Child Party Games
Top Party Ideas for Busy Parents
Once your children hit 3 and 4 years old their birthday party will become a highly anticipated event. Choosing the right child party games is of prime importance to your child. Most kids have a pretty good idea of what they want and by letting them help to make some decisions they will feel much more involved.
 Birthday Party Crafts! It's new, check it out before planning your next birthday party.
Older kids will be able to help with invitations, costumes and maybe even some of the food preparation. After sitting down with your child and thinking about the theme, child party games, and cake, you will start getting an idea of the type of party you want to have.
Planning makes perfect
A relatively small amount of time spent planning is invaluable and will make the whole day more enjoyable for everyone involved. After all the idea is to have a fun and memorable day, not add grey hairs to your head!
Your child doesn't need or want the biggest party of the year, just a day full of friends and fun.
If you feel a bit overwhelmed at the thought of having your first kids party (like I was!) then just keep it small and don't try to do too much.
After bouncing around some party ideas with your child a few weeks before the big day, you have three main possibilities for the style of party to throw. They are each dependent on two key things; your energy levels and your budget.
 Home Party / Small Budget- the child party games, food, music, cake and any other requirements are provided by you. This style of party requires the most organisation but probably gives the greatest sense of satisfaction when the day is over (and the fact that everyone survives to tell the tale!!). It is definitely worthwhile enlisting the help of older kids, partners or other mums so that you don't have to run around like a crazy person on the day of the party trying to do everything by yourself.
Home Party with Entertainment / Medium Budget- you provide all of the above but bring in fairies, superheroes, farm animals and the like, to provide the entertainment and child party games.Bringing in entertainment takes a good amount of the organising off your shoulders. This party allows you to enjoy yourself, take plenty of photos or video, and keep everyone happy.
Party Elsewhere / Big Budget- great for those of us with brand new babies at home, or really hectic schedules. This party is at a venue- a play centre, fairy cave or similar where parents drop off their kids for 1-2 hours who are then involved in games and activities. There is no stress about having your house tidy, coping with the organisation for the party or the masses of little bodies on the day.
Whatever style of party you choose, make up a checklist so that you can start making some decisions about the numbers, length of the party, the games and other essential items.
Whatever you do, don't feel overwhelmed by all of ideas you find here, just select the elements that appeal to you (and your birthday boy or girl ofcourse!) and enjoy the day when it arrives. When you look back at the photos in ten years time you'll be able to remember what a special day it was.
