Age characteristics
Toddlers like being the center of attention! They enjoy other children but may have difficulty interacting with each other while they play. They also love to feel they have accomplished something such as memorizing words to a song or placing that last block on top of the ABC tower.
Guest list
Toddlers enjoy being with other children. If your child is in a play group, invite the children in the group. Or invite the children of your family, friends, and neighbors. Keep in mind that they may get afraid when the adult accompanying is not present so account for a few extra adults.
Length of party
1- 1 ½ Hours
Entertainment for age
Children at this age tire easily so try to keep the party simple and flexible so that you can keep their attention. They are beginning to learn about themselves and the world around them. They enjoy singing, dancing, finger and copying games.
Toddlers sometimes get confused with what is real and pretend, therefore entertainers such as clowns and make-believe characters are great to amuse them.
Games
Keep games short and simple.
Follow the Leader
Sit in a circle and play finger games such as :
The Itsy Bitsy Spider
This Little Piggy
Pat-a Cake, Pat-a-Cake
Safety for age
Childproof your home, covering sockets and closing off bedroom doors, exit and entry ways so that children don’t wander. Avoid foods and items that are choking hazards, such as broken balloons, small party favors, hard candles, hot dogs and popcorn.
Cinderella Party
Cinderella Dreamland Deluxe Party Pack
Birthday Child’s Starring Role
Dressed as Cinderella or simply with a Jewel Tiara on her head, your child will be ready for her royal birthday ball.
Party Settings
Decorate your home with pumpkins and plush mice to represent Cinderella’s magical carriage and her faithful mice friends. Then use
Disney Cinderella Giant Peel and Stick Wall Decals around the room; the
partygoers will be waltzing in no time with that “fairytale feeling.”
Party Fun & Games
Have the main activity of the day be a magnificent reenactment of the famous fairy tale Cinderella. Each guest represents a character, with your child having first choice, of course. Guide the children through the fairytale story and have them end their story in a magnificent banquet hall, filled with delectable party treats and birthday cake.
Party Leader
Recruit an entertainer of all trades for this gathering. We suggest someone who sings, dances and is an energetic storyteller.
Party Tunes
Select music that will complement your actors. We suggest the Cinderella soundtrack and a variety of waltz music.
Party Finale
For the grand finale, set the partygoers out on a hunt for the glass slipper. When found, have everyone climb into an imaginary (or real, if you can manage it) pumpkin carriage. Set off for a cake and ice cream celebration, or why not both with these adorable Ice Cream Cake Pops?
Birthday Presents & Favors
Double your place settings as party favors. With a
Cinderella Wand and a
Cinderella Tiara
, your partygoers will be set for hours of fun.
Wrap your chairs in a colorful tulle fabric bow to make the guests feel like they are in a real banquet hall. Use glass slippers filled with candy around the table to create a magical look.
