Transcript of Make the next birthday party easy on yourself
That special day is rolling around again – your
youngster’s birthday – along with all the planning and
anticipation that surround this momentous occasion.
Don’t let preparing for what should be a fun and happy
event get you mired in stress and tiresome details.
However, planning indoor games and
crafts can be a bit time-consuming, and
games of Simon Says, musical chairs or
follow-the-leader don’t ever take as
much time as you may think.
Holding your event at an outdoor playground or beach (think a lot of supervision) gives you a nice big block of easy entertainment.
Keep an eye on everyone,
pause for food, cake and
present-opening, and
before you know it, a
successful birthday event
is at a happy end.
If your youngster is a
sports enthusiast,
consider an ice rink,
soccer field or swimming
pool for the event.
Another fun way to keep guests
entertained in nice weather is to have a
scavenger hunt, hire a moon walk or set
up a back yard obstacle course.
Once your child and his friends are old enough, consider having a sleepover party. But don’t expect to get a lot of sleep.
Most youngsters are just
excited to be spending a
whole night giggling and
watching movies with
their pals …
You can have a lights-out
time, but be prepared for
some residual whispering
and giggling for a while.
Whip up some pancakes or
just take the easy route
with donuts and hot
chocolate and then have
them packed up and ready
for their parents’ arrival.
A sleepover birthday
party with a small group
of close friends can truly
be a treasured memory
for your child.
A few pizzas are fine for
the main course and you
can make the food
presentation fun by serving
it up on colorful dishes.
Consider your youngster’s
interests and solicit her
input as to where she and
her friends would have the
most fun …
Day camp facilities like
Maplewood Day Camp
are great because they
provide a wide variety of
both indoor …
Experienced staff will keep your child both safe
and busy with arts and crafts, games, water
sports, gymnastics and more.
