Kids with summer birthdays always seem to have all the fun. They get to have garden parties, barbeques, camping trips, days out to the park or even the local lido while the poor children of winter have to make do with church halls and living room lark abouts. Well, that’s all about to change.
We’re aiming to bring joy to the indoor birthday parties by helping you discover great ways to keep your children and their friends entertained inside this year. Rainy days don’t have to mean cancelled parties – there’s plenty of stuff to do indoors and we’re going to show you how to do it!
Make themed cakes
Be the talk of the classroom for weeks by making themed treats to go with your party. We’re in love with these Minion cupcakes but there are loads of other cakes to be made, all you need is a touch of creativity and some inspiration for your child’s favourite characters.
