Whether your little one has a birthday during the summer, or if you just want an opportunity to gather your child's friends, summer is a great time to host a party.  Don't forget to let your children help with preparations like selecting a theme and preparing food - and consider doing craft projects at the party. Kid-made crafts make great take-a-ways and are a cool way to keep kids entertained while gaining a new skill.

Here are a few summer party ideas:
