2. Farm Animal Party

Celebrate your little one’s second birthday on the farm!

Get animal-themed decorations, like cow and pig cutouts, or a barnyard backdrop for taking pictures. Make some fun farm treats like cow cupcakes or haystacks made out of pretzels. Have a petting zoo with stuffed animals or draw farm animals on a large piece of paper and let your guests color them in.

3. Superhero Party

Transform into a superhero for the day with a fun-filled superhero-themed birthday party.

Decorations like shields and capes will suit your theme perfectly. Have everyone dress up as their favorite superhero. Serve up some snacks like mini pizzas or popcorn in superhero-themed containers.

This is one of the most popular birthday themes for two-year-olds, so don’t overlook it as an option!

4. Cute Tutu Party

For the ballerinas out there, a tutu party is perfect for a second birthday.

You can also set up a craft station where they can make their own tutus out of tulle and ribbons! When it comes to purchasing a tutu dress, you can find a variety of tutus in different colors and styles.

Have fun with this theme by incorporating magical wands, crowns, and sparkles! Just be sure to research before you buy.

5. An Under-The-Sea Party

This is a classic theme for any age but is especially popular with two-year-olds. Get decorations like starfish and seashells, or set up an aquarium corner with colorful fish.

As you might guess, a great place to host this party is at a pool or beach. Have all of your guests dress up as their favorite sea creatures and be sure to have plenty of games and activities like treasure hunts, limbo, and water balloon tosses.

Regardless of the time of year, it’s essential to remember to pack sunscreen to protect your child from harmful UV rays.

6. Petting Zoo

If you have a pet-loving toddler, why not bring the animals to them?

Think of it as a mini zoo filled with pups, kittens, and bunnies. As long as you have someone who can tend to the animals, this is sure to be a hit!

You can also include games like pin the tail on the donkey or a haystack scavenger hunt. Of course, it’s imperative that you have a plan for safely cleaning up after the animals so that your little one doesn’t get sick or injured.

7. Fairytale Party

Have a child who loves fairytales?

Put together a magical party based on their favorite storybook. Decorate with magical wands and crowns or create a castle backdrop for photos. You can make the food fit the theme too by serving up cupcakes shaped like castles, tea party snacks, and plenty of glitter.

What Are Common Mistakes That People Make?

It should come as no surprise that planning a birthday party for a two-year-old can be quite challenging.

Avoiding these obstacles, though, can make the experience better for everybody involved.

Here are some of the most common mistakes people make when planning these parties.

1. Underestimating Costs

Many people underestimate the cost of hosting an elaborate birthday party, failing to recognize that decorations, entertainment, and food all add up quickly. Make sure you plan accordingly and include all necessary costs in your budget.

This will go a long way when it comes to helping you get an idea of what you can expect to spend.

2. Not Considering the Child’s Age

Two-year-olds have very limited attention spans, so make sure to keep activities short and sweet. Try to stay away from complicated tasks that require too much focus or require instructions that are too long for them to understand. Otherwise, they might not be able to fully enjoy the day.

3. Trying to Do Too Much in One Day

Don’t overwhelm your guest of honor by trying to schedule too many activities into one party.

Set realistic expectations for the event and stick to them to avoid disappointment or fatigue. If you aren’t sure which activities to focus on, simply choose the ones that your child would enjoy the most.

4. Not Considering Safety Precautions

Safety should always come first when hosting a party for a two-year-old.

Be sure to consider any potential hazards and take the necessary precautions before inviting guests over. These could include supervising children at all times, checking decorations for sharp edges or loose parts, and avoiding food with allergens.

Birthday Themes for 2-Year-Olds Don’t Have to Be Difficult

Blush Pink and Pastel Green Ice Cream Birthday Party! – RB Italia Blog

Happy 2nd birthday to our sweet baby Alina!

“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM”!!! LOL!!! This is EXACTLY why we decided to have a cute ice cream birthday party for Alina’s 2nd birthday! I want to share a story with you about why I decided to go with this blush pink and pastel green ice cream birthday party theme! 

My #1 reason: Alina is OBSESSED with ice cream!! Even if she gets sick (a cold or something…) she always has room for ice cream! Hahaha! That was the biggest reason that we decided to choose the “ice cream” theme party for her 2nd birthday!  

