Baby's First Birthday
Invite their Toddler Friends

Invitations:
Cut a piece of paper into a square.  Fold in half, fold corners of triangle toward center.  This should look somewhat like a diaper.  Write invitation inside.  Add drawing or real safety pin on front.

Decorations:
Balloons and streamers

Cake and food:
Finger foods for toddlers
Big Cake with 1 candle

Goodie Bags:
Toddler geared toys and bubbles

Games and Activities:
Baby Derby:  Have two contests, one for crawlers and one for toddlers.   Babies at one end, parents at the other.

Sing alongs:  Parents sit with kids in a circle and sing their favorite kid songs.

Musical Balloon Freeze:  Have kids bop their balloon in the air to music.  When the music stops they must grab the balloons and freeze.

Bubble Catching:  Blow bubbles for the kids and let them "catch" them.

Peanut Butter Dough Creations: 
Make your creations and eat them!
1 cup peanut butter ~1 cup honey ~2 cups powdered milk (use just the powder)  Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.  If needed, add more powdered milk to make the dough workable.   (NOTE: if you have a child younger than 1 possibly up to the age of 2, you may not wish to use honey, substitue brown sugar and use some milk if too dry)

Spiral Kites:
Need paper plates, markers or crayons, yarn or string
Have the children decorate the plate with colors.  Next, have an adult cut out a spiral shape from the plate, leaving a 1 1/2" center circle.   Tie the string onto the center.  Let the kids "fly" their kites.
