5 Fun party ideas for toddlers & preschoolers
1. Have a big birthday treasure hunt
Toddlers and preschoolers love to use their imagination and work together to find hidden treasure.
Why not create a birthday treasure hunt, with a hand-drawn treasure map and tokens made from old magazines or cardboard boxes.
You could theme the hunt around your toddler's or preschooler's interests such as animals, oceans or transport or one of their favourite characters.
Check out our other
treasure hunt ideas
for toddlers and preschoolers too.
2. Create a ‘recycled orchestra’ & play Happy Birthday
Invite your kids friends over to make
musical instruments
using recycled and craft materials.
Perhaps have a go at making these
tin can drums
and
yoyo shakers
too for extra noise!
When you have made your instruments, form an orchestra and create your own version of the ‘Happy Birthday’ song.
3. Decorate cupcakes
Entertain your toddler's or preschooler's guests by getting them to decorate some homemade
cupcakes
using different coloured icing, fruit and other edible decorations.
Let them go wild and see what creations they can come up with. And then let them eat them or take them home in their
party bags
.
If you are not big on baking, just buy some pre-made cupcakes and get the kids to decorate these instead.
4. Create a birthday chair
Why not decorate your toddler's or preschooler's highchair or a dining chair with their favourite things and all sorts of
party supplies
such as balloons, hats, ribbons etc.
Once it's decorated put the birthday chair at the head of the party table for your little one to sit at during food time.
5. Make footprint birthday art
Why not mark this special occasion with a footprint painting activity.
This ‘
Happy Feet
’ article shows you how to create a piece of heart-shaped art from your guests' footprints.
Once the artwork has dried, you can write a special note inside the heart and your guests can take their Happy Feet home as a memento of the party.
