Toddler 3rd birthday soon, not many friends!

Any ideas for a toddlers 3rd birthday party with only about 5-6 kids in attendance? Ideally it would be outside in a garden setting (mid October)

Thanks xx

Hire a bouncy castle?

Sorry, just read "mid October". Erm... unlikely to be outdoors mid October.

Just have them round, put a bunch of toys on the floor and play some music.

Seriously they’re 2 and three year olds!

Have some nice party food and don’t forget the parents.

5-6 kids is plenty at that age. Any kind of party will work - just make sure there’s some food, balloons and make it short and sweet.

Take them to a local farm?
Our local forest school hosts parties- is there anything like that near you?
A pumpkin patch activity type place?

Neither of mine have ever had a birthday with other kids at 3. They're still really too young to care, so I wouldn't worry too much. If you feel you have to do something, do something small with a couple of close friends. They won't really care or remember at that age and will be happy with just having a fun day.

We had a party at home for my 3 year old with 6 friends :)
We played a few party games like pass the parcel and they just played with my daughters toys and lots of balloons.
They topped their own mini pizzas which we cooked for lunch and they did a craft activity while the pizzas cooked.
Then cake and biscuits for pudding.

That sounds like a fine amount to me! My kids never had parties at that age either
