We've Got Kid's Parties On Lock...DOWN!
/
We know many kids had to cancel their birthday plans and parties due to the lockdown. We hope they can be postponed! In the meantime, we wanted to offer families alternate ideas on how to celebrate at home.
Dress up! Make the whole family — even pets — put on their Sunday's best for dinner.
Eat lunch in a unique place -- kids bedroom, garage, backyard, make it different and fun
Eat cake for breakfast! Or ice cream. Or cupcakes -- anything goes on a birthday during lockdown.
Reach out to loved ones to send video messages to be watched (and re-watched) throughout the day!
Cut out stars or hearts from magazines/paper and make a path from their door to the main living area where a surprise will be waiting.
Make a scavenger hunt to find gifts.
Dress the Birthday boy/girl up in whatever birthday flair you can find and go for a walk. Other walkers will for sure say happy birthday (from a safe distance!)
Support an etsy shop and purchase instant downloads for custom ideas to decorate with.
Contact your local news station to see if they'll give him or her a shout out on the air.
Set up a ninja course around the house and or backyard for a ninja themed celebration!
Ask neighbors and friends to walk by and sing happy birthday from the sidewalk. Or if you're not in a neighborhood, drive the birthday boy/girl to various friends/family homes and ask them to sing or celebrate from their porch!
Make a kid “snack board!” A youthful spin on a lemon & lime favorite (chacuterie!). This can be anything from bite sized PBJ to some apples and cheese and goldfish. You can even keep it easy and jazz it up with some leftovers! Use what ya got!
Tea Time! Have a birthday tea party with creative snacks and sweets while dressed up with your pinkies out!
