You do not really need to own a farm to make this happen. You can bring in animals for petting in your yard, or you could set up animals made of paper-mache all over. Another good idea would be to allow your guests to bring their pets. Not only will this party be fun, it could be a fantastic learning experience for all, as well. Children pay more attention to the activities you've planned out all throughout the party than the food you prepare (this is what adults nitpick, unfortunately) so it would be prudent to spend some time thinking of interesting children's birthday party games. You can find a lot of ideas on the Internet, or you can ask parents who have already thrown parties for their children to find out what works and what doesn't. One good way to keep the kids interested in the entire event is to host a themed party. A themed event is easier to pull off because you have only one look and feel to work with. For example, if you intend to throw a fairy themed party for children, the young guests may be asked to come in costumes (fairies or elves) and you can have the whole venue decorated to look like pixie forest. Even if he or she will have a big hand in deciding what kind of children's birthday party will be thrown, there are very minute details (like what to put inside the goodie bags) that will need attention. You may scan the local yellow pages for a listing of children's birthday party planners in your area. Planning Your Child's Party Your little one's first birthday party is coming up and you want everything to be perfect. That's why as early as a few months, you're already at your wits end looking for the perfect entertainers and wracking your brain for the best theme to make his or her first celebration the most memorable ever. Everyone begins to blow his own balloon at the signal of the birthday child. The circle widens and grows until they can no longer hold each other's hands, until eventually the balloons pop and everyone is startled and laughing. This game is best for toddlers. As mentioned earlier, no party would be complete without games.
