This absolutely genius idea came from my big brother and his beautiful wife. They decided to make something special for their 4 year old boy for his birthday. Hmm.. what could it be.. The SHADOW THEATER of course. ;) All handmade. Here is a tutorial how to make one: Cereal Box shadow theater. This is a wonderful Montessori -inspired activity idea for the little infants as they focus well on black and white objects and pictures. This will allow them to practice eye object tracking. My brother and his wife also wrote the script to it which I will leave unpublished, but this is actually not that hard to make and will make your child's special day so much more fun, exciting and adventures. So here are some pictures to inspire you:
Birthday party ideas & recources:
Children's book: Happy Birthday to You!
Animal masks: 12 Asst. Kids Foam Animal Face Masks Zoo Farm Party
Face painting: Snazaroo Face Painting Kit, Rainbow
Music CD: Kids Dance Party
Journal for your child's birthdays: Your Birthday Book: A Keepsake Journal
Book Description:
Start this at birth, wrap it up at eighteen, fill it out each year in
between.
This is not anything like a baby book. It’s a birthday book! It was born from the simple idea that birthdays provide the perfect annual opportunity to preserve a sweet moment in time as your child changes from year to year. So it’s a multi-layered confection: annual touchstone, cherished ritual, and eternal keepsake. This journal provides fun, fast, and casual birthday activities for ages 1-18 as well as space to stick birthday photos and a random picture from each year, amusing and thought-provoking questions to ask your kid, and a time-capsule envelope for stashing away odds and ends (artwork, school papers, hand tracings, birthday cards, invitations, and other memorabilia).
From toddler hood to young adulthood to every hood in between, you’ll return to the same four activities for each birthday. The questions prompts, and tone may shift each year, but the essence intentionally remains intact.
