<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOrganizing and holding a birthday party for your three year old can be very stressful, but it can also be a whole ton of fun. There are lots of basic and necessary tips to bear in mind to ensure a great time is had by all, especially the parents throwing the party. Here are some tips to get you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choose a Theme<\/strong> \u2013 By choosing a theme you make sure to keep the party goers busy. At this age, kids can definitely lose interest and become bored. And I mean fast. By having and following a party theme with complimenting activities, you will be sure to keep them busy and entertained for the entire occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\nControl The Guest List<\/strong> \u2013 The guest list should be determined by the party space and budget. By inviting too many guests, the party can easily get out of hand and become uncontrollable. So remember this is the third birthday and it truly is not necessary to invite everyone you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLess is More<\/strong> \u2013 The main question to ask yourself when planning the birthday bash is; \u201cHow long is too long?\u201d And \u201cHow long is just right?\u201d So when planning for three year olds, how much time should you allocate for the party. Don\u2019t forget three year olds still take naps. The consensus seems to be the party should last no longer than two hours. Word on the street is anything longer than that will be hard on the kids and equally hard on the parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSupervision<\/strong> \u2013 Don\u2019t try to do it alone. Have lots of additional assistance and supervision. Remember the more adults at a kid\u2019s party, the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDecor<\/strong> \u2013 When it comes to decor and decorations, at this age, it is important to follow the KISS rule (keep it simple silly). When it comes to three year olds, this is the perfect area to not go crazy and save yourself some money; all at the same time. Go with balloons, streamers, party hats and the like. By keeping the decor basic you will end up with a decorated space, save money, time and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGames and Activities<\/strong> \u2013 First and foremost, games are a fun and an excellent energy burning situation and that\u2019s a plus. Three year olds favor and love group games and there are lots of options to choose from. Plan some easy and straightforward games to keep the rascals active and busy. Don\u2019t forget that three years old don\u2019t always understand winning and losing so be prepared with some inexpensive and fun prizes on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFood Glorious Food<\/strong> \u2013 Have a bit of a conversation with the birthday boy or girl and find out what they want to eat at their party. It is a fact, three year olds consume very little at birthday parties. Have that conversation and provide a food menu that pleases the celebrator and the invited guests as well as the parents. Bite size and smaller portions work, sandwiches, pizza, fresh veggies and fruit, cookies and don\u2019t forget about beverages including juice boxes, water and milk. With a little attention and a bit of pre-planning you are well on your way to food glorious food!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
