Celebrate and Show You Care
While every parent wants to throw a big celebration for their kids’ milestone birthdays, throwing a huge party with all the nuts and bolts can become quite an indulgent treat. One way of incorporating your child’s party with gifts that go beyond your immediate circle and concerns is to bring some social relevance into the picture. Making this a fun, learning experience for your family and the guests that come to the event will teach children too to step outside themselves and see the benefits of helping others.
Bag-Pack Party
Kids can come home with goodie bags, but the main activity can be their own assembly of bags to donate too. Get all the grownups to bring in some clothes and canned goods, slippers and sleepwear. Give the kids some packing guidelines to put together a giveaway kit, and send the goods to a charity of your choice.
Earth-Friendly Event
Who says your party has to be confined to the great indoors? Give back to the environment by creating a tree-planting event, and set up a small corner with a picnic table, baskets, and finger foods. Planting a tree is one of the easiest ways you can contribute towards a better future for your kids, and involving them in the process will make for a fun bonding activity too.
**Your kid can come back to the site, every year and see how tall his tree has grown!
Active for the Animals
Kids are always supercharged with energy, and are a big fan of your furry friends. Creating a fun, physically invigorating event with a fun run or parlor games, and having both party favors, plus rewards directed towards an animal charity or rescue center will make your party both relevant and fun. It’ll also help educate kids on animal adoption, fair treatment of animals, and proper pet care.
