For a child, his birthday is a magical holiday. And on the first anniversary of my daughter, I want to please her by giving the most desirable and joyful holiday. For some girls, it is enough to invite a couple of girlfriends for their birthday, but there are those who have the whole group in kindergarten as close friends. In this case, it is best to celebrate the child's 5th birthday in kindergarten.
Where to begin
Each institution has its own orders and traditions, which you may not know. Therefore, it is best to discuss the rules of the holiday with the teacher and the head of the kindergarten, discuss its main points, find out what can and cannot be done.
This should be done a few weeks before the holiday. Then, if you are refused to hold the holiday, it will be possible to find another place. In addition, you will have time to prepare everything. It is advisable to enlist the support of a teacher during a conversation, because it is not so easy to cope with a multitude of happy five-year plans.
Decide in advance on the date (if the girl's birthday falls on a day off) and the time of the celebration. As a rule, in kindergartens, holidays are held after breakfast or lunch. But if you want to organize a full-fledged holiday with an entertainment program, it is best to do it after a nap. Until the end of the "working" day you will have a couple of hours, and the birthday girl and her classmates will go home full of joyful impressions.
Talk to the teacher about an entertainment program - you yourself will entertain the kids or invite animators. In the first case, the teacher can tell you the scenario of the holiday.
Gifts and gifts
Do not try to give your daughter your gifts in the presence of other children. Not all parents can buy expensive gifts for their crumbs, so don't tease these kids. In kindergartens, the parent committee usually collects money for gifts for the birthday and buys the same things that are given from the kindergarten.
These can be toys, puzzles, board games, etc. But it is not worth giving books to a five-year-old girl, since she simply will not appreciate this gift.
Do not forget to prepare small gifts for your little guests. Kids, of course, understand that your daughter should receive gifts on this day, but children are children. So please them with surprises. These do not have to be expensive gifts, a set of pencils, small notebooks, stickers or other trinkets that are so cute to a child's heart will be enough. You can just limit yourself to balloons in memory of the holiday.
Group decoration
Decorating the group does not require much effort from you, the main thing is to create a festive atmosphere. You can decorate the group during the daytime sleep of the kids. Such a surprise will cause a storm of delight. Or you can decorate the room the night before, when the kids go on their last evening walk. Then a pleasant surprise will await them in the morning.
You can decorate the group with balloons and posters. If you wish, you can hang garlands of colored paper. By the way, the birthday girl can help you prepare jewelry for the group. Or, during the daytime games in kindergarten, you can invite the children to make various crafts, which you will then use to decorate the group.
Treat
Some kindergartens do not allow birthday cakes. Discuss this point with your teacher in advance. She will also tell you what is better to offer the kids instead of the cake - muffins, cakes, cookies, rolls or something else.
You should not buy chocolate sweets as a treat, because some of the younger guests may be allergic to chocolate. Limit yourself to caramels, marmalade, marshmallows. Fruits - apples, bananas, grapes will also be a good treat.
From drinks, natural juice or compote is preferable, rather than carbonated lemonade. For a holiday, it is best to buy disposable dishes so as not to bother either yourself or the nanny with washing glasses and saucers.
