We’re happy to see that most of the country is reopening and life is getting (somewhat) back to normal! If your little one has a birthday coming up, you may be considering having a get-together like we used to in the good ol’ days. With just a few modifications, you can party like it’s 2019! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Safety first<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The latest information from the CDC tells us that if you can’t properly practice social-distance, wearing a mask is the best way to protect yourself and others from COVID-19. Since it may be tough to keep little ones six feet apart at all times, it may be a good idea to pass out cute masks at the party! We like these adorable (and fairly affordable) choices: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also set up hand sanitizers in a couple of spots to encourage kiddos to keep their hands germ-free before eating, after playing, and after using the bathroom. While we’d like to think that kids always wash their hands, it never hurts to have a back-up plan! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Help keep the little ones socially-distant when waiting in line for an activity or snacks with brightly colored X’s or circles on the floor. If activities are outside, try using some neon spray paint to mark the grass. (Don’t worry, after a mow or two, it’ll be gone.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving refreshments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every party needs some tasty treats! Reduce the risk of lots of little hands in the food by taking charge of the snack stations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
