Answer 1

You want an honest answer?

Until he&#039;s about 3 (at the earliest) he will never even remember his first or second birthdays (not unless you go out of your way to traumatize him or something!). Save yorself the $. Keep it super simple and cheap. On his 4th or 5th birthday go nuts. I have the memory of an elephant. I remember things in my childhood going back to when I was TWO WEEKS old. For real. And yet I cannot remember a single birthday prior to my 5th one nor can I remember a single Christmas prior to my 4th one.

Answer 2

When my brother turned one, my mom had a teddy bear themed party. It was precious. She set out different  teddy bears around the cake in middle of table.  You could have a room filled with lots of teddy bears for the kids to play with, and could also have each kid bring their own bear, as well. For a favor (if you really feel like splurging), you could give each kid a gift certificate to Build-A-Bear Workshop.

For food you can serve Teddy Grahams and different kinds of &quot;berr&quot;ies (sorry, that was really corny!). You can have &quot;Little Bear&quot; and &quot;Yogi Bear&quot; playing on tv for the kids to watch. You could also make the birthday cake in to a bear face-- just use chocolate frosting and make one big cake for the head and two little ones for the ears.

Happy Birthday to your son and hope his party goes really well ;)

&quot;drive&quot; the train in the paint to get the wheels covered with paint. then &quot;drive the train on the paper to make

Glue the trains onto another piece of paper and add some steam using cotton and glue.
