Five Ways to Make Your Kids Birthday Party Even Better

Birthday parties create memories that will last a lifetime, and you undoubtedly want to make the experience extra special for your child.  Consider these helpful hints to get your planning underway.  A little bit of creative thinking can ensure that everyone has a great time on your child’s big day.

Bring on the Balloons Don’t be stingy when it comes to balloons.  They are inexpensive and well worth the investment.  So, the more the merrier.  The kids will certainly think so.  Fill the dance floor with them, or use helium and cover the ceiling.  Fill some with confetti, select different colors and different sizes to fill the space, or release them while singing ‘Happy Birthday’.

Arts And Crafts Stations When planning a party for young kids, you have to be prepared to keep up with short attention spans.  That’s why we recommend crafting station for kids who like to create.  There are millions of kids’ craft ideas online, so select a few and set up a table for each activity.  You can ask that each child visit each table in order, or let them choose their own path throughout the event.

Dance Routine Party Rather than just playing music and leaving space open at the party venue for dancing, step it up a notch by inviting all of the kids to spend time with a dance instructor during the party.  Kids like music, and they love to dance, but it can be intimidating to take to the empty dance floor.  If everyone is participating in creating a dance routine, all are free to have fun without being in the unwanted spotlight.

Balls, Balls, And More Balls Please choose the soft and squishy ones, of course. It’s like a child’s dream come true, though, to be in the middle of a room filled with colorful balls that can be tossed, kicked, and caught.  You will be amazed at how many games children can come up with when presented with such a room.
