COVID-19 may have changed the way we celebrate, but it doesn’t mean milestones need to be any less special! Here are 10 ideas to get your party started, no matter where you are.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sign-up for the (completely FREE) Nickelodeon Birthday Club<\/a> to schedule a personalized birthday phone call from one of 10 characters. Plus, the club provides hundreds of free birthday activities and ideas.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n No birthday is complete without cake, right?! Prepare your virtual party guests with supplies to decorate their own cake or cupcakes, including printable toppers and wrappers like these<\/a>. Cupcakes sound like too much work? We also love this easy dirt cup recipe<\/a>, which is easy for all ages to follow.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We’re talking ALL OUT. As in, streamer bomb your kid’s bedroom while they’re sleeping. Here are some of our favorite printable banners and decor<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While not every game translates to Zoom, we recommend this SpongeBob trivia game<\/a>, charades<\/a>, Alphabet Bingo<\/a> (for our preschool crowd), or a good ol’ fashion dance off using our Pup Pup Boogie game<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Party hats make everything more festive! These printable hats<\/a> make it easy for everyone to show up dressed for the occasion. Bonus points if party guests jazz up their gear with silly glasses and costumes!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another great party activity that can be facilitated over Zoom is a craft tutorial. Ideally, hosts would send party guests the supplies they need in advance, but some of our reccos can be made using supplies often found at home. Browse our full list here<\/a>. Favorites include our signature slime recipe, these garden terrariums<\/a>, tie-dye<\/a>, or this flashlight constellation craft<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ask family and friends to send you, the parent, a digital letter or card. Print these and put them in a special birthday mailbox<\/a> or card box<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For preschoolers, create a Blue’s Clues & You! inspired scavenger hunt<\/a> to reveal a birthday surprise. For bigger kids, adapt this idea, or make it competitive and challenge virtual guests to compete remotely. Kids can run around the house looking for each item, and the first to complete the full list wins bragging rights!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Updating your background on Zoom is easy! Use our free Nickelodeon-themed backgrounds<\/a>, or assign a theme to virtual party-goers and share these easy instructions<\/a> for updating.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Just like at your kid’s favorite party zone, set up themed stations around your house. One station could include a cup stacking challenge<\/a>, another Pin the Badge on the Pup<\/a>, a craft<\/a> station, a spoon race<\/a>… the ideas are endless!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" COVID-19 may have changed the way we celebrate, but it doesn’t mean milestones need to be any less special!
