]]> reindeer-webkinz.jpgMy kids are SO Webkinz crazy! They just love them and my two older ones each got a new one for Christmas. If Webkinz have taken over your household and your kids are just crazy about them too, why not throw a Webkinz Themed Birthday party?! Great idea isn’t it?

Linette from The Kids Birthday Fun Review has a great post on how to throw a Webkinz birthday party. Here are a couple of her ideas:

You can make up activities based on the Webkinz website activities. Give the children a “job,” play a trivia question game, or have a gem search. Have a dress up relay, or plan a scavenger hunt.

Create animal shaped invitations, or use animal shaped rubber stamps to decorate plain card stock for your invitations.

Great party idea isn’t it? Click here to read more of her ideas.

The Webkinz pictured here is the Reindeer.

]]> christmas_tree.jpgI was just sitting here thinking about Christmas and party ideas and the thought “What about those kids with December birthdays?” My oldest daughter’s birthday is at the end of November and we try not to let Thanksgiving over-shadow it, but I can’t imagine what parents who have kids with December birthdays do. How does a parent put importance on both holidays and not let their child feel left out?

Here are a few ideas that I came up with:

  • Always try to have a separate celebration for their birthday. It doesn’t have to be anything big or fancy, just an acknowledgment that it’s their special day and they are loved and appreciated.
  • If you do throw a birthday party, try to do a theme that has nothing to do with the holiday season what-so-ever. Throw a Hawaiian themed party, or a pirate theme or something totally off the wall that your child wouldn’t expect.
  • Plan the party at a place that does almost all the work for you. We did this for my daughter’s birthday this year. Things were exceptionally hectic and we knew we wanted to throw her a part, but that the party needed to be easy for us. Our daughter didn’t mind and had a fantastic time at the skating rink with all of her friends. We literally showed up with presents and goody bags and the rest was taken care of. There was no set-up, clean-up, cake making or anything. We go to relax and enjoy the party with her. I even went skating!
  • If the only possible solution is to have their party coincide with a holiday celebration, do everything you can to single them out and put some attention on them. Make them feel special any way that you can. Sing happy birthday, light the candles, open a birthday present or two and maybe play a couple of birthday party games.

Do you have kids with December birthdays? If so, what have you done to make them feel special?
