On the threshold of a wonderful holiday - your beloved child has a birthday. Baby eyes are burning in anticipation of something unusual, and you are tormented by meditations: how to organize the birthday of the child. But it's not so difficult! The main thing is love and the desire to bring joy ...
From the very beginning it is important to decide where you will celebrate this wonderful event. There are many options, and they rest mainly on the financial capabilities of their parents. Your baby is not more than three? Then it's better to celebrate the celebration at home.
Decide how many people will come to congratulate the birthday boy. Optimum - no more than five, otherwise in our not very spacious apartments will be very crowded and noisy. We selected one room for the event: it is easier to decorate and put it in order after the festive rout.
Noise outside the door
Do not waste time on a large cleaning - small guests will not appreciate your efforts: five minutes after their arrival, no one will remember how everything looked. Remove valuable and fragile objects from a prominent place, free up as much space as possible for games and running around.
Decorate the room with balls, tinsel, hang the banner with congratulations. It would be nice to organize all this at night, close the door to the room, and in the morning, with a mysterious look, inform the culprit of the celebration that entrance there is prohibited until a certain hour.
Highlight the place where guests put their outerwear, where they change their shoes. If there are pets, think about where to attach them for the holiday season.
Make a program for the child's birthday. Invite the guests to take part in simple competitions and prepare a souvenir for everyone: let not only the birthday boy receive presents on this day.
Do not be ready for food mountains! Toddlers enough tiny sandwiches, "kanapushek", fruit. And be sure to stock up on drinks - juice (better light - easier to wash), mors, compote, water will go to cheers.
But nobody canceled the cake. And let it be eaten at best by a third - a pleasure to blow out candles with nothing is comparable! So do not buy a multi-tiered structure of cream and cream - you can bake an ordinary charlotte. The main thing - that was where to put the candles.
Birthday of the child at home
Arguments for":
■ more or less available for money;
■ The kid is not afraid of unfamiliar surroundings;
you can always interfere with the holiday.
Arguments against":
■ additional hassle associated with cooking and cleaning;
■ close, stuffy, restless for neighbors.
Find out in makeup
The program of the holiday often includes aquagrim. Professionally executed, it looks very nice, but be prepared for smudged hands and clothes. To wash it off, keep ready lotion and baby cream that softens the skin.
Adult
Does the child invite the whole class for the birthday? It is reasonable to order a cafe, an entertainment center. This idea will appeal to older children and will give them the opportunity to feel very large.
When choosing a room, pay attention:
A) on the interior and the availability of free space, where you can play and run to and fro;
B) for opening hours (not all establishments are open in the morning);
B) on the menu (in some there is a special children's).
The premise is better to book weeks for three before the celebration. A week before the holiday call in the chosen cafe and check the reservation, and for confidence make an advance.
Holiday in a cafe
Arguments for":
■ All the efforts on organization and conduct lie on the staff of the agency;
■ there is where to run, jump, in a word, "tear yourself away in full".
Arguments against":
■ Expensive (the most modest children's menu, consisting of salad, hot and drink, - from 500 rubles.);
■ decoration of the table, hall, game room - for a fee;
■ In addition to you in the cafe may be strangers, and the atmosphere of a family holiday is broken.
For the first time in the arena
It's a great idea to invite a clown to a children's party. Choosing among the many proposals in newspaper magazines and on all sorts of websites, keep in mind:
■ If the baby is 2-2.5 years old, it is better to organize everything without a clown: the crumb can get scared. This option is suitable for children 5-7 years;
■ the best recommendation - the opinion of friends and acquaintances;
■ If you order a clown in an agency, do not be lazy to go to the office and see photos from other holidays;
■ When choosing a clown, remember that there are animators (they will entertain the kids with games), professionals (show the show program), universals (they will play the performance with the participation of children). Determined what you need:
■ It is important who comes: a male clown or a woman. Kids are better to invite a clown, and boys - a clown;
■ It is important to clarify the duration of the program. Half an hour is usually not enough - children only have time to get used. It is better to order for an hour;
■ a good holiday can not be cheap, and too low a price should alert.
We are not scared!
To the crumb did not scare the clown, prepare him. Look at the cartoon about the clowns ("Cat and Clown", "Girl and Clown"), read the "Clown School" by Eduard Uspensky. Go to the performance of the clown's collective ("Clownery Theater Tereza Durova"). Show the baby a clown wig and a false nose in a toy store.
And what's in the suitcase?
Any self-respecting clown has props for organizing the birthday of the child, more precisely, for a game program. Usually, these are balls for modeling, small prizes, watercolors, soap bubbles, to arrange a real show, a set of a magician and even fireworks. Often these services are not included in the main "package", but are ordered additionally, so do not hesitate to clarify this.