My #2 reason: While we were traveling in Italy a few years ago, we bought some delicious gelato from a similar ice cream/gelato cart with the same blush pink, pastel green and purple balloon garland in the beautiful streets of Florence, Italy! Valentina was only one year old at the time… I remember I was thinking to myself that I should create this fun ice cream birthday party for Valentina! Well… each year we ended up with a different kind of birthday party for Valentina, therefore, I decided to go ahead and plan it this year for Alina’s 2nd birthday! 

I remember some of the most exciting moments of my childhood were my birthdays! My parents did a great job throwing the most fun and exciting birthdays for me and my sister Kereshmeh! Although we are 4 years apart, our birthdays are only two weeks apart! Therefore, my parents combined our birthdays and invited all our friends and family over for one big party!!!! I remember each birthday I would wake up SUPER early from the excitement for that day… My dad was in charge of decorating the house for our birthday and my mom was in charge of making all the sandwiches for the kids, preparing snacks, etc… I think my birthday was one of the biggest highlights of the year for me as a child (LOL)!!! And to this day and age, I still LOVE celebrating my birthdays with my loved ones! 

This is exactly why would I like to create the same fun “birthday tradition” for our kids! Matt always says if he was going to be in charge of birthday parties for our girls, he would buy them a couple of balloons, a cake from the grocery store and a gift!!! LOL! He thinks birthday planning is so much work and that I’m crazy for putting myself through all this planning and work! Hahaha! While he is 100% correct, and birthday planning can be hard, I want to create a “birthday tradition” for my kids. When they grow up, I want them to look at their birthday pictures, and know that we did our best to create fun memories for them! 

Another Quarantine Birthday Party at Home!

Since we are still in the middle of the pandemic, and having big gatherings is still not a good idea, we decided to make the most out of Alina’s 2^nd birthday celebration at home like what we did for Valentina’s 5^th birthday! It was only us, Valentina and Alina’s aunt and uncle and their two sweet babysitters. 

As you may know, they call the second birthday the “Terrible Two”!!! Hahaha! Alina was so naughty on her birthday!! LOL! I think she wanted to give us a little warning about what “Two” is going to look like!!! Hahaha! 

Right before her birthday started, we gave her a bath, so she was all nice and clean for her party! As soon as she was done with the bath, she ran outside to the backyard, popped several of the decoration balloons (LOL). She then immediately grabbed a couple of cupcakes on the table, had one bite and smashed the rest of the cupcakes on her face and hair!!! I had to give her a second bath to wash her hair and body all over again to clean up the cupcakes! Hahaha! 

As soon as Alina was done eating her pizza, she was so ready to sleep!!!! After she went to sleep, we celebrated her birthday in the backyard by lighting up the candles on the table, enjoying the delicious pizza with wine and of course her birthday cake and desserts! She also had a slice of her birthday cake Sunday morning after her birthday! 

Who Designed Alina’s Birthday Cake

Maryam’s Cakery

Alina’s birthday cake was baked and designed by Maryam’s Cakery! I found Maryam’s bakery a couple of years ago when we wanted to order a “Cinderella Castle Cake” for Valentina’s 4^th birthday. Valentina was so into Cinderella and Prince Charming at the time! LOL! I called several bakeries in town; they all said that the cake was too hard to make! Finally, one of the bakeries recommended Maryam’s Cakery! They told me Maryam is so talented and she can design the most beautiful cakes that also taste amazing! I looked at her Instagram page and fell in love with her gorgeous cake designs! 

She was easily able to design the complicated Cinderella castle cake. Not only did Valentina’s cake look flawless, it also tasted AMAZING!!! After that great experience with Maryam’s Cakery, I recommended her to so many of our friends and family members!!! If I want a beautiful cake, I don’t even bother looking at any other bakeries except hers! 

I was looking for a cute “balloon design” cake on Pinterest to go well with Alina’s balloon garland around her birthday ice cream cart! I found this adorable blush pink two-tiered cake that I fell in love with! Maryam made that picture into reality and created the most adorable cake! I love her work and her sweet personality! Her attention to detail is simply amazing! The cake was light and so delicious.

