Birthday ideas for a 2 year old boy (very active)?

Question

My son has just turned 2 today and we still haven't decided what to do for him. We don't have a lot of children with the extended family. We do have a 6 year old daughter though. He is a very active little boy, he loves music, playing catch, being chased, chasing others and drawing on paper.

When he was 1, I just had the family come over for cake and pizza and we opened gifts, but this time, I really want him to have a fun day - they kid of day where he's had so much fun he just falls asleep all of the sudden from all the excitement. Basically has so much fun his little body can't take any more, lol.

We are thinking of maybe doing a fun day at the Pier in San Francisco.

Answer 1

For my son's 2nd birthday, we invited 8 of his closest friends over and they played in the backyard. We all ate pizza, cake, & opened presents. It was fun.

my baby turns 3 next week! For his 3rd birthday, we are inviting 8 of his closest friends to Build A Bear. I think this is going to be so much fun!

On his actual birthday, we're going to the zoo! We also did this last year, so now it's a tradition

Answer 2

Here are many ideas: . For a sleepover party you should have pizza. Then turn on a movie. have games handy and let them have sleeping bags in a big open area, much more fun. Let them stay up late, but don't be too late. Have continuous movies to keep them occupied (during the night) leave them alone! Have snacks handy too for midnight cravings ! . Instead of the same superhero themed party, why not a "make up your own superhero party." The way it works is that each child is invited to the party must come as a superhero that they made up themselves and a costume. Additionally, they must have invented superpowers, a back story, villains they must battle, a sidekick if they are so inclined, and prizes can be handed out accordingly . Every little boy usually like to play cops and robbers. How about throwing a mystery party? The children can be divided into two teams and each team is given a set of clues and who ever solves the mystery first wins. The mystery party can be set in the 19th century or the 21st century; it all depends on your child. . Western theme parties for boys are always good. Just decorate a room in your home as a saloon, and the children can drink juice out of shot glasses. The birthday boy can be the sheriff and invited guests can come as miners, farmers, outlaws, and deputies. . Detective Party— Does your son love to play private eye? Then he needs to celebrate his next birthday with a detective-themed event! The kids are entertained by an exciting “who-done-it” style game. Perfect for the eight to ten crowd. . Survivor Party— The Survivor birthday party is designed for the younger set. Perfect for the boy between the ages of six and eight. The kids are encouraged to move with the exciting games in this package. You will not have to worry about all of the energy that boys need to burn off with this exciting theme! . Cost of birthday party activity: About $10.00 worth of $1.00 items purchased at your local dollar store. Birthday party planning information: The $1.00 items are put in a heavy bag. Each game winner inserts his hand (without looking)into the bag to choose a prize. Be sure to play enough games so that everyone wins a prize. The day before the party, we charge up remote-controlled vehicles. We then create a checkered Start flag and a Finish Line sign with white paper, a black marker and a ruler. We designate a path throughout the house and usually have the Finish Line as a kithen chair (only one vehicle can maneuver through at a time). Then we have the boys race their vehicles to the Finish Line. We do elimination rounds until we are left with one winner. The boys not racing love to watch and cheer on the racers. Other suggestions or comments: We also play "Casino" games. We have a small slot machine that we fill with $5 worth of quarters and let the boys take turns pulling the handle until one player wins the jackpot. Tic-Tac-Toe is an oldie but goodie. We play on a write-n-wipe or chalkboard and winners are eliminated based on two wins out of three game rounds. Once everyone has won a prize we settle down with popcorn and a favorite movie . I REALLY HOPE I HELPED!

What does he watch on tv? Pick a character and go with it. As for a party, invite no more than 4 or 5 kids. Make the party two hrs. long and have pizza and cake. Have all the toys out and let them play. Take lots of pics.

For ours we're doing a Birthday Jam, they can make instruments, and blare the music. Also check out something called Baby Loves Disco - where clubs open up to kids during the day.

Answer 5

Just have a fun day at the park with everyone that you want to invite. Bring lots of outdoor toys and craft stuff that everyone will enjoy doing together. You dont have to spend a lot to have a lot of fun together. Make it kinda like a picnic. Have fun!!
