Birthday ideas for 3 yr old.........?

My daughters 3 in January, and as were planning another baby it may be the last birthday she has as an only child so we wanna spoil her.



My home isnt large enough for 10 kids and adults and its going to be winter in January so we cant have it in the garden



Dont know enough people to invite to fill a hall or rec-centre so any advice?



Dont wanna do the boring mcdonalds party thing either.....



Shes a girly girl but enjoys getting dirty so any ideas.

well for the invites you can get balloons insert the invites in them blow them with helium attach little curly strings and watch with excitement as her friends pop them when there delivered!
Reply:if you are in ireland have you heard of kidspartyclub.ie they are fantastic i only have a small house if you have a space that you could fit a small stage its only 6foot long so it only takes up as much space as a table they put on a great puppet show and then they have a little puppet disco at the end it cost about 180 euro but worth every penny my daughter had them last week and loved it
Reply:try an indoor play area or look around where you live there may be plenty of small hall in the area for hire try play groups churches etc. you might be able to get an entertainer.
Reply:First of all I think you have it backward on the party as an only child.You should have the big party next year to show her she is special even if she isn't the only child.This year I would keep it simple.Maybe two friends and the Grandparents.She want remember this BD at three except for the pictures you take but she will remember the forth.Decorate and let her help(this year)She will enjoy it better without a lot of kids.At three they don't play that well togather.NEXT year,we have a place called sweet and sassy they do dress up and also there is a plce they get to cook it is called Small Chief.We also have Monkey Joe's where they have a lot of blown up things like slides and tunnels.But I still say wait till next year.
Reply:For my daughter's 4th birthday we had a party at Build A Bear Workshop. All the kids got to make bears. I had a total of 8 kids and I spent about $250 on bears. Then we came back to my house for food and cake. That's an idea. Also check your area for places where they have the indoor inflatables that the kids love to get in and bounce. There are a lot of those places like that where I live
Reply:A local sports centre maybe or the cinema
Reply:In our town we have a play cafe, there is stuff to climb on and ball pits and bouncing castles and they cater for birthdays, you can invite as many people as you want to pay for or can invite and you can pick the food and the cake. They have a throne for the birthday child with their name on it and how old they are. I took my daughter there for her third birthday and she loved it, she had ten kids there with her and the food was great and best of all there was no clean up, lol

Good luck, and happy birthday to your daughter, 3rd birthday is oh so cute!
Reply:what about a wacky warehouse party. as far as i remem they provide stuff like food and cake (but think the cake is an optional extra, u can bring ur own girly themed one)



they also do an adults party food platter too so u can eat etc.



its reasonably priced and always looks fun, i had to go round collecting all the balls.



other than that tbh i havent a clue soz. hope ur in the uk too
Reply:Chuck E Cheese would be a great party for a three year old, and some rec centers have theme parties for small groups such as gymnastics, dance, cheer-leading and such. I would suggest a beadery (where the girls make their own jewelry but I think she may enjoy that when she's older). Or you can call up a local Children's Museum and see if they offer parties. There is also bowling as an option, and movie parties at some cinemas like Showcase Cinemas and National Amusements (same company).
Reply:How about your local park, with a good kid's playground.



That way you can have as many or as little kid's as you want, they can run and around, play, get dirty and do whatever.



As for food, how about a BBQ ? All I mean by this is sausages in bread. Kid's LOVE these, AND it won't break the budget. Get a couple of packet's of chip's, lollie's, soft drink, a few balloons here and there, and wulla, you have yourself a FUN kid's party.
Reply:Do you have maybe a Chuck E Cheese or something in your area? Kids that age love this kind of stuff.
Reply:a themed party may seem tedious but it is most enjoyed by the kids. example: a tinkerbell party where everyone comes in as fairies (since your daughter is a girly-girl). ask someone to do face painting and magic shows. and then, you can set up a fairy-themed play pen which can be rented. these are only some of the suggestions, but with her age, you have a lot of options. hope this somehow helps:) good luck!
