Party: mama, daddy & siblings and a cake & you will have a party. Might invite grandma & grandpa's if they live near.

Presents:, start now as you intend to continue might select something that is meaningful. One of mine loves shoes (it seams from birth) and the other money (the same). So I have added nice little collection for them over the years.

Cake: I always fixed mine the same cake each year. Now both of them are grown and get highly upset if they think they won't get their special cake (because I'm not there). Both say their cakes mean birthday. My daughter's is a cookie cake and my son's a dirt cake. Last year a girlfriend had to call to find out what a dirt cake was so she could make it.

The child will never remember their 2nd birthday so consider older kids that will be guests and pick a theme they will appreciate. They will have more fun and the result will be they possibly will look forward to the child's next birthday party (at 3 & 4 & 5 etc.)

Gift idea - A piggy bank with a $5 gift for each year of age up to age 5. So at 2 it has $10 put into it. You could even put in the $5 for year 1. After age 5 you give them $1 for each year. Start the habit of saving early in a child and they will have a better chance of saving as they get older.

You can also tell them it would be good for them to save 10% or at least $1 ( or half the amount) from other money they are given from other people. And of course you can tell them they can always put money in because they want to.

When they start to ask make it clear that no money can be taken out until they graduate high school.

The best birthday party ever:

lots of balloons on the floor when she wakes up
streamers hanging from her door when she wakes up
open gifts one at a time all day long and play with each gift as it is opened

party hats
those blow out party thingies (have a race to see who can blow the fastest)
musical chairs
freeze
stroller race (let your child sit in the stroller, and put another 2-y-o or baby doll in the other stroller; form 2 teams; on your mark, set, go; each team has to race to a destination and back with stroller and tag his/her teammate, who then races to and from and tags the next teammate until all the teammates have raced; the team whose last teammate runs back first wins--tons of fun for everyone)

It does matter if you have a good birthday party for your children. They may not remember the exact stuff, but what they remember that day is how they felt, that you made a big deal. It is a great way of creating memories each year, my mom always makes my birthdays special. By age 4, the child will begin anticipating his/her birthday party and all the ways you make it fun. My child's party was very inexpensive, but it was very memorable and fun. We took lots of pictures and talked about them for a couple weeks afterward (cementing the memory in her mind and reliving the feeling she felt). Next year, we will pull out those pictures again in anticipation of another, but different, party.

I don't know if you have one nearby or not, but I just saw a bunch of sports themed decorations at The Dollar Tree. Good luck!

Toddler in red and yellow Little Tikes car.My son's 2nd birthday is coming up in September. We live in Texas so you can only imagine how terribly hot it is down here. We live in an apartment so I really can't invite all the family over at once to celebrate. there is no room, and it is too hot to do anything outside (I tried that out last year, it was terrible!)


So if anyone has any suggestions as to a non-expensive idea for the party I would greatly appreciate any input.
Thank you.

Do you have a local skating rink? Sometimes McD's will rent you a party room for a reasonable rate. Also, is there a local YMCA or YWCA? They often have ideas. Places with too much noise often scare kids that age, so what about the library?

You could have a night party in the local park, keeping it simple. I hope those help.

A person dressed as a clown who can fold balloons into shapes is entertaining and colorful and ought to capture a child's attention.

We are having our 2 year old's birthday party at our town's Country Club this year because we are in the process of moving and can't have it at our house. I'm looking for ideas on activities for the little girls to do at the party since they won't have a bunch of toys to play with. Keep in mind this is winter and inside. Thanks!

2 year olds can't sit still for long so I would have lots of active games:
Dancing to music with streamers and bubbles
Circle games like Ring a ring of Roses, and the Hokey Cokey

Sleeping bunnies and The Dingle Dangle Scarecrow (where they get lots of chances to jump around)

Then something quieter like Pass the parcel
