subject: Unique Ideas For Children's Birthday Parties [print this page] As parents of young children, it is important to cherish the years that your child actually wants to celebrate their birthday. Time spent with friends and family are the things memories are made of. Planning a fun and engaging birthday for your child is not only a fun event for them and their friends, but it can also lead to fond memories in the future.
There are many traditional ideas for children's birthday parties that seem to appeal to most children. Hiring clowns or magicians, renting a bouncy castle, and throwing a cowboy or princess themed party are all very common party ideas. These tend to be safe bets, but do not appeal to all children and will likely be done at one of their friend's birthday parties. Rather than focusing on the theme or one small aspect that will momentarily hold a child's attention, try focusing more on the main party activity.
For a truly unique party, consider having an activity that most children are not accustomed to. For instance, why not bake a very large or tiered cake and let the children ice and / or decorate the cake with tubes of icing and candy or cookie bits? Another great idea is to make individual desserts, such as cookies or cupcakes and letting the children decorate their own dessert.
For the most unique party, consider hiring the services of a traveling petting zoo or pony ride. Petting zoos can be transported to your home and can come with anything from 6 to 12 small animals. Petting zoos can include the animals that you would see at a traditional petting zoo, such as small goats and pot bellied pigs. However, there are also educational zoos, bunny zoos, safari zoos, reptile zoos, and much more to choose from.
The best thing about a petting zoo at a party is that it will appeal to all children. These animals are completely safe and tame, allowing children to safely pet, hold, and play with them. If a child shies away from a goat, they may be much more likely to play with the bunnies or other small animals available. Even if a child finds themselves hesitant to touch or play with the animals, they will be intrigued watching the animals play and interact with one another and with the other children.
For a truly unique birthday idea, focus more on the activity of the party, rather than the theme. Search online to see what your area offers.
