- Let the kids design Jockey silks. There are so many options for this. You could let the kids decorate cotton tee shirts, cut head and arm holes out of a paper bag to be decorated, or make multiple copies of this jockey silk printable and hang them up around the party room.
- Decorate hats
- Set up a craft table where kids can make these horse puppets.
- Mix up some non-alcoholic mint juleps
- Have a contest to see who can make up the silliest name for a race horse
- Play horseshoes
- Ride hobbyhorses (you can find directions to make your own by clicking here)
- Make Derby Pie
- Watch Racing Stripes

GREAT idea!
I forgot all about that movie "Racing Stripes"! Have to check the library for it now!
I might borrow some of those ideas when we get to Kentucky. You are pretty serious about preparing for this event :)
You all do the coolest things!
Hmmmm, now will I actually remember to watch it even with your reminders? That's the question, I love watching it when I do remember.
I don't know if you've had your party yet, but it sounds like a whole lot of fun! I'm sure the kids love(d) it!
I love all of these ideas! (Especially the mint julep.. Yum!)
