So I know we've talked about this a little bit but I dont know if we talked "activities".. I know I have time however since the baby 2 is coming in Oct and then the holidays-I know I'm going to be super busy so I want to prepare.
I already booked the place and date- now I'm working theme and activities and this is where I'm stuck...last year I made a "play pasture" with toys, books, a climber and slide, a rocking horse...and they were a year or so- and it worked.
This year I think they are too young for a craft per se (I might do an art table with crayons) but do you think its lame to do a play area again- I would bring the climber and slide and Im getting the step 2 coaster soon and I was going to make a ball pit...do you think something else? Thing they need a character or something? someone to "lead" singing or dancing or something?
I was going to do a bouncy house but I think I should wait one more year- so thats why I'm stuck for "activities".
I'm thinking it will be a sesame street theme- or Yo Gabba Gabba theme

Re: **2nd Birthday activities**
Very Cool!! Thank you for sharing this..I had some of those ideas but she had some stuff I totally didnt think of... (like using the goldfish crackers- I was going to use actual fish...LOL)
I thought the Oscar's garbage can game was a cute idea... especially for young kids.
I think it's too soon to decide on a theme. Since right before ethan turned 2 he has been in to chuggington, cars, toy story, nemo and monsters. It changes so much at this age.
My girlfriend did a bounce house at her daughters 1st party. I was thinking of one for sophia's party b/c the kids are all the same age. I think if they are all around the same age then it's fine. It's when there is a big age difference that I would worry.
I think that sounds like a fun party. The kids will definitely be entertained

DD isn't 2 yet. But she loves animals and originally I was kinda thinking about an animal theme one and liked your pics you posted of the play pasture. DD still loves her rocking horse and climbers and slides are a huge hit. I can't imagine at all that in the span of 3 more months a play area would suddenly be lame for her. I turned our kiddie pool into a ball pit the other day bc it was too cold for swimming and dd and the 3 yr old neighbor boy loved it, so I think that would be definitely be age appropriate.
DD does love to color....but we keep her confined in the high chair when she does so that it doesn't get on the walls and stuff. She only recently stopped eating crayons. I think the character could be hit or miss. Some kids that age may be afraid, and some may love it.

Wait is the step 2 coaster the roller coaster? Like the little car on the ramp? If so, I am so excited for L, haha. That is dd's favorite toy at the local bounce house place. I have been considering getting one, but not sure where we would put it.
Yeah my cousin had one and her kids out grew it- so we're going to pick it up in the next couple of weeks...
Wow, he is going to love that! DD would ride it all day long if we had one.
