My daughter Maeve turns 4 next week, and we’ve got alot of fun things planned for her. She’s at that great age where it’s all about princesses, fairies, Barbie, her stuffed animals (doggies), and helping Mommy in the kitchen and the garden.
For her birthday, we’re hosting a “bear party” at Bear-On-The-Square here in our home town. Kinda like Build-a-Bear Workshop at the mall, but even more quaint. We’re expecting a total of 10 kids, a mix of boys and girls. At the party, the kids will design & decorate mini t-shirts for their bears to wear, then they’ll make the bears, then cake & presents, and the grand finale is a Bear Parade with an actual human-sized bear leading the way!
I LOVE birthdays and celebrating my children’s special days have been a highlight of my mommyhood. Please comment on this blog post if you’d like to share any creative ideas you’ve done or seen for this age group, girls or boys. I’m sure we’d all love to hear eachother’s fun ideas and experiences on birthdays.
The other tradition we always do is a birthday muffin in the morning, with a candle, and the family sings a good morning “happy birthday” song. Kinda fun, and a great way to start the day. We also have a Mickey Mouse oversized birthday hat with candles on top that light up when you press a button (which of course we got in Orlando), so whoever’s the birthday girl or boy wears the hat.

Dear Kris, thanks for sharing the joy to celebrate your daughter’s 4th birthday! I live in Mexico and we also love to celebrate birthdays. I think Maeve is lovely and wish her lots of fun at her party.
Thanks also for all the info you sent me, It was very helpfull on planing for my future Child care.
At my school we use to wear red t shirt instead of the regular we use for uniform which was always white, that way everybody already knew it is your birthday just because you were wearing red! Me and the teachers also wear red on our birthdays.
It is also fun to create a “Future little treasure box” You need an empty shoe box, you will fill it with anything you want your daughter to remember in the future, could it be the “toys r us” paper with the toys and prices of the day, the missing shoe, Maeve’s picture with her friends, drawings, what you can buy with $1.00 today, etc.
Hope you have fan