The Balloons Garland & Ice Cream Cart for Alina’s Birthday

Luz Balloons

Luz Balloons designed and created this stunning balloon garland for Alina’s birthday! They also provided the most beautiful white ice cream cart/candy bar, as well as a large lighted #2!!! I found Luz Balloons on Instagram while I was searching for balloon décor and marquee letters! When I came across their Instagram page, I loved their beautiful work! I contacted them through Instagram DM for some more information and I loved how quickly they responded to all my questions! 

Luz, the owner/designer, was so sweet! When I was looking for a colorful balloon garland for kids’ birthdays online, I found some adorable balloon garland designs that I loved. But I was not sure how well my ideas would be brought to life! 

They came to our house and finished the entire setup in the backyard, and they made my life so much easier!!! Hahaha! They were so professional, fast, and simply very pleasant people to work with!!! I also want to mention that their balloon quality is INCREDIBLE!!! I have ordered balloons from other companies in the past, but these balloons last a long time! I genuinely enjoyed working with their company and will be working with them again for our future parties! 

I would like to share some kids’ table setting ideas with you if you are planning your kid’s birthday party this year: 

Kids’ Table Setting Ideas for Dinner Parties!

There are so many adorable ways you can decorate your kids’ table setting for dinner parties! A few of my favorite ideas are:

1- Add colorful table decorations: Adding colorful table decorations for babies’ and kids’ birthdays and dinner parties helps bring life and fun to an otherwise basic table setting. You can make the table decorations extra special by adding your child’s favorite colors, themes, and characters. Anything will work, from “blush pink and pastel green,” like Alina’s theme, to Disney characters, rainbow colors, sports, or whatever your child’s favorite interests are! If they don’t mind what it looks like, contrasting and complimentary colors always look nice!

PretPretty

2- Add ice cream birthday party centerpieces: If you are having an ice cream birthday party like Alina, then adding ice cream centerpieces is perfect for the occasion!

You can:

• Display trays of ice cream sandwiches
• Put ice cream balls on sticks and put them in an ice bucket for the kids to take
• Balloons and paper cones to look like ice cream
• Fill an ice cream bowl with flowers arranged into the shape of an ice cream sundae
• Fill a cute bucket with rocks in your child’s favorite color, then put sticks with paper circles that display things such as your child’s age that they’re turning, a picture representing the theme, your child’s name, or just “Happy Birthday!”

You can also just get decorations that look like ice cream, such as plastic or paper ice cream cones or hot fudge sundaes, and put them in the center of the table. Whatever you decide to do for your ice cream birthday party centerpiece, don’t be afraid to get creative! 

3- Add flower napkin rings: If your child is a super girly girl like Alina (LOL!), then she will LOVE flower napkin rings. They look SO cute holding together paper napkins in your child’s favorite color. You can do a cluster of small flowers, one big flower, or alternate flowers for every other guest’s place setting. If your child has a favorite flower, this is a perfect opportunity to use it for decoration!

Ice Cream Party Treat Ideas

There are SO many fantastic ice cream party treat ideas for an ice cream birthday, like the ice cream sandwiches and ice cream balls on sticks that I mentioned earlier.  Some other great ideas that your kids and their friends will LOVE are:

• A DIY ice cream station! Set out different flavors of ice cream, cones, bowls, syrups, and toppings for your kids and their friends so that they can put together their ice cream exactly how they want it!
• Ice cream-shaped cookies – you can buy ice cream-shaped cookie cutters and frosting and make them with your child beforehand, or buy them premade!
• Sweets that look like ice cream – for instance, cut some wafers diagonally, put a bit of icing at the top, stick an oreo on, a little more icing, sprinkles, and a cherry-colored M&M to make oreo-wafer ice cream cones.
• Fill sundae cups with different sweet, salty, and healthy snack options for your guests!

The bottom line is to think outside the box while sticking with the theme. Get funky and have fun thinking up ideas with your child! It’s a kid’s birthday, after all!

What Can You Do for A 2-Year-Old Birthday Party?

