Well, are they still available in original format, the children’s parties? So much has already been thought of that it is becoming increasingly difficult to organize a fun children’s party for the children. However, there are some options at home or outside the home. It just depends on what you want as a parent/educator and this of course in consultation with the birthday boy or girl. Because that is a moment when your child can also “want” something. But hey, “wanting” can also be controlled…
A children’s party, but different
There are plenty of possibilities, but you just have to know it, think of it or someone has to tell you. If not, we often end up with more of the same. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, because a birthday child is already a happy child anyway. However, as a parent you sometimes like to throw a completely different party.
If you are creative yourself, there are probably plenty of things you can think of. But then you also want to be able to shop ready-made for the children’s party. Yet the vast majority of parents/educators are not creative enough to come up with something different every time. But we do want the nicest and best for our child. Then there are always companies that offer everything you can choose from via their website. This article lists some examples of how you can spice up a children’s party and where you can go. A conscious choice has been made for very different things and for some of them there is a direct link to a party that can supply what is described.

Ideas for the children’s party
Ride carriage
Be transported differently in Amsterdam! Then a ride in a carriage from days gone by could be an option. Young children cannot imagine that in the past people used to get from A to B with the horse in front of the cart. But especially if they also like animals, it can be recommended. Various providers in Amsterdam can transport you through the city in this way. The slowness of the transport means that you see a lot more and that can also be a lot of fun for children. For example, combine it with looking for something specific in the crowd. Enough time to take it all in.
Paintball
Of course not suitable for the littlest ones, but paintball can be a very active and fun activity. In addition to the game, there is also a bit of team building involved. Different material is used so that no bruises can occur. There are several providers for paintball especially for children.
Bouncy castle at home
There are bouncy castles at various places where children can have fun. Children simply find bouncy castles fun and even at different ages. What could be more fun than renting a bouncy castle if you want to organize a children’s party at home? There are inflatables of all sizes available for rent, so measure your garden carefully and see what is possible. A supplier of bouncy castles in every region is Bouncy Castle Rental.
Lipdub
Want to make a lip dub together? Can be fun too! It is possible in various places in the Netherlands and it actually involves making a video clip together in one take. You can bring your own items, but the organizers often have items with you as well. The preparation alone is fun. Dagjelipdubmaken is one of the providers.
Survival
Survival is cool and basically for adults and it is often intense enough for that. But there are survivals specially put together for children and with the right guidance. We will find team building (for example making a raft together), but also zip lining and braving rope bridges over land and water. Alsomeerjungle is one of the parties that offers survivals for children.
Theme
However, it is better to stay at home with a theme of searching yourself out, often yielding nothing or more of the same. There are companies specialized in theme parties, also for children. For children they have also divided them into age groups. The theme party, including the costume box and much more for a fee, is a complete package and that is nice for a theme party. Abracadabra is one of the companies that shapes this in a fun way.
Finally
So you can choose at home or elsewhere, but if you travel elsewhere you also have to worry about transport. Or, if it’s not too far away, have the kids come to the location in question. All in all, there are plenty of possibilities, even if you are not creative enough to come up with something new every year. Find something fun with your child that he or she can look forward to and that you can easily organize yourself. Have fun!
