Birthday Party Ideas for Kids

  • Get the day started right by setting up surprises the night before. Stickers can be strategically placed on shoes, cereal bowls, toothbrush and backpack. Put a post-it note on the bathroom mirror that reads "Good Morning, Birthday Person!"
  • Give them a bag of lollipops or candy to share with their friends to help celebrate their birthday.
  • Instead of giving a card with a big present, put it in their backpack with a toy or stuffed animal. It's a good way of brightening up their school day.
  • Since they usually check their inbox when they get home, have a special e-card waiting just for them.
  • If you're going to be traveling on their birthday, decorate your car with signs and balloons. It's sure to get a lot of attention and honks from other drivers.
  • If you're going to be out of town on their special day, hide a few cards and small gifts before you leave. When you're on the phone together, guide them and tell them if they're getting "warmer" or "colder."
  • If you're going to be out of town on the days leading up to a birthday, send a series of cards counting down the days to the birthday. Send Hallmark e-cards or use Hallmark Social Calendar to send virtual gifts on Facebook.
  • Inspire your child to give back. On birthday party invitations, request that guests bring items for donation to a charity. You can also mark the occasion by giving a donation to a charity of the child's choosing.

End the day in the very best way. Say I love you.
