Chil­dren’s birth­day

Interesting options for decorating a children's birthday

Chil­dren’s birth­day can be fun at home. Par­ents have to think through all the orga­ni­za­tion­al issues. So, it is impor­tant to decide on the theme of the hol­i­day and pick up all the nec­es­sary dec­o­ra­tions. Much depends on the age of the child — some­times it is worth con­sid­er­ing safe­ty. With the right approach, it will be quite easy to make a birth­day mem­o­rable.

    Main elements

    You can dec­o­rate a room for a child’s birth­day with the help of dif­fer­ent items. Much can be done by hand. Some­times it makes sense to buy ready-made jel­ry or invite pro­fes­sion­als to help with the imple­men­ta­tion of the idea. Com­bin­ing sev­er­al ele­ments, it is worth stick­ing to a sin­gle style.

    Oth­er­wise, the apart­ment or house will look too col­or­ful, over­loaded.

    balls

    A large num­ber of bal­loons is delight­ful. This dec­o­ra­tion is liked not only by chil­dren, but also by adults. You can take medi­um-sized prod­ucts, inflate with a hand pump and dec­o­rate the floor with walls. Heli­um bal­loons look espe­cial­ly good as dec­o­ra­tions, which after the hol­i­day, in gen­er­al, can be launched into the sky.

    Arch­es and fig­ures from bal­loons are very pop­u­lar. Usu­al­ly they are made to order, but you can try and assem­ble them on your own. There are oth­er options for using balls.

    • On the table. You can place a small box with a gift on each plate and tie a bal­loon with heli­um inside. Looks impres­sive and inter­est­ing.
    • Num­bers from bal­loons can be the cen­tral dec­o­ra­tion of the hol­i­day. This is espe­cial­ly true if dec­o­rate a small room.

    • In a large room, you can make pan­els and arch­es. The balls are attached to a sol­id struc­ture, a frame. So you can dec­o­rate the entire wall with the entrance to the room.

    • Heli­um bal­loons look unusu­al, on which dif­fer­ent pho­tographs of the birth­day boy are applied. These dec­o­ra­tions are made to order.

    • One large bal­loon can be filled with many small ones. So, it is enough to burst one, so that the rest are released. Chil­dren will love this kind of fun. Can­dies or oth­er sur­pris­es can be hid­den inside small balls.

    • Heli­um Jel­ry can be tied to heavy objects and placed around the room.

    • A fab­ric ham­mock is stretched under the very ceil­ing. It is nec­es­sary to hide balls of dif­fer­ent col­ors and sizes in it. It is worth plac­ing such a design not above the table, but in anoth­er area of ​​the room. At the most key moment of the hol­i­day, it is enough to remove the ham­mock for a rain of bal­loons to sur­prise every­one present.

    • For an evening hol­i­day, mod­els with diodes inside are a good solu­tion. Light­ing with balls looks inter­est­ing and spec­tac­u­lar.

    Flors

    A uni­ver­sal solu­tion for the birth­day of a girl of any age. Petals can be dot­ted with almost all free space. By the way, it will be inter­est­ing to make a ham­mock with such ele­ments over the birth­day girl’s bed, wake the girl up with con­grat­u­la­tions and shor her with rose petals. Very unusu­al and inter­est­ing.

    You can dec­o­rate the whole room with fresh flors by sim­ply plac­ing them around the perime­ter. And also the buds are appro­pri­ate on the table. In the cen­ter, you can put a flat dish, and lay out a flor arrange­ment on it.

    In gen­er­al, flors in any form will pro­vide a mag­i­cal aro­ma and fresh­ness of the room.

    Paper decorations

    There are a lot of ele­ments and vari­a­tions in this cat­e­go­ry. You can show your imag­i­na­tion by mak­ing amaz­ing jel­ry. It is note­wor­thy that paper ele­ments are most often made by hand. It will not take much time to dec­o­rate even a whole house or apart­ment. There are sev­er­al inter­est­ing options for paper dec­o­ra­tions.

    • Pom­pom balls. Usu­al­ly they are attached to the ceil­ing and walls. Pom­poms are easy to buy at the store, but you can make your own. Bright col­ors should be com­bined with each oth­er and with the theme of the hol­i­day. Usu­al­ly they take cor­ru­gat­ed paper — it has more dec­o­ra­tive prop­er­ties. Addi­tion­al­ly, rib­bons and fab­ric are used. Pom­poms can dec­o­rate a pho­to zone.

    A 1‑year-old baby is not so impor­tant how the room will be dec­o­rat­ed, in what style. It is only impor­tant that every­thing is beau­ti­ful and attracts atten­tion. Usu­al­ly the first birth­day is cel­e­brat­ed in the cir­cle of rel­a­tives and fam­i­ly friends.

    There are many options, the main thing is that some­one always looks after the chil­dren.

    Junior school­child­ren aged 6–10 often cel­e­brate their birth­day with friends. Chil­dren at this age love sur­pris­es, so you can neat­ly dec­o­rate the room at night. If some­thing glob­al is planned, then you can invite the child to sleep in anoth­er bed­room of the par­ents, so as not to inad­ver­tent­ly wake him up. Car­toons, games, books are cho­sen as themes — any­thing from the inter­ests of the baby.

    In this case, it is worth aban­don­ing the pho­to col­lage. The child may be uncom­fort­able in front of friends. At this age, it is espe­cial­ly impor­tant for chil­dren what peo­ple think of them. A good solu­tion would be decor that can be used for fun games. You can also pre­pare themed cos­tumes and an enter­tain­ment pro­gram.

    Chil­dren under 15 often choose the theme of the hol­i­day them­selves and talk with their par­ents about their desires. If you want to make a sur­prise, then you need to look at the inter­ests of the child. For the son, you should choose a more dis­creet decor, but the daughter’s room can be dec­o­rat­ed quite catchy. It is impor­tant to arrange a pho­to zone so that chil­dren can take beau­ti­ful pic­tures as a keep­sake.

    Boys and girls at this age are often addict­ed not only to games, films and books, but also to sci­ence. This can be used when dec­o­rat­ing a hol­i­day. It is espe­cial­ly inter­est­ing to beat astron­o­my, geog­ra­phy and his­to­ry.

    Arrang­ing a hol­i­day for a teenag­er, in gen­er­al, is not easy. Old­er chil­dren do not like to sit at home with friends, they always strive to dis­miss this idea. Hov­er, a qual­i­ty themed par­ty can change a teenager’s mind. It is very impor­tant to con­sult with the hero of the occa­sion or even involve him in the whole process.

    Every age has its own nuances. The birth­day of a small child should be dis­tin­guished by high-qual­i­ty and safe decor. In school years, chil­dren try to please their friends, so every ele­ment needs to be thought out. Teenagers are way­ward — their hol­i­day must ful­ly meet expec­ta­tions.

    That is why it is impor­tant to act togeth­er with the child, tak­ing into account his pref­er­ences, regard­less of age.
