A Cute Way to Celebrate Your Little One’s Birthday

Posted on Feb 26, 2014 by 1 Comment

For me, the hardest part of planning a birthday party is trying to figure out how to keep the kids occupied when they’re not busy eating cake and ice cream. After my son’s friends trashed my house the year I failed to plan any organized activities, birthday entertainment is always at the top of my party planning list.

If you’re planning a party for toddlers or preschoolers, this birthday ring toss game looks like a fun yet inexpensive way to keep everyone occupied. This inflatable birthday cupcake comes with three rings. The cupcake measures 17″ tall and the rings are 6.5″ wide.

To make the game more fun, you could offer small prizes for getting one or more rings on the cupcake. For example, you could give kids a package of fruit snacks for getting one ring, a sticker for getting two rings, and a tiny jar of Play-Doh for getting three rings.

You can purchase the boy’s inflatable birthday ring toss game on Amazon for $7.99. There is a similar product for the birthday girl.

Some of the reviewers mention having trouble getting the product to stay inflated, but I don’t think you can expect a toy this cheap to last for a real long time. If I purchased it for a birthday party and it made it through an hour or two of the kids playing, I think I’d be more than satisfied.

What types of birthday games have you used to keep your little party guests occupied?

    That’s adorable and can be used for several years probably. Great price, too bad it doesn’t hold up to hours of use though.
