The best party for toddlers is an interactive party that includes discovery, play and song.  Of course, with these qualifications, just about every day is a party for toddlers.  What makes a Toddler Time Party special is the intentional interaction with other toddlers and caregivers.  A Toddler Time Party makes a fun second birthday party.

You’ll need balls of various sizes for kicking, throwing, rolling, and tossing fun.  Small balls are especially nice for small hands, and huge balls are great for picture opportunities.  If you decide to have a character-themed Toddler Time Party, look for a ball with the character on it.   

While planning this party, incorporate a few ball races into the party.  Have kids line up on one end of the party area and race to kick their balls to the opposite end.  Don’t forget to blow up a toddler pool and fill it up with colorful balls to make a ball pit.  These balls can be purchased at Walmart and Toys R Us.

Hula hoops are another toy worth including in your Toddler Time Party activities.  Small hula hoops can be purchased at your local Dollar Store in the summer.  With the price for the hula hoop so low, you can pick up enough to give to party guests as gifts.  At the party, let the children hula hoop and roll the hoops.  Hula hoops are even fun to toss up in the air.

Make sure to have a bubble machine blowing during the party.  Toddlers will have fun chasing and catching the bubbles.  Also, buy a few bubble wands to make giant bubbles to amaze little eyes.

 A Toddler Time Party doesn’t have to be elaborate.  You just need enough activities to keep little hands and feet busy.
