9 Birthday Traditions and Activities for Your Child\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n\"1st\n

Surprise them with a birthday balloon wake-up!<\/h2>\n

Start your child\u2019s day with a big birthday surprise! Tape balloons across your child\u2019s bedroom doorframe. When they wake up, they\u2019ll open their door and see a wall of balloons to run through! You can also scatter balloons down the hallway, like a colorful runway for the birthday boy or girl.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\"1st\n

Create a birthday time capsule.<\/h2>\n

Remember their birthday forever by putting together a time capsule on their special day. Collect little pieces and put them in a box. You can add a photo of your child, their birthday party invitation, one of your child\u2019s drawings, a letter written to them (to open when they turn 18), and any other sentimental pieces. A personalized book like <\/span>All About Me<\/span><\/a> is both a time capsule and a sweet storybook that captures your child\u2019s favorite things and drawings! Perfect for kids ages 2-8 this unique birthday gift can be enjoyed now and when they are older.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Measure their growth.<\/h2>\n

Mark your child\u2019s height every year on their birthday! This is a fun activity to celebrate how much they\u2019ve grown over one year and to make them feel special. A <\/span>personalized growth chart<\/span><\/a> can help you chart your child\u2019s growth and is a sweet keepsake to roll up and save once they’ve grown older. Years from now, you can pull out the growth chart and remember every precious year!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\"1st\n

Give them a special gift on their birthday.<\/h2>\n

Surprise your child with a unique and personalized birthday gift! A personalized birthday book like <\/span>My Superfantastic Birthday Adventure<\/span><\/a> puts your child in the story to journey around the world and spread word about their birthday! This special storybook is a keepsake to cherish forever. If you are celebrating a baby\u2019s first birthday, a book like <\/span>Baby\u2019s First Birthday in pink<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>blue<\/span><\/a> will mark this milestone and help you remember it forever.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\"1st\n

Create a photo collage backdrop.<\/h2>\n

Select photos of your child to create a banner or decorative backdrop. You can craft this photo collage as a decoration for their actual birthday or use it as a backdrop for the child\u2019s birthday party. When their birthday is over, save the collage as a memory.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Write a birthday letter or take a birthday video each year.<\/h2>\n

Send a special message to your child! If they love receiving mail, mail them a note or leave it under their pillow on their birthday morning. You can also create a sweet message and play it for them on your phone. A fun way to get the whole family involved is to ask grandparents, aunts and uncles to record a video and send it for your child to watch!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Give a gift, donate a gift.<\/h2>\n

Every year, ask guests to bring a birthday present for your child and one to donate. By donating, you are helping your child to build compassion and learn about the importance of giving to others.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\"1st\n

Plan a birthday scavenger hunt.<\/h2>\n

Hide their present as part of a birthday scavenger hunt! Leave clues and challenges around the house to complete, in order to find their gift. This an exciting tradition that you can add to every year!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Start a family activity tradition.<\/h2>\n

Pick an activity that you enjoy every year like bowling, going to the movies, reading a storybook together, or taking a family trip. Your child will love spending time together doing some of their favorite activities!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
