Preparing for the ideal party for your child can be tough to do.
To make the event exciting and unique, choose a theme that your youngster loves like an animals, games, sports or even school subjects.
If your youngster loves cats, turn your house into a feline adventure with everything cat related from decorations to games.
You can make hairs and ears and tape them to cups to make them into kittens.
For the young ones you can make collars with name tags and kitten paws from socks and adhesive-backed pink felt.
The children will love a cat cake and balloons decorated to appear like cats too.
You can simply use these ideas for any animal based party such as fish or anything else you can think of.
If playing games are what your youngster likes, the game Twister can make for a fun and colourful celebration bash! Polka-dot your house and watch as the children twist the day away.
Decorate the house with enormous dots in the 4 Twister colours, made out of construction paper.
Stick the decorations to the floor and walls with painting tape so they're simply removed without residue.
Make a square cake, decorate with white icing and make it seem like a Twister game with rolled-out fruit snacks! Of course, have the children play the game Twister to round out the days activities.
Other games to consider are 'bingo', 'I spy' and any other board games your family enjoys.
Here in Minneapolis, sports themed birthday parties are always very talked-about, and you can simply choose from any team sport to make a great party.
To have the party at home, make sports themed snacks like cookies that look like football balls, and matching decorations.
Have a uniform for each child to wear with their name on it, and choose games that are sports related to bring things together.
Don't forget the cake design too, and you may even dress up and act like a umpire while throwing the party too.
When it comes to something totally special for party ideas, don't forget school! You can make many educational subjects into cool birthday parties with a little imagination.
Make all the kids at the birthday party into scientists for some learning fun.
Use huge white dress shirts for lab coats, make cool looking nametags for all the guests and also give out protective goggles to complete the look.
Mix up some silly treat concoctions in clear plastic beakers, and then let the children experiment with water coloured with food colourising and eye droppers.
A make-your-own sundae station will be a major hit with all kinds of different toppings to be put on top of ice cream inside plastic beakers.
Another fun academic idea can be music and others as well.
If you want to get out of the house for the event, there are lots of special places where you can host a birthday celebration for groups big and little.
You can bring the entire gang bowling, to an indoor playground, or have a sports themed birthday party any time of year at an indoor facility with instructors to lead the kids through activities, cake and pizza and everything else.
Ensure that when you're planning your celebration that you keep in mind the vital funky birthday t-shirts to really set the stage before the children even arrive.
Putting together a fun theme for your childs' birthday can seem overwhelming at first, but with a little work you can make it happen.
