Birthday parties for 8-9s
My goodness time flies! So your little one isn't so little any more - and will soon be nine! So you might be wondering what you ought to do to celebrate.
Perhaps a party? Perhaps some sort of activity? Ultimately whatever you do needs to suit your child - it is their birthday after all!
Party Ideas
A party doesn't have to cost the earth, here's a few ideas:
Sports
You can do this at home if you've a garden or make use of local park (weather permitting!) or hire a school or church hall relatively inexpensively. Set up sporty games like assault courses, various races, football skills etc.
Crafts
Craft based activities can make for really fun parties - think plate, mug or T Shirt decorating - or perhaps cake or biscuit decorating. The children can also take their creations home with them!
The Movies
Great in conjunction with a sleepover - or even without! Create tickets at home as party invites, do popcorn and hot dogs etc (just make sure you choose a suitable film!).
Themed Parties
You could of course have a more traditional party, but make it more fun by having a theme e.g. - space, pirates, superheroes, wizards etc. Try and theme the venue and the games too.
Plan an Outing...
Costs can easily spiral here, so it might be best to keep the numbers down. Think a trip to a theme park, the theatre, the cinema etc.
