Video: Organization of a children's holiday

Of course, this is, first of all, mother's holiday. She gave birth, she fed, she changed diapers, rejoiced at the first word and the first step.

Thinking about how to celebrate a year old child, many mothers stop at the decision to arrange a holiday for adults. Many, realizing that the baby is still small, generally refuse any celebration. And yet, such a happy event must be celebrated, because after it there will be at least an album with photographs.

The main thing is to have fun

The scenario for celebrating the anniversary of the child needs to be special. All those invited are not strangers. And if everyone is awarded with a certificate or a diploma on behalf of the crumbs? It will be nice for the local doctor, and for godparents, and for your beloved grandmother.

Interesting to arrange fun competition"What does the baby look like?" Let everyone write their version on a piece of paper, and then mom will read: “Our Christina is three times like Grandma Varya, five times like Dad, twice like Mom and three times like Grandpa Vitya.” Or, for example, hold a competition "Scales". Of course, for this competition, the birthday boy must be in good mood. Each of the guests picks up the baby and guesses how much the baby weighs. The winner is the one who will be closest to the truth. In the same way, you can guess the growth of the baby. The winner is awarded a chocolate medal with the name of the crumbs.

Celebrating a year in a cafe

By the way, thinking about where to celebrate a year old child, you can decide that it is not necessary to celebrate the anniversary at home. Why not rent a room in a cafe? A cafe with a playground will be a convenient place for both children and adults.

Some institutions specialize in working with the smallest. birthday in children's center or in a family restaurant it can be fun, calm and even enchanting. I want the birthday boy to have the opportunity to crawl somewhere, so you need to take care of this moment in advance. While food is being prepared in a good family restaurant, children are entertained in the playroom by a nanny. The rented hall can be decorated with a “train”, on each trailer of which it will be told about each month of the birthday. In the menu of such cafes there are even dishes for babies up to 1 year old! All sorts of cereals, soups, mashed potatoes and gulls. You can, if you wish, order one animator, for example, a child's "beloved bear". Adults can come in costumes, arm themselves with rattles and surround the baby with attention.

In the pool and in nature

How about celebrating a holiday in the pool? If the child loves to swim, then why not? Can get together small company in club. Where there is a bar and a pool for the little ones. The kid swims with loved ones, adults can visit the bar with him for a short time. Such a holiday is not recommended to delay, one and a half hours maximum. But how nice it is to dress up a daughter with a Mermaid and give pleasure to her!

Many mothers draw so-called wall newspapers dedicated to the baby. It's good, and the fantasy can not be stopped! But it is not necessary to depict the family tree in a large format. It is not very convenient to keep such a newspaper, but how pleasant it is, how you want to leave it as a keepsake. In addition, a small wall newspaper can be taken with you anywhere, for example, in fresh air.

There are certain places for organizing holidays in nature. There is everything you need: tables and even barbecues. But you can find a secluded place. Somewhere on the edge of a forest or near a river. Trees are decorated with hearts, toys, photographs and garlands. On the fresh air the birthday boy has the opportunity to sleep, therefore, if the baby is not restless, then the celebration is celebrated for a long time. Competitions in the fresh air are even more interesting to arrange than at home. For example, the contest "Who will spit the pacifier next." Or "Who will be the first to drink juice from a baby bottle."

Arranging a holiday in an unusual place for a baby, you need to provide everything you need. It will be very difficult if the baby is frightened or begins to behave restlessly. It is very important that the birthday boy feels good, because this is his holiday. You need to think in advance about the possibility of a quick return home if it is urgently needed. It is good if you have your own vehicle.

Therefore, they try to invite guests to their apartment, because houses are calmer.

How to celebrate the anniversary of the baby at home

When deciding how to celebrate a year old child at home, you should think about how to decorate the house and. The room in which the celebration will take place is easiest to decorate with photographs of the baby. After all, they, no doubt, have accumulated a lot this year. Flowers, balloons, ribbons, plush toys - all this can also serve as a decoration.

When celebrating a birthday at home, it is imperative to warn guests about the time of arrival and the possible time of departure. Don't be shy. Among those invited may be people who have never had children. They may not understand if they begin to be escorted out of the house at the moment when they just cleared up.

