How about involving kids in birthday decorations when you are too busy with other arrangements? That’s what my sister did for her daughter’s third birthday. She is good at drawing and the little one is extremely fond of coloring !!! So, she got a paper roll and drew peppa pig and family (peppa pig being the birthday theme) with free hand.

Well, if you are not too good with your hand or want much perfection in the drawings at least (if not the coloring), the best option is to take printouts and give them to the kids for coloring.

Likewise, the other ways of involving kids can be

  1. Instead of paper roll (like shown in this post), give them cut outs of stars/ balls/ cartoon character of your birthday theme for coloring. You may hang them with a thread or paste them.
  2. If your kids can use scissors, ask them to cut out the shapes too !

Here are the birthday Decorations:

  1. Kids love getting involved in the decor. So fun to have them color and not run for tv/phones etc..
    They love having their faces on the wall with their fav characters 🙂
