Another popular party cake topper is an edible cake image. That’s a picture that has been printed onto an edible wafer or frosting. You can personalize this by sending a picture of your child to a company who makes these edible images.

Birthday party ideas for kids need a little party gift. Whether it’s a game prize or a goodie bag, try to supply a small gift for each child. Free coloring pages are an inexpensive way to fill this need. You can also find stickers or temporary tattoos to give as a gift.

Make your birthday ideas for kids fun, but keep your party short. Young kids don’t need a party that goes on for hours. They tire easily, even though it seems as though their energy levels never wear down.