Parents will be interested to know that for thousands of years there has been such a rite as Tongues. It is he who is associated with the anniversary of life. But initially this pagan rite was performed in relation to boys only. When they were seven years old.

tonsure

This ceremony symbolized the transition of the child from mother to father. The father was supposed to teach his son the family craft. It is believed that up to a year it is impossible to cut a child. Many women take this belief very seriously. It happens that the baby has already regrown hair tied with rubber bands. It is customary to cut hair for the first time at a year old. That is why the ancient rite of tonsure is now performed in a year, and for both girls and boys!

The dedication is very solemn. The father or godfather cuts the child's hair with an even cross, which symbolizes the Sun, Yarilo. Then the parents store this hair.

According to one of the many versions, the hair must be burned, let into the water or buried in the ground. The strand symbolizes the fate of the child, so they say: “Fire-brother (Earth-mother, Voditsa-sister), grant our baby happiness and a happy fate.” After this, the baby is seated on a sheepskin casing, and various things are laid out around it to find out what profession the baby will choose in the future.

For example, scissors symbolize a tailor. Sweets - a confectioner, money - a businessman. Whatever the kid picks up first, he will prefer such a specialty.

Of course, the rite is very entertaining for all adults who came to the holiday, and can become part of funny scenario. Since the custom is very ancient, you can decorate the house in folk style and dress the child in folk clothes.

For you, for dad and for mom

No need to force the table with those culinary delights that cannot be given to the crumbs to try. You can't refuse a birthday.

Of course, the most incredible and festive dish of the table can be a cake. It is decorated with one large designer candle. The cake is made with a “skirt”, and in the form of a typewriter, and in the form of favorite fairy-tale characters.

This masterpiece will definitely want to capture on video or photograph. It is important not to forget that these photos, like group photos, must be taken at the beginning of Godomania. While the baby is in a good mood and is not tired of the guests.

Therefore, if mom is used to serving sweets at the very end, then it is worth considering that festive table for a year old, the child needs to be served immediately with a cake. The cake is placed in the center of the table or next to the birthday person. The most important point when setting the table is the choice of tablecloth. After all, she will be the first to attract attention. A red, pink, blue or blue tablecloth will look nice. After all, it has long been known that it is pink and blue that become decisive in determining the sex of a baby by adults. It's already a tradition. A bright light green tablecloth will also look good.

Chairs can be decorated with ribbons, and put next to each plate a beautiful napkin with a children's theme. Dishes are decorated in a cheerful, fabulous, children's style. Animal faces and funny faces of clowns will create the most appropriate atmosphere and make adults remember their childhood. Improvised baby carriages are made from watermelon and pumpkin, in which fruits or salads are placed. You can choose the theme: fairy, pirate, captain, princess, butterfly. Based on the theme, they select a tablecloth, napkins, design elements, and also decorate all dishes. But if there is no desire or time, then the emphasis on the theme of the holiday becomes easier. Instead of traditional glasses and glasses, guests are offered jars of baby food.

Dishes for babies from a year old can be very tasty and festive. This is a sponge cake, and a banana muffin, and meatballs, and a pepper appetizer, and cottage cheese balls, and chicken cutlets. Is it worth regaling guests with a banal Olivier? Let them taste delicious and healthy baby food.

The baby is unlikely to remember the holiday. No matter how original the celebration may be, the parents arrange it for themselves for the time being. Therefore, the main thing that should be remembered is a good mood.

As a rule, the first such holiday is celebrated at home. Parents should decorate the room where the celebration will take place in advance. balloons, design a poster or wall newspaper, which demonstrates to everyone the achievements of the birthday boy from the day of the first breath to the day of the first anniversary. In the wall newspaper you can place funny photo child, corresponding to each month of his growing up, for example, in the form of chamomile petals or trailers of a toy train, as well as indicate some funny incidents from the life of the family that occurred during this year. It is more rational if the baby's mother delegates the right to be the host at the holiday to someone close: a grandmother or a friend. After all, she herself, most likely, will have to periodically leave the room where the celebration will take place, because of the hassle with the child.

Presenter:
Exactly one year ago, a miracle happened:
A new man was born.
And since then, the family has changed,
You will not find them happier forever.
Let's have some fun
On a wonderful birthday, children.
Any pranks today are good:
Throw the ball, even peel the candy!

The song performed by the Barbariki Group "Happy Birthday!"

Those gathered at the table begin to celebrate the holiday. During this action, the presenter unobtrusively highlights interesting information.

