I didn't do cartoony stuff though, just real trucks and some Etsy decorations and stickers for favors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2143700 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 13:53:34 +0000 Alivoo01 2143700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is into anything with wheels or sports like soccer, tennis, and basketball so we'll probably pick one of those to be the theme. I'm still trying to decide if we want to do a party party or keep it small. We had a HUGE party for his 1st. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2143685 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 13:44:52 +0000 rattles 2143685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: thanks!

Kind of random, but that's his obsession at the moment, so it's what we're doing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2143506 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 12:23:37 +0000 Mommy Finger 2143506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah. . . . we didn't do a theme. In fact, I didn't even think about any sort of decorations until the night before. So I just picked up some balloons at Party City. But the food was amazing! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2143280 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 10:15:44 +0000 Kimberlybee 2143280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is really into birds and Frozen right now. Her favorite color is blue so I think we'll go with Rio- bird theme. I need a break from glitter and Frozen ASAP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2143251 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 09:46:47 +0000 pmerr 2143251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm doing a music party. He loves instruments- piano, drums, guitar. He also loves Daniel Tiger, so I'll have to see what we actually do. I have a little bit of time. We're only 19 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2143231 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 09:32:04 +0000 Adira 2143231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Elmo! But we didn't do any activities - it was just family. The kids just played with toys or colored. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2143223 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 09:29:27 +0000 jhd 2143223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: that dessert is adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2143085 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 08:21:59 +0000 rattles 2143085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was just a small shindig (I was two weeks PP with DD2), but it was Daniel Tiger themed. The invites, decor, cake and fruit tart (it was brunch) were themey. I printed some DT coloring sheets and had bubbles and kinetic sand out for play. </p> [attach=2013/15/nmst4o.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2142996 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 07:31:01 +0000 ValentineMommy 2142996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for Thomas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2142989 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 07:25:18 +0000 sumer08 2142989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For LO's 2nd birthday party theme, we opted for a tractor theme, since he LOVES them. As far as activities at his party, I set up a playdoh table and had a coloring table with washable markers and crayons. Since his party was at a park, I brought outdoor toys, including a bunch of balls for the little ones to kick around the grass. The kids seemed to love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2142516 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 16:53:01 +0000 dolphin 2142516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Minnie Mouse theme because she loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2142436 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 16:01:38 +0000 GrapeCrush 2142436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For DS, we had a vintage Mickey mouse theme(really it was just the cake and invites haha). No activities. For DD we aren't sure yet. Maybe my little pony. Or sprinkles. Again, no activities </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2142407 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 15:40:45 +0000 MsInformation 2142407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO really likes The Beatles, so we did a Beatles-themed party, which just consisted of punny labels for the food to amuse us and the adults (The Salad of John and Yoko, All My Oven cookies, Yellow Submarine sandwiches, etc.) and a Happy Birthday construction paper banner that looked like it was made from records. We also found Yellow Submarine lunchboxes for cheap on Amazon and used those for goody bags. But we didn't have any Beatles-themed activities. We just let the kids play and run around the living room with Beatles songs in the background. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2140936 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 21:52:58 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2140936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the rate things are going, it'll be Paw Patrol. She loves it so so much, and at 20 months I don't see that ending soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2140867 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 20:06:12 +0000 autumnlove 2140867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pete the Cat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2140819 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 18:41:53 +0000 autumn865 2140819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For second birthday we had a cat theme. DD LOVES our cat so it suited her. I had a cat cake and cookies along with other "kitten chow". The kids ran around wearing cat ears and tails. The only "activity" I had was coloring cat masks. DD's birthday is late August so mostly the activities were playing in the water table and on the swingset fort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2140748 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 16:20:18 +0000 Ree723 2140748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a butterfly theme as DD loves them and it was easy to do, not to mention very cute. Most of the kids attending were older (all family and the kids of my close friends) so we didn't have any theme related activities - just volleyball and croquet set up in my parents' backyard and a piñata filled with candy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2140719 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 15:24:32 +0000 twoofeverything 2140719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We loosely based it on Disney's "Up." Balloons, flying, clouds, rainbows...it was fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2140545 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 09:56:38 +0000 coopsmama 2140545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll probably just do a small family get together for DS's second birthday in June but I'm planning on a theme incorporating trains because he is currently obsessed with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2140534 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 09:39:16 +0000 yoursilverlining 2140534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did Winnie the Pooh themed. Didn't have activities (kids just played with lo's toys), but did have some big cardboard character cutouts. And themes food.

They also played with all his outside toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2140452 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 02:47:16 +0000 Arden 2140452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a "You are My Sunshine" party, and Vi kept saying we needed lemons so it became a sunshine and lemonade party. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2140428 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 23:28:01 +0000 Corduroy 2140428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a "birthday" theme since DH is anti theme. It was a bagel brunch. For activities we had a bubble machine with bubble wands and a water table. The kids were aged 1-3 and we didn't try to direct any activities. DD played at the water table the whole time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2140397 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 22:17:02 +0000 MaisyMay 2140397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a polka dot themed party, and the best part was the inflatable pool full of balloons and balls that we had in part of the room. It was held in our church fellowship hall in December and was fun. Our favors were bottles of balloons and candy.</p> <p>This year, for her third birthday, we are doing a tea party themed party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2140374 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 21:26:26 +0000 cmomma17 2140374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QueensBee: glad I'm not alone! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-themes-1#post-2140352 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 20:46:56 +0000 Smurfette 2140352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
