Q. My 3 year old daughter is having a camp theme party and want to decorate so you really feel like you are camping
Answer
Make a large wooden sign at the entrance to the "Camp Site" and have other signs pointing the way to the toilets and showers, picnic area and wildlife trail.
Set the tents around a central seating area with the campfire as a centerpiece. Lay out low benches for sitting on or just use mats or planks of wood balanced on rocks.
Decorate the inside of the tents with streamers and balloons
Around the edges of the camp, erect some citronella torches. These will keep the bugs away and add to the camp atmosphere.
Place cuddly toys in the tress and bushes for the younger kids to discover or for the older kids, hang plastic bugs around the camp. Use glow in the dark bugs and stars which will be fun later on when it gets dark.
Hang multi colored Chinese lanterns around the garden. Some kids just can't help playing with candles so be careful where you place them.
Set up a food table and cover with green or camouflage cloth. Use plastic tableware or tin plates and cups. Provide bug stickers for each child to personalize his/her own plate and mug. It saves muddling them up.
You can also add:
Bug stickers and tattoes
T-shirts with the name of the camp and date of the birthday camping party

How are you supposed to clean billiard balls?
Two Dogs T
In the past I have used windex or something when I needed to clean them. The balls I have, came with my table and were made around 1970. I want to make sure I am taking care of them properly. A friend also suggested that I put them in the dishwasher.
Answer
Soap leaves residue!
There are a bunch of different devices and products suggested for cleaning and shining pool balls, especially the cue ball. To get a real shine, you are going to need some elbow grease and some hard buffing. Some companies sell billiard ball polishers, and they run about $50 dollars. There are some industrial ball cleaners that run upwards of $500.
There is a product made specially for this, called "Tiger Ball Cleaner/Polisher".
I just clean them on occasion with Windex, and it worked pretty well, but never use abrasive cleaners on them. I've also heard of people using dish soap too, saying that it works better on billiard balls than regular soap, but you risk leaving residue.
You can also try a vibrating rock polisher. ($110)

Tiger Ball Cleaner/Polisher: $9.95 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OWP23O?ie=UTF8&tag=ipodvideosour-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000OWP23O
Spray some "Fantastik" household cleaner onto a clean terrycloth towel and polish away. Buff it up with a dry section of the towel and your balls will be as good as new.

Personally, I'd opt for the Tiger Ball Cleaner/Polisher if I couldn't get to a pool hall or pro shop to have them cleaned properly by machine.
Good Luck -
