Birthday Party (2 yrs old)

We threw a birthday party for my little girl and even if I do say so my self it was AWESOME. I though I'd share in case you want some good ideas for throwing a party for a 2 year old.

The best decision I made was to join up with a good friend. Lucky me, her son and my daughter's birthdays are only 10 days apart. We had talked about birthdays coming up and she was debating between 2 themes. One of the themes being Super Why, which is a PBS show both of our kids love to watch. I thought about it and decided Super Why would be perfect, why not do a combined party. So during a play date we planned and divided up the responsibilities. We had both done some Pinterest research before hand to help our creative juices flow.

We kept it simple, neither of spent much money. I was able to reserve the perfect location (a big empty room with chairs and tables) through my apartment complex at no charge.

I put together a fun invitation on my computer.

Super Letter Cupcakes

1st activity: Coloring 

2nd activity: Story Time in the Book Club

Story Time was a wonderful success, it probably helped that we gave all the kids a snack to eat while they listened to a couple of fun stories. I think the fact that we had age appropriate activities and kept it all very relaxed is what made our party such a success. Since we had all the kids in one place with there full attention right after story time we sang Happy Birthday then we took the birthday kids over to the table to blow out candles, and everyone who sat at the table got a cupcake after that we helped our children open there presents. People stayed and played at the park outside and left when they wanted. For a few extra decorations I colored some of the coloring pages we got form here and here and placed them around the room, as well as using them for signs to the room.
