When kids are growing up (especially when they’re little), they think about their birthdays for months leading up to the big day. And parents want to make their kids’ birthdays absolutely perfect! Whether you’re throwing an elaborate birthday party or just having a casual family get-together, it’s important to make sure kids know just how special and appreciated they are.
Here are some tips for how to make a kid’s birthday truly unforgettable:
1. Throw a themed birthday party
If your child is absolutely obsessed with something, throw them a themed party! No matter what they love — puppies, teddy bears, garbage trucks — get decorations and buy snacks that match the theme.
2. Take lots of pictures & videos
Keep the memories of the birthday alive forever by taking lots of pictures and videos. Birthdays can go by in a flash, so sit down after everyone leaves and look through the photos to talk about the best parts of the day.
3. Do a fun activity
Keep your kiddo entertained by giving them a fun activity to do! We’d recommend setting up the VTech® Smart Shots Sports Center™, which is perfect for kids to play soccer or basketball. The animated LED Scoreboard displays encouraging animations and plays exciting sounds and phrases to keep the fun going.
4. Serve their favorite foods
A birthday is the perfect time to serve all your kid’s favorite foods — if they have a restaurant they like, consider ordering food from there or going out for a meal!
5. Get them a gift they’ll love
Let’s be honest, kids love the present part of birthdays — so it’s important to get them a gift they’ll really like. For little kids, VTech® has the perfect toys, like this VTech® 4-in-1 Letter Learning Train™, which grows and transforms as kids develop.
