They also love dressing up and celebrating their birthday so what could be better than combining these three gifts of childhood and throwing your child a costume party for his or her next birthday.
In the realm of possibilities there are an endless number of themes that can be selected. With that in mind you will never run out of ideas for this special day. Just be sure when a theme is chosen you keep it going with activities, food as well as games that help to make the party appear better rounded.
For example: a pirate costume party really needs a treasure hunt to keep those little boys in character while your daughters tea party may need little more than a few feather boas, some jewels and a choice of hats.
Since there is a lot of imagination at work, you never have to worry about there not being enough to do. Host a few simple activities to get the party started, and then allow the children to explore their minds while you finish getting the food ready to serve. The children will love being able to act out the characters they enjoy.
Memories are going to be special for your child from this party as well. Their friends are going love the chance to have dressed up with them, and all will have memories of this great day to take with them as they grow older.
Magic is involved in these parties more than the standard birthday bash. Not only will your child feel like the world is theirs for a single day, and the entire day becomes an event that they will cherish and appreciate for a long time.
When you allow your child to help choose the theme that will be associated with their costume party, and the costume they will be wearing, you give them the chance to explore a fantasy world they enjoy. Just be sure you keep the costumes simple and inexpensive. Children as a rule have a very vivid imagination that will be used in combination with their costume. So this entire process allows for them to have a better time at their own party.
This means more savings for you and more fun for your child. Buying or making a basic costume is best and then let them adorn it with things that can be found at a thrift store or other inexpensive place. Half the fun for your child is going to be assembling their costume.
So give your child's imagination a jump start for their next birthday. Make it a day they will always remember, and have a costume party that focuses on a theme they will love. Allow them to spend the day in the costume of their choice. Since children are young for only so long, let them have this magical day with a costume party that belongs to them. It'll be good for both of you.
