My sons bday is May 1st. I have 4 kids, I have been racking my brain for ideas for his party and I forgot about the pbs website, I loved this site when my older two where little. Thanks!! I also think it is important to keep it simple and have fun!

i'm doing a blues clues party for my lil guys 2nd birthday. for his first we did curious george. i got on pbsparents.org and they had all the stuff i needed to make hats and game ideas and such. they've got something like it on nickjr. too so we're going to use it this year. they all had fun with it last year, we're going to play easy games like put the tail on the donkey, and duck, duck, goose this year. the bounce house sounds like a good idea too.

I am makng a Fancy Nancy Tea Party for my daughter's 2nd birthday. We are using the community hall and inviting practically the whole neighborhood. There will be desserts served and everyone needs to dress up fancy. I am soooooo freaking super-excited because I have been planning this party for the past 3 months! Games we are playins are Pin the Tiara on the Princess, Dress-Up, Decorate your own Sundae, and I'm going to have a Pinata. Maybe it's not such a 2 year old party, but she's not going to rememebr it anyway, as long as she gets cake!! hahah/

I think the jumping castle is an excellent idea - I have 3 boys aged 6,3 and almost 2 and they all love the bouncy castle!! If it's a nice day you could also put out a paddling pool - try one of those larger inflatable ones that have little crawl-through parts and seats - they'll spend hours in it!!

I would personally say that for a 2 year old's birthday they get the most enjoyment out of just running around and playing with other kids. But if you would like a few activities I would recommend open ended ones like:

Provide a large quantity of balls (at least one per child) and let them make up thier own game.

or go to a store near by and as for some old boxs, buy some paint and other exciting things and lay them out in the back yard and let the children decide what they would like to make, it would take minimal supervision and children LOVE boxs

I know my 2 year will sit and she'll play games like duck, duck, goose already.  maybe and activity like decorating cup cakes would be a good idea.  My daughter loves doing that, and the older kids would like it too.  or a craft with stickers.
