My daughter who is about to be six wanted a carnival party wanted something basic as its the middle of the winter. was wondering if anybody knows of places to rent maybe a few games and like a cotton candy machine or whatever else to have for a carnival. Looking for places around north jersey or who will deliver in north jersey. Or a place where i can buy the stuff really cheap. I need any ideas for games, prizes food and what not for an indoor carnival party for a six year old in the winter thanks so much.
Answer
Make a ton of microwavable popcorn and put it in cheap paper bags.
You could decorate with red and yellow streamers, starting from a center point of the roof, fanning out and coming down the walls like a circus tent.
Stand up a few short poles or chairs and have the kids throw hula hoops over them to win prizes
Bobbing for apples
Pass the parcel
Throwing beanbags or balls into buckets
Throw confetti everywhere for color and the kids can play with it
Hotdogs, cupcakes, corndogs, burgers, fries, soft drink, candy, party finger food, cordial, you can get it all at costco
DIY cupcake stand - supply iced cupcakes and a range of lollies and sprinkles for them to put on top
You could hire a juggler or clown (lots of kids are scared of clowns, keep that in mind)
The two first links are NJ party hire sites and the 3rd is paper popcorn bags, hopefully this helps some.

What to make out blankets?

i have old blankets and i am thinking to make something out of them what should i do?
Answer
I really love DIY <3
You could always clean the blankets and give them away, but since you're looking to make something out of them there are a couple of fun things you could try.
Before anything though just take two factors into consideration: a) do you have a plain blanket [so something that is either pure white or close to it], or is it patterned, coloured or both? and b) what is the material of your blanket [thick, thin, silk, etc.]
Then do a google search accordingly to get more accurate results. So if you happen to have a plain fleece blanket then do a search, like: new use for old fleece blanket or reusing fleece blankets
If it's flexible enough you could always make pillows out of them. This is even easier if your blankets happen to be coloured or patterned; then you'll have a type of accessory that would perfectly match your room or add an interesting accent to it.
If it's absolutely plain you can have fun decorating the pillow. You could do something like stitching on a different fabric or a design. You could also paint on it. This is one idea that will definitely get you inspired to experiment: http://www.radicalpossibility.com/2012/06/zero-effort-tie-dye-pillows.html
You could also mount your blanket onto the wall. One idea you can do that just came to mind: buy square frames and then cut strips of your blanket into the matching size. Pin it down or stich it onto a very thick fabric that will likely hold the blanket in place or glue it onto a thick paper, then place it into your frame. Or you could even make it into one big tapestry.
You could reuse your blanket to design a plain wooden hamper. I can't think of a technique to do that right now but I'm sure if you went on google and did a search you'll find plenty of DIY videos. You could even do that with any boxes or cupboards you have. Like if you have small wooden boxes, you can use the blanket for lining and then use these boxes to store things in them, whether they're things like your shoes and shirts or smaller ones such as make-up brushes (you can accent the make-up brush holder with a cloth ribbon). You could do this too with thick colourful boxes if you don't want the wood or don't have the wooden ones.
You could even use the old blanket to perhaps make cozies or other accessories for the kitchen. Perhaps mug mats if it's thick enough? Or if you have a pet, cut it to the desired size and use it for their own blanket, pillow, bed lining, etc.
If you have any kids (your own, your siblings, your niece(s)/nephew(s)) you could make a small little blanket just for them, like a knotted one. Or you could even let them borrow it for dramatic play whether to use as a cape, to make their own 'tent' or even for a picnic. On that note, if the fabric is suitable you could use it for picnics or if you go to the beach.
That's all I could think of really, but I'm sure if you did a more specific search you'll definitely stumble across even more creative ideas :)
Edit:
I just realized you could reuse the blanket as a bed cover :p
Edit 2:
Place mats for food, dish rags, towels for washing or dusting.
