To take advantage of the last days of autumn, we planned an outdoor Halloween party at our family farm. This .....

Need a few birthday tips and ideas for the next birthday party

in your household? Here's a variety of suggestions that we think

will help you make your child's birthday party fun, special and

easy for you.



Birthday Party Tips for the Young and the Young at Heart

Your child's birthday party should be a fun and memorable

experience for your child and for his or her guests. Here's how

you can pull it off:







* Let your child choose the theme of her birthday party and be

actively involved in the planning stages of the event. Have her

write the invitations if she is able.

* Have your child greet each guest at the door. This will help

her guests feel welcome and will help her learn how to be a

great hostess.



* Have a birthday party table or counter space available for the

presents. Ideally this place should be a place where all of the

guests can sit comfortably and see your child open the presents.



* If you order a pizza or another 'hot food item' leave it in

the oven before the guests are ready to eat.



* Avoid games, which leave some of the guests with nothing to

do. A birthday party can be a nightmare if one of the guests is

unhappy. If your child insists on playing a game from this

genre, provide additional activities which the guests can do

while they are waiting for the game to end.



* If you plan on making a birthday party craft with the guests,

make sure you create a prototype, for the guests to see and for

you to gauge the difficulty level of the craft before the

birthday party begins.



* When opening gifts make sure that your child acknowledges who

has given her each gift and that she thanks every guest.



* A party favor or a goody bag is a nice way to end birthday

parties. Your child can say goodbye to each guest with these

items.



* Book special events in advance. (i.e. Children's museums,

Pizza Parlors, Arcades, Fun Houses, Tumble Bus Birthday Parties,

etc.



Birthday Party Games and Activities for Children Ages

2-12 Birthday party themes, games and activities are perhaps

the most memorable parts of your child's special day. Here are

some ideas that will make your child remember her birthday party

for a long time to come:







1) For the scientific child, help her to set up a series of fun

science experiments that all of the guests can participate in.

For a treat, serve the guests green sherbet with cream soda or

ginger ale.







2) For the 'fashionista' in your life, divide the guests into

two teams and have them race to put on designated outfits and

accessories. Once they put the clothes on they must quickly walk

or run down a run-way and pose for a picture. (You might need

other parents or family members to help with this one). This is

a birthday party she will never forget!

3) For older children, play '1-100'. This game requires 2 dice,

one piece of paper and a pencil or a pen for each guest. Have

each guest write his or her name on the piece of paper leaving

space to write 1-100 below the name. Then, the birthday girl

gets to choose someone to go first. The chosen individual will

role the dice and if he or she does not get doubles then he or

she will pass the dice to the next player. If however, the first

player does get doubles then he or she will begin to write 1, 2,

3, 4,.......etc. under until another player roles doubles. The

dice will continue around the table and when the dice returns to

the first player and he or she gets doubles again then that

player would begin where he or she left off. Whoever gets to 100

first, wins!



Birthday Party Gifts and Surprises Birthday gifts and

surprises don't have to include Barbies and Gameboys. They can

also include the following:







* Ballet Classes



* Gymnastics

Classes



* Sports Equipment



* A Mini-Trip



* A Trip to a Space Museum with Mom or Dad



* Breakfast in Bed

YOU! Give your kids the gift of time.