At two years old, kids are becoming social and developing likes and interests, so you will want to cater towards what your little two-year-old and their friends might like to do, eat, and play at your child’s birthday party. Here are a few great tips for what you can do for a two-year-old birthday party:

• Most two-year-olds LOVE snacks, so having snacks available and ready to go will make the whole day run much more smoothly! In addition to sweets, leaving out pre-cut veggies, bite-size fruit, and small sandwiches make great grab-and-go snacks for two-year-olds. 

• Hire entertainment! If your child’s theme is Disney Princesses, then hire a professional Cinderella actress to interact with the kids. Your child will LOVE talking with one of their favorite princesses! You can also get a balloon twister, a face painter, or any other type of entertainment that will liven up the party!

• Create different stations for your kids to interact and enjoy themselves. If you are going with a theme, such as “ice cream” like Alina, some ideas are ice cream painting, ice cream playdough, pin the ice cream on the cone, or something active, like musical chairs! You could even have some of the other parents help out with the stations!

Kids Lockdown Birthday Ideas

Just because your family is in lockdown during the pandemic doesn’t mean you can’t still have a super fun birthday for your child! 

Some great kids lockdown birthday ideas are:

1. Have a tea party!
2. Dress up in character costumes from your child’s favorite movie or TV show!
3. Make a present treasure hunt! BONUS: Dress up like pirates and pretend you’re searching for buried treasure!
4. Do some outdoor activities in the backyard! This could be a pool day, slip-n-slide, a backyard picnic, water balloon or water gun fight, whatever your child might enjoy!
5. Have a fun spa day!
6. Hire a video call entertainer so your child can talk directly to their favorite movie character!
7. Have a family video call so your extended and long-distance family can get in on the fun!

Your child’s special day can still be just as special during a pandemic lock-down. There are so many ways that you can help them have fun no matter what!

What Can I Do Instead of a Birthday Party?

If a birthday party is just a bit too much for you or your child, there are other great ways you can celebrate their special day!

Any of the ideas above, like a tea party, pool day, or a treasure hunt, are great ways to celebrate your little one without throwing a huge party. A few additional ideas are:

• Go on a vacation or a fun road trip!
• Have a beach day!
• Have a park day and bring along birthday cupcakes
• Spend the day at a farm or petting zoo
• Go to an amusement park
• Have a movie night!
• Have a cooking day! Better yet, bake their birthday cake together!
• Enjoy a shopping day!

There are a million and one ways that you can spend your child’s special day without having a huge, overwhelming celebration!

Their Special Day, Their Special Way!

As for “blush pink and pastel green”, I LOVED this theme, and Alina had the BEST time! I would gladly throw a “blush pink and pastel green” ice cream birthday party again for Valentina, or even a graduation, baby shower, or any other celebration for my girlfriends! This party theme is not just for kids!

There are so many ways to celebrate your little one’s birthday. I hope that this article helps you decide what you’d like to do!

How to celebrate the birthday of a child 3 years old ❤️ Blog Sharlot.ru

Where to celebrate the birthday of a child 3 years old?

First, you need to decide on the venue of the celebration. When choosing a location, it is necessary to build on the number and age of the birthday guests and your personal preferences and interests of the baby.

There are many options, we will look at the most common, consider the pros and cons of each.

Birthday at home.

The most common way to celebrate a child’s birthday in 3 years. This option will be as comfortable as possible for the hero of the occasion.

First of all, at home, in a familiar environment, the baby feels as comfortable as possible. He gladly receives guests, shows his toys and realizes the essence of the event, all attention is directed to him on this day.

Secondly, many three-year-olds have daytime sleep during the day. If the child gets tired, it will be possible to calmly retire and let the baby rest.

And thirdly, you will be able to independently think over the menu of the table for the birthday boy and his guests, observing the diet and nutritional habits of children of this age, and not worry about what products this or that dish is prepared from.

One of the disadvantages of celebrating at home is the limited area. Not everyone can afford to invite the desired number of guests to the apartment.

Birthday in a children’s cafe.

Usually these establishments are equipped with special playgrounds or playrooms where children can have fun and parents will not worry about their safety.

Definitely an advantage of celebrating a celebration in a cafe will be a pre-thought-out menu individually for each guest. Study the menu, coordinate the order in advance, choose dishes according to the preferences of the children and specify the possibility to bring your own cake.

