Kids Birthdays Party

Kids Birthdays Party

Is about a week long enough notice to give people for a kids birthday party?


I am trying to have my daughters party about 8 days from now. Or, I can do it in 15 days. Is 8 days enough time to give so that at least most people can make it usually?

Personally I would go for the 15 days, 8 is ok but if they already had plans that weekend their child is going to beg to go to the party instead. I myself prefer 2 weeks notice, sometimes it is in between paydays 15 days is better for that as well.

Great for the imaginative child

by Mary D. Krenke from Los Angeles, CA United States on 2010-09-02
I purchased the M&D Birthday Party B'day Cake more than a year ago for my older granddaughter's 3rd birthday. She plays with it nearly every day. I'm now considering buying it for my younger granddaughter's 3rd birthday. This is great for the child who wants to have an imaginary birthday party on any day of the year.


Enduring toy that fosters imaginative play

by E. B. Glass from Decatur, GA on 2010-08-13
My daughter is on the cusp of her fourth birthday. She received this set when she turned two. I have been surprised at how much she has enjoyed this and how much use she got out of it. It went largely ignored the first year or so she had it, then one day she got it out and has played with it nearly every day sense. My daughter loves to decorate the cake; serve pieces to me, my husband, and her friends; she even seems perfectly enamored with putting it all back together for storage! I have seen a lot of imaginative play from her with this toy. Of course she puts on little birthday parties with it, but she has also come up with some really innovative uses for the various pieces. I would say that based on my daughter's experience, 3-4 is the perfect age for this set. I have given it as a gift and will continue to give it in the future. It's just that fun and adorable!


Much loved toy

by Tracy Sawyer from Yakima, WA on 2010-07-10
The Melissa and Doug birthday cake is played with every single day at my house. I have two girls, ages 2 and 4 and they love love love this toy. They enjoy constructing the cake together, putting it in the pretend oven; singing happy birthday to each other and then serving up the cake. I wish more toys were built like this one -- a toy that promotes imagination, creativity and cooperation. We also have the pizza and ice cream cones and all three are huge hits.


My Daughter's Favorite Toy

by Sarah from on 2010-07-06
This is my daughter's favorite toy. She is 3 & her 4 year old sister and 1 year old brother all love to play with this together. We love it!


No Thanks...

by jillybug from on 2010-07-02
One of my children was given this as a birthday gift, and while the kids like it okay and do play with it some, I have a few issues with it. First, as others have mentioned, there is no lid to the box. Annoying! Secondly, the paint does come off the pieces! Of course, being "food", kiddos are going to put pieces in their mouths to pretend-eat it. (Even though I always tell them not to!) It is very obvious which pieces have been in kids' mouths, due to the paint chipping and wearing off. Even if it's lead-free, it's not a great thing to have happen! Third, there are just too many little pieces for this mom's preference and I end up finding them strewn all through the house. And finally, it's just odd to me that the two of the cake toppings are jelly beans and gumdrops. Overall, I do not like this toy and would not recommend it to others.

Very Creative and EASY to follow instructions!! Loved it!

by K. Davis from Tucson, AZ on 2008-06-03
This book should be called "This is the Best Children's Party Book Ever!" It has great ideas, but unlike most party books it tells you how to accomplish everything and make it a learning experience for your child and his or her friends. I loved it and would reccomend this book to anyone.


A really well organized, useful book

by KNSudha from Saratoga, CA USA on 2003-10-31
This book is organized by age, and then by theme -- as an early childhood educator, her observations on what a one, two, three, four or five year old will like and put up with are absolutely right on! Wish I'd had this book to plan my childs first three birthday parties. She has great age appropriate activities, as well as organizing checklists.

WAY too small!

by rebecca from on 2010-07-19
I ordered these ducks for my daughter's first birthday. They are absolutely adorable and definitely fit in with our rubber ducky - but girly! - theme. They have one MAJOR drawback, though... they are WAY too small to have around small children. As a one-year-old obsessed with rubber ducks, my daughter, of course, immediately put one of these in her mouth. For a while, that was fine, but eventually, the whole thing found its way in there and it became very clear that it was a complete choking hazard.So, although these are cute, they aren't very safe for a small child - which is what they're intended for.


Cute LITTLE ducks

by ctwomtwo from Pasadena, CA United States on 2009-12-15
These are adorable ducks and my daughter will choose this duck rather than the dozen other yellow ones she has every time. However, they are very little: only 1 1/2 inches tall.

LOVE IT!

by Pam in VA from on 2010-09-08
This is BY FAR my 2 1/2 yr. olds favorite DVD. It is very wholesome, without being overly corny. The songs are cute and very catchy. The "storybook" characters are fun to watch. Highly recommended!!!!


It arrives broken !

by E. Haldi from on 2010-04-06
Pitty this CD arrive "completely" broken (look at the box !) and it takes time and it costs to send it back to the supplier, when it will be easier to send me another one... But who cares ? Some suppliers are more conciliatory and does not ask for a review until the correct product has been deliveried. Sorry for that.


I watched this on VHS as a kid!

by 4 Bugs Mom from Central USA on 2010-03-18
I was looking for this to share with my children to teach them nursery rhymes. It is old - it's from 1987. But I remember loving the catchy songs and the wonderful story line that tied everything together. I'm so happy I found this to share with my kids.... and better yet, on DVD!


Well, if THEY like it...

by CBuck from New Jersey on 2010-01-23
I guess it really doesn't matter if I like it... It's pretty cheesey... but the kids like it. Alot. All three of our Wee Sing (Birthday, Train and King Cole) are enjoyed by 1-5 year olds in my home. Especially the Train one. Songs are catchy and memorable. It's harmless and wholesome. It's really about them anyway, isn't it?


GET IT!

by thedoubters from on 2009-08-10
ALl kids love it and it's a classic---a must have in your dvd collection. Very wholesome!
