Make a Paper Birthday Chain
If your little one is old enough to understand the days of the week and how to count down days- this is a great idea!
Add 14 paper rings to make the chain. Each night let your son or daughter rip off a chain, and count how many chains until his/her birthday.
It’s a fun way to build excitement for their special day.

Have a Yes Day
It's a fun way to really connect with and have a fun play day with your kid. It's also great way to celebrate their birthday if they are having a party to mark it on another day - like the following Saturday for example.
Basically, you let your child decide on what you’re both going to do that day.
Play Football? Yes!
Playground? Yes!
It's a cool way to make great memories for your child and make the day of their actual birthday really special!
A Surprise in the Morning
So simple and SO much fun.
Blow up a few balloons after your darling has gone to sleep. and hang them from their doorway using ribbon. They'll wake up the next morning to a fun birthday surprise of balloons and start the day off magically!