Presenter:
I am happy to share with you entertaining facts about the history of birthday celebrations. This tradition was introduced by the ancient Egyptians. Initially, only pharaohs, kings, their heirs, and only men had the right to celebrate this day. When a girl was born, this day was not even recorded in the documents. The first woman to earn such a privilege was Queen Cleopatra II (II century BC). The tradition of lighting candles on cakes originated in Greece. On the birthday of the goddess of the moon - Artemis, they brought to her temple as a sacrifice round, like the moon, honey cakes, in which several wax candles were placed. North American Indians loved to celebrate not only the birthday of a child, but also the days when he first sat down and walked. In the Northern Hemisphere, the most common birthday is on October 5th and the rarest is May 22nd.

The song "Birthday" performed by the Children's Choir "Giant" sounds in the background.

Presenter:
How our baby was born
I ate only milk.
But grow without vitamins
It soon became difficult.
He is happy with new delicacies,
The orchard helped us!

I invite everyone to the circle. Let's play fun game called "Fruit Dance"!

The game "Fruit round dance"
Game conditions: Each participant is dressed up with a certain fruit. You can prepare masks in advance, or suits made of cardboard. Several characters participate in the fruit round dance. These are banana, tangerine, lemon, kiwi, peach, apricot, pear, apple. The birthday boy is in the center of the circle, if he still can’t walk, then in his mother’s arms, and during the game he chooses one of the fruits. Each participant tries to please the baby. Once selected, the fruit is sent to an impromptu basket. To do this, you can arrange a place, for example, on the sofa. After the end of the competition, all the fruits, along with the birthday boy, are photographed as a keepsake. For this game, you can use the song that is on the Internet resources containing children's educational cartoons. It sounds like this: “There are very different fruits in the world! And, of course, adults and children love them!” In this work, each of the fruits listed above is sung very provocatively.

Presenter:
Guests, praise the young mother.
I spent a whole year raising the baby.
I listened to the advice of moms with experience:
How to bathe, how to entertain and what to feed.
Boiled porridge, steamed mashed potatoes,
She tried to please her child.
Dad is very brave, he tried to help.
I nursed this crumb, I had no rest.
He did everything together with the child: he crawled and bit,
Once, by mistake, he ate his puree.

Dear men, tell me, are any of you capable, like our young father of the family, of such feats? I invite you to participate in the competition.

Competition conditions: 2 men are invited to participate. It is necessary to involve those who do not yet have their own children, or the offspring are already adults. Each participant is given a sample of treats from several jars of baby food. It is better to use broccoli, cauliflower, meat purees with additional ingredients, such as buckwheat, since unsalted sterilized purees are more difficult for an inexperienced person to recognize. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes when defining products wins. During the competition, everyone should be amused by how men will frown, twist their mouths from such a kind of children's food.

Presenter:
This congratulation will remain in the memory of the family for many years. Dear friends, I would like each of you to give the birthday man today a congratulation as a keepsake. I invite those who wish to participate in the next competition called "Let's collect puzzles".

Competition "Let's collect puzzles
Competition conditions: 2 teams participate. A team of adults against a team of children. Puzzle blanks must be made in advance. For adults, these are parts of a big heart, for children, the picture is simpler, for example, a sun with rays or a bun. Participants must write a wish to the hero of the occasion on each detail and assemble the whole figure. Children who cannot write can simply draw a picture. The team that completes all the puzzles the fastest wins.

After this contest, it's time for tea and a traditional cake with candles..

Presenter:
Lovely cake! Candles on the cake
Burn with fiery fire.
This evening won't happen again
But we will not forget about him.
Years will pass, there will be a reason
Guests rush to this house.
And the child will grow up
With love, happiness and kindness.

Parents bring in a cake and blow out the candles together with the birthday boy. The song of the Crocodile Gena sounds. All participants of the celebration sing a song, eat treats and take pictures.

Someone might say: "not enough"
But really knows
How not enough - only mom!
How much to become that mother!

We do not recommend inviting many guests, because even the most active and sociable toddler will be afraid of the close attention of a large number of people. Of course, his closest relatives will want to congratulate him: grandparents, aunts, uncles and godparents.
When inviting young children, proceed from a simple scheme: the age of the baby plus one. So, for the birthday of a one-year-old child, you can call one or two peers with their parents.
The best time to receive guests is after dinner. A well-sleeping child will be happy to meet visitors, accept gifts, pose for photos and videos.
After the final approval of the list, prepare and send to guests invitation cards. Write a text on behalf of the hero of the day himself, and put the print of a child's hand as a signature. Hand out invitations in person or send them by mail, just be sure to do it in advance.
Stock up on holiday caps and small souvenirs. It can be mugs with the image of a birthday boy, beautiful magnets or key rings in bright packages. When leaving, each guest will take with him a piece of the festive atmosphere.

