Inexpensive and Fun Toddler Birthday Ideas!


Birthday Party Fun!

Here is an idea that my children and their friends always loved! You can make small one-piece chef's aprons out of a piece of cheap fabric or an inexpensive sheet. At the party, let the kids decorate these with fabric pens, and each child takes home what he has made! They will love it!

Here's another thing you can do at the party. After each child has decorated his/her apron, let them make their own individual pizzas (homemade crust is cheap) or some sugar cookies to decorate and take home. Yours will be the most fun party of the year!

Picture a Remembered Birthday

I had a "Barney" party for my son's second birthday. As a party favor, we had a Polaroid picture taken of each child with Barney and put this in their goody bag. It became a prized possession of most of the children attending. That was seven years ago and we still get comments about it.
