Lockdown birthday party - 11 yr old

[peacockfeather11]

My DD's birthday is coming up and I have no clue as to what to do!

We can't go anywhere in Tier 4 and she won't even see her friends due to schools being closed. I'm sure she'll organise a zoom call with a few of her friends but apart from that does anyone have suggestions to how I can make it special at home?

My daughter's 11th tomorrow. Just having a takeaway as there is nothing else to do.

Take away, movie at home and an iou

What does she like doing? Can you recreate it at home?

For my DD s 9th we had a 'Day at Hogwarts'. So we made bath bombs and slime in potions. Invented our own version of Quidditch. Tried writing with quills (feathers). DH started teaching chess. Got the telescope out to look for stars.
Favourite food for dinner.

Plan for a half birthday celebration as well where you can have a party, day trip etc. My daughter turned 13 in lockdown in November so her weekend away and meal out were both cancelled, we had cake and Nando’s takeaway, her choice but that was about all we could do. We will do her weekend away as soon as we are able to. Mine was April and absolutely nothing was open not even the car parks at our country parks so we couldn’t even go for a nice walk. Again we just had a cake and takeaway and I had a half birthday theme park break in October to make up for it. It’s rubbish but just make it the best you can and I hope she has a lovely day!

We've had 2 lockdown kids birthdays and did things like homemade spa sessions, treasure hunt, film night with living room sleepover.

My daughter and son have had their birthdays in lockdown. We bought some lovely decorations from Ginger Ray. Balloon arch, banners etc. They are in lovely colours and the kids loved having their photos with them.
Then we ordered an afternoon tea from a local place....although you could just make this. Sandwiches, cakes, scones...and prosecco for us parents! We also just went on a walk but it was a really lovely day!

If she likes animals there are some drive through safari places open and zoos?

15 year old settled for presents and cake as usual and a Nandos take out. Plus an IOU for the activity of his choice w friends when circumstances allow. Ds2 has a birthday next month and I imagine it will be similar .
