Any ideas for DD’s birthday while in lockdown?

[Littlemiss74]

DD will be 8 this week. After a difficult, stressful few weeks we have had lots of tears this weekend. I think it’s starting to get to them now.

We’ve obviously cancelled her party but I want to do what I can to make it a special day. I have decorations and presents have been delivered but what else can we do? I know the main thing is we are all safe but it’s quite hard on kids in’t it so just want to see her happy.

Any ideas please?

Treasure hunt? Some party games just as a family might be fun.

Oh yes that’s a great idea, she will love that. Thanks

We did a Zoom party which was good fun!

I saw something the other day where they had managed to get hold of masses of balloons and blown up enough overnight to fill their sitting room. Must have taken hours .

Get people to send Birthday Message videos to her .

Looking for tips myself, DD turns 7 next week.
Somebody I know asked people to put messages up in the neighbourhood saying Happy Birthday and they went for a walk to see them all, we are in a village so I’m going to ask on our Facebook group.

My daughter turned 8 last weekend. We gave her a spa day. Borrowed a foot spa from a friend down the road, got loads of face masks and nail varnishes out, let her use all my lotions I've been given over the years, and just pampered her. Then we had party food for lunch and all wore party hats and got the family on houseparty app for the cake and candle blowing out. She loved it. She said it was the best birthday ever ❤️

If you have spotify invite family to add to a birthday playlist for her?

Mocktail making? Movie night?

My daughter's friend had a birthday this week and loads of the kids from the class recorded a video message for her and shared it on the whatapp group. The videos were adorable.
