Toddler Birthday Games
Toddler birthday games are great for burning excess energy and encouraging social interactions between children at your child’s birthday party. Your toddler birthday games should not only be easy to play, but safe as well. A good safety rule is to make sure that your prizes or party favors do not fit through a paper towel tube in order to prevent choking hazards.
Toddler Birthday Games
Classic Toddler Birthday Games
Pin the tail on the donkey games are versatile because you can modify the pairings by the theme of your party: frog on the lilly pad, slipper on the ballerina, car on the finish line and so on. Instead of a pin, use tape on the back of each object to be “pinned” to the poster. The child who pins their object closest to the target is the winner.
Playing a “freeze” dance game is sure to remove some of that excess party energy. Play a lively children’s song and have all the children dance. When you stop the music and yell “freeze” everyone must stop dancing and freeze in that position until you say “unfreeze.” Start the music again and repeat.
Other Toddler Birthday Games Ideas
Let the children have a birthday party parade with musical instruments, streamers, ribbons, stuffed animals or whatever relates to the birthday party theme.
Active games like Hokey Pokey, Ring Around the Rosy, or just letting the children dance freestyle really keep children entertained. Blowing bubbles or holding coloring contests with theme inspired coloring pages are also great activities.

Construction Party
For a construction party use any kind of construction vehicles as your theme. Construction party guests can wear soft inexpensive plastic “hard” hats as they enter the birthday construction zone. Decorate the walls of your construction birthday party zone with construction signs such as “danger,” “men at work,” and “caution.” Caution tape and orange cones are also good decorations to use for your construction birthday party.
Construction Party
There is a lot of activity at a boys birthday party and the construction theme can help to keep them busy. Depending on the age of the guests you can set up activities like building a tower with blocks, create your own construction obstacle course, let the children play with dump trucks in a sand box, have a bean bag toss where the children throw bean bags into a dump truck. Sticker books or coloring books with construction equipment as a theme make good take-away projects.

Birthday Cake Designs
Birthday cake designs are important because the birthday cake serves as the centerpiece for the birthday party. Birthday cake designs should incorporate the interests and likes of the birthday girl or boy. The creativity of birthday cakes has expanded significantly in recent years. Simple sheet cakes still highlight birthday parties because they are easy to make and tend to serve more guests.
Birthday Cake Designs
Birthday cake ideas can be taken from the interests or hobbies of the guest of honor. Favorite characters, movies or television shows are popular choices for birthday cake ideas. Sports or other hobbies can be incorporated in the design too. The size of the birthday cake may influence the final design. Determine the number of guests and amount of cake needed. If the chosen design will not feed all of your guests, make an extra sheet cake or perhaps some cupcakes. Sheet cakes are a basic style for birthday parties. A sheet cake is one layer and is rectangular in shape. Sheet cakes often are iced smooth with a shell or star border around the top and bottom edge. Sheet cakes can be decorated to fit any birthday party theme. Edible images can be placed directly on the iced cake. These are available in a variety of characters and themes. New toys can be placed on top of a sheet cake to relate to the theme. This decorating technique requires little experience, since the toys are the main decoration. The toys on the cake can double as a gift for the birthday child.

Little Mermaid Party
Your Little Mermaid party is sure to be a special under-the-sea adventure. For your Little Mermaid party, think shades of blue, green, and teal with streamers, colorful fish and balloons as water bubbles.
Little Mermaid Party
Scatter shells, starfish, sequins and glitter as under the sea table decorations. Under the sea games and activities will depend on the ages of your guests and the space available. Hold crab walk races, pin the shell on Ariel games or make paper plate jellyfish from paper plate half-circles and ribbons. Freeze gummy sharks in ice cubes to put in a fun under the sea punch.

Dress Up Party
For little girls, a dress up party is a fun birthday party theme. A dress up party gives young girls a chance to turn into Divas for a day. Decorate the party area with mirrors, streamers, bows, and lots of balloons. Have a transformation station where girls get to do their hair and makeup. While some girls are having their makeup done, other girls can work on fashion crafts like decorating flip flops or decorating their own fashion mirror.
Dress Up Party
Make these fashion crafts with sequins, jewels, glitter and craft glue to transform ordinary flip flops and hand mirrors into sparkling accessories. Hold a dress up fashion show using a white sheet as a backdrop and setting up chairs around the room. Have guests take turns being models, helpers and presenters. During the dress up fashion show the presenter describes the outfit the model is wearing and then becomes the next model.
