Pretty craft ideas for the birthday child

Long may she/he live! - It is not for nothing that this exclamation has been used for so many generations, because the birthday child is the center of attention on his/her birthday. To enjoy this day to the full, a few preparations need to be made. If a joint celebration with family and friends is planned, then the invitations must be sent out in good time. This is an opportunity to simply design them yourself. Take some time and make some pretty invitation cards together with the children:

The invitations

It doesn't take much to make some pretty cards for the invitation. Take the following craft materials to hand:

• Cardboard
• string
• Cardboard paper
• finger paints

We will embroider the birthday number on some cardboard and stick this element on the invitation. To do this, first cut the cardboard into different shapes. From triangles to circles to squares, anything you like is possible.

The number is then drawn on with a pen. It looks nicer if the number is as large as possible.

Now thread the number with your favorite color using simple stitches.

Your child can help you with the color design. Toddlers can use some finger paint and decorate the front of the embroidered number.

Keep the invitation text short and concise and provide information about the most important dates:

• Date
• venue
• Time

Tip: Please remember to provide information about the party if it is taking place in the park or has a specific theme.

Crafting for a children's birthday party - the decorations

In addition to colorful balloons and streamers, you can of course decorate the room with lots of other accessories. As an alternative to a paper garland, create a garland from various elements.

Pretty garlands enhance the decor for the children's birthday party

You will need the following craft materials:

• Knitting
• Nuscheli in different colors
• clothespins
• Beads of all kinds

First, stretch the rope around the room. Make sure that both you and your guests can walk through it easily. Or simply stretch the rope in front of the window.

Now use the clips to hang up individual scarves in your favorite colors. You can add a wish to some of the cloths beforehand and write it on them. Liven up the decorations with balloons and streamers. Wooden bead chains that you have threaded yourself also look simply stunning. Feel free to let your imagination run wild with the design.

The table decorations

Everyone should be able to see at first glance who the real star of the day is. The table decorations therefore naturally focus on the birthday child. A train of letters, for example, fits perfectly at the front of the table and should definitely be topped off with a candle.

Instead of streamers, simply weave a few strings into a thick, colorful rope and lay them freely across the table as you please. The more colors you use, the more lively the whole thing will look, of course.

Streamers, confetti and other scatter decorations are an ideal addition to the table decorations

If it is a theme party, use colors that reflect the theme as much as possible:

• Pirate theme: blue, light blue, dark blue, green and brown
• Princess theme: pink, red, orange
• Forest and animals theme: green, light green, dark green, yellow
• Football theme: black, green, white

Colorful or tone on tone?

Well, that of course depends entirely on your child's taste. If they have a favorite color, then use it. If your child likes everything bright and colorful, then show courage with a variety of colors. If the party has a specific theme, you can also use the appropriate colors for the decorations.

Crafting with children for a birthday - still have fun in bad weather

Many children's birthday party games usually take place outside. But not everyone is lucky enough to celebrate their special day in spring or summer. Autumn and winter children can tell you all about it. That's when cool craft ideas for children's birthday parties are essential. Crafting at a children's birthday party also provides some variety. What's more, the guests can create their very own souvenir and end up with a beautiful memory in their hands.

The individual craft ideas depend on the age and maturity of the little ones. If you don't know your little guests that well yet, it's better to use easier craft ideas for children's birthday parties.

Design small treasure chests

Whether pirate, princess or simple birthday child. Designing small treasure chests is one of the unbeatable classics. Every child loves to collect small and large treasures and then store them in a safe place.

The following craft materials are required:

• Wooden caskets
• hot glue
• Colors
• Beads of all kinds
• Threading cords
• Letter cubes

Each guest now receives a box that can be decorated. Many start by painting the boxes or adding a little color. Older children are welcome to decorate the boxes with different beads. Smaller children under the age of 3, on the other hand, should do without the beads. Instead, use cardboard elements that can be painted beforehand and then glued on. String is also great for decorating. To top it off, the child's name can be immortalized on it with the help of letter cubes.

Bracelets and necklaces for girls

A classic that should not be missing at a real girls' party: designing pearl necklaces and bracelets is great fun for young ladies. If you provide as varied a selection of different colors and shapes as possible, you will indeed create little masterpieces.

Don't forget the variety!

Of course, crafting for a children's birthday party shouldn't take up all the time. So make sure you keep things interesting with other fun games in between. Sports games, blind man's buff and chair dancing are real classics. Experts also highly praise so-called free play time, and rightly so. Because during this time, the little ones can develop freely. That is important.

A successful children's birthday party always has room for little surprises. Then the children's birthday crafts will be a real highlight in any case. With this in mind, we wish you lots of fun and enjoyment for your next birthday.
