Clean up broken glass quickly and efficiently.

Every kid party comes with its casualties — especially if it's in your home — which includes (but is not limited to) broken glass. The safest way to clean up broken glass is with a slice of bread. It "absorbs" the glass shards that you can't see and ensures that your fingers won't get pricked and those bare little kid feet won't get anything lodged in them.

Cake mix + can of soda = most delicious cake ever.

Spruce up a store-bought cake.

Confine crafting to baking trays.

Don't forget to floss.

Make place settings fun with disposable utensils.

Keep cake fresh with slices of bread.

Cut the middle of the cake, then push the leftovers together to keep fresh.

Clean up broken glass quickly and efficiently.

Cover the arts and crafts workspace with paper, a plastic tablecloth, or plastic wrap for easy cleanup.

Get free birthday treats for your child.

Prescoop ice cream the night before.

Create a ballon drop.

Let them eat cupcakes — the mess-free way.

Or make kid-size cupcake kebabs.

Put confetti into clear balloons to match any theme.

Make your own ice cream sandwiches.

If the party's at your house and you're beyond baby-proofing, make temporary fixes.

Bake brownies in a waffle maker.

Slice watermelon for little hands.