The downside in this situation is the fact that a child in a new environment on a surge of emotions can get tired faster and start acting up.

Birthday in a specialized quest with a show program.

These events are organized by a team of professionals, taking into account the age of the birthday person and his preferences. A great celebration option, more suitable for older children. It is difficult for a three-year-old to be in a state of prolonged attention, so he will not be able to fully become a participant in experiments or, for example, in a theatrical action. It is better to make this event a small part of the overall program. A definite plus will be vivid and enchanting memories, of the minuses: prolonged concentration, which is very difficult for children of three years of age.

Picnic.

It will be a great option to celebrate the birthday of a three-year-old birthday. Bright balloons, warm blankets, baskets and sweets – voila, the holiday is ready! Pluses include simplicity, convenience and a great atmosphere. Minus: change of weather can ruin the celebration. Sudden rain or wind will not make it possible to continue the holiday. Also lack of sanitation.

What time is the holiday?

Starting from the regimen of a three-year-old child, it is better to organize celebrations at 16-17 hours. After a daytime sleep, the baby will be cheerful and will be able to have fun and provocatively spend his birthday.

Guests at the party.

Of course, by this age the baby has made friends in the kindergarten or on the playground. Without their presence, the holiday will not be so fun. Be sure to invite the kids with their parents, because. supervision is required for each child, and the mood of young guests during the holiday can change dramatically.

The presence of relatives of the little birthday boy is obligatory.

If it is not possible to organize the presence of both of them, it is better to invite your loved ones on the birthday itself, and spend the holiday with friends on the weekend.

Holiday at home.

Fun, playful, memorable children’s birthday party can be held at home. Of course, it is necessary to think over the plan of the event and its theme. Prepare accessories and a photo zone in advance. Approve the menu and think over the games in advance.

Consider invitations.

Do it yourself or electronically.
If you are making the invitation yourself, involve your child in creating it. Ask to decorate the invitation with sparkles, bright felt-tip pens, cut out small details. Guests will be pleased to accept such invitations, and the birthday person will feel the importance of the event in advance and will look forward to the holiday even more.
Electronic invitations. Take a picture of the birthday boy, decorate his photo in the editor, decorating with confetti, sparkles and fireworks. Attach creative text. Record a video that the baby is waiting for guests.

First you need to think over the theme of the children’s party, based on the interests of your birthday. Consider birthday options for girls and boys.

How to celebrate a girl’s 3rd birthday – topics for celebration.

1) Princesses.

Young ladies with great pleasure will be happy to welcome their guests in a beautiful puffy dress. Any color of the event: pink tenderness, gold, blue and others. Pick up a hairpin or tiara for the young princess. Decorate the room with balloons, you can use sets with your favorite princesses. If possible, invite an animator who will play your favorite heroine: Princess Elsa, Cinderella, Jasmine – start from the interests of the baby.

2) Unicorns.

Topics popular today. Use not bright colors, keep the style, get themed jewelry: hair ornaments for the birthday girl.
If possible, organize the presence of a life-sized unicorn puppet – this will delight your princess.

3) LOL dolls.

Another trendy theme for celebrating children’s jam day. Even if your little one has not seen this cartoon, it will probably be familiar to her, since many goods for little princesses are now created in this theme. Use soft pink glamorous tones for decoration, shiny balloons. In supermarkets, you can easily find paraphernalia for a celebration in this theme.

4) Cartoon heroes.

When creating a holiday, ask your daughter what her favorite cartoon character is. All children watch cartoons and choose their favorites. Masha and the Bear, Mickey Mouse, Three Cats – look for inspiration in the interests of your child.

Think of games and prizes for winners.

Fun options:

How to calculate the children’s birthday menu?

Children’s holiday menu should be calculated based on the number of people. Everything related to main courses, desserts and snacks should be taken according to the number of children – 1 serving / 1 child. There is no need to save on water and drinks, as children actively play, run and have fun between meals.

Calculating a fruit plate for everyone is very simple. Do not take a lot of different fruits. It will be enough for a couple of species at the rate of 300-400 grams of fruit for each guest.

You shouldn’t order a lot of snacks either – about 100 grams per person. Children will also have a main course, and if they are full of snacks, they will not want to eat hot.
