Themed Parties

Birthday excitement begins with themed parties. Themed parties focus ideas for decorations, games, activities and food preparation. The key to creating the best experience comes from planning a birthday party. When planning a birthday party pick a theme that works for your child’s age and personality. Keep parties to no more than 90 minutes for preschoolers and 2 to 3 hours for school-age kids and teens. While you are deciding on a party theme idea, involve your child in the process. Watch for clues (excitement in their eyes) when you suggest certain themes.

Themed Parties

If your child already has a favorite story character, color, animal or activity these are helpful to include as you select a theme idea.

Asteroid Belt: A great indoor game for younger children. Before the party inflate several balloons. When it is time to play have the children form a circle. Toss the asteroids (balloons) in the air and the children have to keep the asteroids from hitting the earth.
