids decorate the own Earth Day tshirts *Earth themed scavenger hunt (either have them hunt for various hidden pieces of trash and then when they're finished w/the hunt, have them recycle them into the correct bins...glass, plastic, paper, etc.) and reward them w/a small tree to plant at home or flowers? ***I don't want to go overboard but I still want it to be fun for them too. ***IDEAS PLEASE!*** ***WEBSITE LINKS FOR IDEAS WOULD BE GREAT TOO!***

1. Hi!! Wow, your kid is awesome for wanting to have an earth themed b-day party. Okay, well you could have them do the Earth themed scavenger hunt. What you could do is take them to a park, and make a list of 10 things they need to find. :-) You could also have a relay races at the park to, or a game of "Trashketball". Trashketball is when you give them a piece of trash that can be recycled, and have them try to throw it in a recycling bin. You could also have a drawing contest for who can draw the best Earth. Hope the kids have fun!! CC
