The ring toss game was a huge hit at our most recent party, and I’m sure we’ll do something similar next year. There wasn’t much structure to these games, so kids could do them independently or competitively with a parent or friend.

We did a toss game (toss the coal in the hole for our train themed party) and a ring toss as well (tricera-toss game for a dinosaur party). I did include some games as stations at the parties as well. One of our guests loved the stations so much she asked for some for her birthday party! If you would like more details about how we did these things at Buddy’s parties, please read here about Buddy’s second birthday and third birthday parties.

Chalk and bubbles (if it is nice enough to be outside).

Here are the ones we did at Buddy’s parties:

There are lots of different stations that can work for any theme. The best advice I have for anyone planning a birthday party for a toddler or preschooler is to have most of the activities open ended stations. We had guests from ages 2-6, so we needed games and activities that worked for a variety of ages. Buddy loves games, so I knew I wanted to included some fun games as part of our party. A couple of weeks ago I blogged about Buddy’s third birthday party, but I didn’t have the time to include all of the games we played.
