Try some or all of these ideas to host a great Luau Party:

1. Post Hula Girl Balloon Signs on your front lawn or walkway to welcome your guests to your "private luau". As they enter your door, greet them with a Beach or Tropical Scene Setter. Use Tiki Torch, Palm Tree or Surfboard add-ons to complete the picture.

2. Hang a Tropical Door decorator on your door, then hang Flamingo and Prismatic Sun balloons. Dot your walls with an assortment of Plastic Fish and place Inflatable Palm Trees and Tiki Poles at various places in your party room. Hang Natural Fish Netting from the four corners of the ceiling. Then place Beach Sign Cutouts on the walls for a finishing touch.

3. For the table, use a Raffia Flower or a Flowered Table Skirt. Put a Luau Photo Centerpiece in the middle of the table. Put colorful Hawaiian party plates,cups, napkins and utensils on the table, too. For the cake or cupcakes, bake a vanilla cake and frost it with vanilla, blue (ocean), or yellow (sun) frosting. Put Sunglasses in the middle of the cake. Put Hula Girl candles around the sunglasses. Use Tiki Bowls or Platters or Fish or Pineapple Serving Dishes to serve fresh fruit, chips and other snacks.

4. When the kids start arriving for the party, you can hand them each a Flower Garland and a flowered or raffia Hula Skirt. Then, set out Hawaiian Girl coloring pages for the kids to color while they wait for everyone to arrive.

5. Once everyone arrives, play "Bobbing For Seashells." Fill a big bucket up with water. Then, fill it with lots of floating items: rubber Duckies, rubber balls, plastic seashells,etc. Then have all the children line up. Each child will take turns trying to pick up something out of the bucket or tub with their mouths only. No hands. Time the kids for about 30 seconds. They have to try to pick something up before time run out. If they do, they can keep the item. Or give the winners (or all the participants) an Inflatable Parrot, a Tropical Bandanna or Genuine Maracas.

6. "Hula Freeze Dance." Use a c.d. player and a Luau CD or Hula Party Music for the soundtrack. When the music starts, all the kids will start dancing in a Hawaiian kind of way. But when the music stops, they freeze wherever they are. Then, you or someone else can look at all the poses the kids are in. You can pick which one you like the most. That one will then be "it" until everyone has been picked. Then you can give them all a "Let's Hula" Balloon.

7. Bring out a Tropical Pinata--filled with a mix of pinata candy, Sunburst Danglers, Puca Shell Necklaces, Wrist Bands, Foam Visors and Mini Neon Caracas.

8. For party bags, you can use luau party bags. Or use brown paper bags and let the kids decorate their own. Let them use flower stickers, fake flowers, etc. After they are done decorating, fill the party bags with Sunglasses, tropical balloons,Photo Cutouts, White Plastic Seashells and fruity candies. Try some or all of these ideas for a memorable Hawaiian Party!

You've discovered cartooning and now you want to teach yourself how to draw cartoons of those little children. You'd like to capture those funny stances that kids take up - like when staring into a pond or river looking for the fish. Or maybe it's one of those children's expressions that spread infectiously across their face. The one that makes you smile too!

I hope you are taking the trouble to do a little practice every day - even if it is a little as drawing some simple shapes for a few moments. Getting your lines to flow well and smoothly is the first technique to master.

Before going on do remember that drawing cartoons is not a search for representative likeness, but the capturing of the essence of a picture in as few lines and colors as possible. This doesn't mean that they are achieved easily, as identifying that essence and capturing it well are real skills. All it takes is a bit of practice correctly carried through.

But the practice needs direction and that comes from careful and analytical observation. When you are training yourself pick a single topic for a practice session. Depending upon your choice you could pick the overall impressions, face shapes, hands (some find this tricky), feet or specific features such as noses or eyes.

Drawing cartoon of children set specific challenges.

Firstly, note the difference in the body proportions of a kid compared to a grown up. Kids have a significantly larger head in proportion to their torso size and the cartoonist does well to exaggerate that. It sends a clear message to your viewers that this is a kid.

Take a careful look at the next baby you see and note how short the arms and legs are compared to the length of the torso. At the age of a few months they are very short and over the coming years they lengthen to reach the adult proportions. Again this is an indication of age to your viewer and needs to be in harmony with your other proportions.

Next, children have smoother skin than older people. Use gentle curves and minimal lines to get your effect. No wrinkles here, but maybe a few freckles to complement that impish grin?

One of the beauties of cartooning is that you can play games with these proportions. At an extreme the caricaturist draws a head and face that is enormous compared to the body size as that's the bit that's important to them. But generally the rest of the body is on proportion to itself, even though still tiny compared to the head. As you become skilled you will discover for yourself where you can play games like this to suit your own style.

Remember, the more you practice the easier it is and the better you become. As you work on a new bit you may take a step or two backwards, but do not be discouraged. That backwards step is the platform for the next leap forwards. Do a little every day - but set yourself a purpose every session.

Betta fish are one of the coolest fresh water fish you could purchase. You can find them in so many different colors and breeds. This article will be discussing the importance of Betta fish care and the techniques used to care for them. Enjoy.

When you first purchase a Beta, you must figure out a safe way to transport it back to your home. Unfortunately, this is the step that so many people do incorrectly. They walk out to their care, put the Beta in the trunk, and drive home. What do you think is going to happen here? This is a very common reason for Betta's dying before they even arrive at their new home. Don't be one of these people. Take the time to care for them properly by keeping them up front with you. You'll be surprised at how much easier it is to keep them healthy and happy when you are in the picture.

The tank setup will be the next step you will be participating in. A good tank will be at least five gallons, and free of any dangerous material. A big mistake that people make all the time is to just throw their Beta in a fish bowl. Here's the problem. Betta fish are from a large tropical climate. They are used to water temperatures that are well up into the high 90's. So, if you just put them in a fish bowl, you will essentially be sacrificing their lives. They won't last more than a month in most cases.

There are some accessories that you must purchase to ensure that your pet fish is happy and living a long life. A water heater is the first thing that you should get. Since these fish are from tropical climates, you must keep the water temperature for Betta fish around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If they are exposed to cooler temperatures for a long period of time, they will most likely die an early death.

Plants and rocks can be a great addition to any fish tank. If you decide to get your own plants, be sure to look for the most environmentally friendly plants. This will keep Betta diseases at a minimum. When you are using rocks, keep in mind that you will want to wash them at least every 2-3 weeks. Again, you don't want your Beta fish dying from a disease.

Food is obviously important as well. However, many people over feed their fish. Did you know that Beta fish can live up to several weeks without eating? I would not recommend that you discover this for yourself. But I would recommend that you keep their food intake low. Feeding them every two days is the best way to go about it.

The tips above will help you ensure that your pet Betta live a long and happy life. I hope that you have the best of luck with your new found friend.
