*A Tip From Grandma Mary

1st birthday party activities are a wonderful way for children and parents to play and learn together.

So be sure and give your guests plenty of time to play with their child and to visit with the other adults as well.

Here are some other 1st birthday party activities that you can use.

Another great idea is to use multimedia.

1st Birthday party Activity Multimedia

Show a video about your child's first year. With today's computer video programs this can be a fairly easy and very fun project.

You can include video footage and still pictures as well, all mixed together with some appropriate music.

And when you have your child's video all edited you can mail your production off to family and friends who were unable to attend.

Your Theme Music

You can pick up a music CD that compliments your 1st birthday party theme and use it in the background when your playing party games.

Pass Around The Photo Album

It you haven't done so already, this is the perfect time to put your child's photo album together. Pass it around for your guests to look at and hear them say "my how your child has grown."

Theme Related DVD or Video

Show a theme related DVD or video. If your theme is based on Winnie the Pooh, you could play a Winnie the Pooh movie or short video.

Story Time

A quiet 1st birthday party activity.

Gather everyone around in a circle and read a short story.

Be sure to put lots of enthusiasm and energy into your reading so your little guests will be interested.

Also remember to choose a book with lots of pictures to share.

Children love it when a grown-up reads them a good story. And storytelling is a fun experience for both you and your young listeners.

Yes, storytelling is a wonderful activity for your child's birthday, but it's also a very special way to bond with your child anytime.

Our children have fond memories of having stories read to them by mom and dad, and now our grandchildren love to have us read stories to them.

Here at fun kid birthday parties, we've discovered an excellent website dedicated to the art of story telling. Take a quick look at The Story Telling Resource Centre you'll be glad you did.

These are just a few 1st birthday party activities to get your own creative juices going.

But be sure to check back with us often here at fun kid birthday parties because we're constantly adding new information, tips and ideas to help you have the best first birthday party ever.
