What are some good birthday party ideas for children?

Good birthday party ideas for children include activities that most children enjoy. Craft making, outdoor field day activities or scavenger hunts are all good themes for a successful party.

Backyard camping or indoor sleepovers are also good birthday party ideas. Movies, popcorn, candy, cake, games and a late bedtime at these parties give children a fun-filled night.

Plan the birthday party at a local museum or water park for a fun-filled day that requires little work. These birthday parties are typically a hit with both parents and children.

If you have access to a large kitchen, plan a cookie decorating party where the kids decorate sugar cookies and have a treat to take home at the end.