Apartment decoration

The baby must feel festive atmosphere in the morning. To make it clear that this day is full of miracles and surprises, you need to decorate the whole house in advance.

The best decoration is air balloons different shapes and sizes: in the form of animals, hearts, the sun. Choose durable balls to avoid unexpected "explosions" and frightened crying. Spread around the apartment Stuffed Toys, hang posters with congratulations.
Collect photos taken throughout the year and make a photo newspaper out of whatman paper. It may look like a train with 12 carriages, each with a photograph of a child. Hang in the children's calendar - next to the name of the month, a picture of the baby and his achievement (holds his head, sits, rolls over).
Hang whatman paper, stick a few the best photos, make paint prints of your own and children's palms. Do not forget to put markers, felt-tip pens and colored pencils nearby for visitors to write good words to the hero of the day.
Create a play corner for invited children. Lay out on the carpet different toys for children of all ages. Avoid toys with small parts. In the festive bustle, it is not so easy to keep track of little fidgets.

Festive table

You should not experiment with dishes, so as not to spoil the celebration for the child. No one knows how his body will react to unusual food. Prepare your usual food by beautifully laying it in a new dish.

Be sure to decorate the table in accordance with the children's theme. On the Internet you can find many great ideas: faces and figures of animals from vegetables and fruits, curly cutting and much more.
For kids, you can prepare a separate table: put cookies on a dish, cut apples and bananas into small pieces, put bags of juice.
It is better to make a festive cake at home to be sure of its harmlessness. It is easy to prepare it: bake a biscuit cake from natural ingredients. Cut it into two parts and connect the halves with cream from your favorite cottage cheese, adding a little powdered sugar there. Top with fruit jelly and berries. Do not forget to put a decorative candle in the center of the culinary masterpiece.

What to give a baby for 1 year old?

Do not put off shopping until the last moment, so as not to purchase an unnecessary item. Give only what is useful here and now. Relatives may well give clothes and other things for growth.

For a one-year-old girl, get a baby doll, a large doll, a toy stroller, a dollhouse, a set of toy dishes.
But a one-year-old boy will be delighted with a house-tent, a rocking horse, another typewriter, a robot, a teddy bear.
Children of both sexes can safely give wheelchair toys, a home puppet theater, educational toys - a designer, a pyramid.
There will never be superfluous clothes from natural materials and pot.

Celebrating a year - the script of the holiday

Be sure to include games and contests for guests in the solemn part of the celebration. Of course, they will be dedicated to the hero of the day. Also, do not forget about children's entertainment and fortune-telling for the future of the baby.

"Who will be the birthday boy?" Include this old custom in the script as well. Lay out various objects in front of the child and give him the opportunity to choose the most attractive. It is believed that by this he chooses his future profession and fate. So, a ball means a long life, a book is considered a symbol of scientific knowledge (becomes a scientist), a ball means serious success in sports, coins promise wealth.
"Karaoke Competition" If you and your loved ones have musical talents and, most importantly, love to sing, organize a competition - divide the guests into two teams and determine which of them knows more children's songs.
"The most ingenious." Puzzle the invitees - ask them to guess the current weight and height of the baby. The winner of the competition will be the one who most accurately guesses the children's parameters. Award a chocolate medal for first place.
"Baby bottle". Prepare two bottles of juice, soda, or mineral water. The rules of the competition are quite simple - you need to suck out the contents at speed.
"What's in the bag?" Connect to competitions and small guests. Place small soft toys in a bag and invite the children to feel and name who they are holding. By the way, adults will also like this fun.

In fact, there are a lot of such entertainments. We talked about only a few competitions, you can come up with your own tasks, start traditions, create solemn customs.

The celebration ends with the traditional removal of the cake. Help the birthday boy blow out the candle, he still won’t be able to do it on his own.

When thinking about how to celebrate a year old child, remember that he may not have enough strength for the whole evening. Therefore, do not be afraid to make adjustments to the script and act according to the mood of the baby.

After the visitors leave, take a walk in the fresh air so that he calms down and sleeps soundly all night.
