A baby's birthday is always a big event not only for him, but also for his parents. The desire to make this day unforgettable is quite understandable. After all, a child awaits his holiday with such trepidation and believes in a fairy tale. So why not create it? And you should start with an interesting and bright decor for the children's room. Agree, such a surprise will cause a lot of pleasant emotions. We offer several ideas on how to decorate a room for a child’s birthday.
Colored paper, scissors and glue to help
They learn to cut out all sorts of stars and flowers from paper in kindergarten. Children decorate their group with this decor and give it to their parents. It would seem that the idea is not new, but its implementation can be approached with an innovative approach. Paper decor is considered an indispensable attribute of the holiday among many peoples. And elegant decoration is a great reason to adopt some traditions. Of course, now a lot of ready-made paper decorations are sold in stores. There are garlands, pendants, lanterns with inscriptions and wishes. You can just buy them and not worry about how to decorate the room for your child’s birthday. But you want to show your creativity and do something exclusive, addressed only to your baby. This is where the skills learned in labor classes at school come in handy.
Three-dimensional figures can be used as independent decor or as part of a three-dimensional composition. They are easy to make. You should cut out a shape of the desired size from cardboard. Then roll up balls from colored paper and use glue to tightly fill the mold with them. A figurine filled in this way looks interesting both at an upward and downward angle.
Garlands of flags, rings and letters are easier to make, but they look no less impressive. Especially if you write wishes or riddles on the flags leading to the main surprise - a gift.
Older children will enjoy the bright photo zone. You will need a large sheet of cardboard as a stand and multi-colored paper. Corrugated flowers will help decorate it. Most likely, everyone remembers how to make an accordion or a fan out of paper. Using this technique, you need to make flowers of different sizes and attach them tightly to the cardboard.
Soft pompoms
Children love everything soft and fluffy, they like to feel and touch objects, so if you are planning a children's party, decorate the entire room with bright pompoms. Your one-year-old baby and his little guests will definitely appreciate your efforts.
- To make these fluffy crafts, you will need a needle, a set of thick threads, scissors, glue and a sheet of cardboard. The base for the product should look like a donut - be round, with a large hole inside. The width of the rim is equal to the radius of the future ball, so decide on its size in advance.
- Cut out two identical bagels from cardboard and place them on top of each other. Pass the thread through the hole and wrap the warp row by row until the central hole disappears completely.
- Now, having inserted the scissors between the bagels, the threads are cut in a circle along the outside. The cardboard bases must be separated from each other and a thread must be pulled through the hole formed, wrapping it several times around the pompom.
- After this, you need to remove the base by cutting it with scissors and carefully pulling it out with tweezers. If the pompom comes out too shaggy, you can carefully trim it with scissors, giving it the correct shape.
Scatter pompoms randomly throughout the room: they will look bright in photographs and create an interesting background. It is not necessary to use pompoms of the same colors; children will like multi-colored fluffy balls much more.
Air balloons
Parents often think about decorating a room with balloons for a child’s birthday when they see beautiful compositions made by professionals. The material itself for such decoration is inexpensive, but not everyone can afford the services of a master. However, you should not immediately abandon such a bright and beautiful idea. There are balloon compositions that are not difficult to make yourself.
A garland of ordinary inflatable balloons looks very nice. And if you alternate them with colored flags or serpentine stripes, the result will be simply wonderful.
Inflorescences of several balls connected to each other will help decorate the walls. Double-sided adhesive strips are suitable for fastening.
You can very beautifully decorate a room for a child’s birthday with helium balloons. It turns out to be quite a funny picture when they float under the ceiling, gathering into bizarre patterns.
Bouquets of one or more balloons will decorate the table. Additional organza decor wouldn’t hurt either. Balloons in a skirt make a spectacular impression. To prevent the “miracle bouquet” from flying away from the vase, you need to tie a weighting agent to the thread.
What to consider when choosing jewelry: basic rules
A loving mother knows her child's tastes. She should help choose jewelry for the girl, based on her preferences. You should not buy something against the child’s wishes.
You can assemble a universal jewelry box for a girl. All accessories must be suitable for daily use and for special occasions.
If we talk about earrings, then you should purchase at least two options - regular studs and long ones with stones or rhinestones.
The safety of the child is paramount. Select jewelry exclusively from high-quality and harmless material.
If you look at photos of jewelry for girls, you can see the following trend: for little girls, polymer products (simple and bright) are more often purchased, and for teenagers, more complex compositions are purchased.
To create a unique decoration, show your imagination and make it yourself with your daughter. You can choose the perfect set to suit your child's taste.

And make the core from a denser material so that you can attach a photograph there later. Flowers can be attached to a sheet of cardboard using a double-sided adhesive strip. Thus, we do not just decorate the room for the child’s birthday (1 year), but create a living picture of pleasant memories.
A tree made of wire and paper also works well as a stand for family photos. Foliage can be made from colored fabric or paper. If the family is large, then the tree needs to be made more spreading. Free branches should be left, they will be useful for the future.

Which balls are best to choose to decorate a room?
Festive table
The child will be very pleased if the table is decorated in a special way on the occasion of his birthday.
- For younger children, serving with plastic utensils is safer. In addition, it has bright colors or is decorated with cartoon drawings.
- Cutlery wrapped in a napkin folded into a bow looks very elegant. And if you make a ring for them from colored paper in the shape of a funny animal, you will get not only an interesting decor, but also an additional toy.
- Desserts decorated with fruit will seem more attractive to children. Cut out fruits in the shape of flowers, stars or hearts. And vases with ikebana from a variety of candies will cause complete delight. Children will be delighted with bouquets of sweets and drinks with straws and umbrellas.
Chandelier decorations
If a young birthday boy is celebrating the day of his birth for the first time, then the same decorations will help here too.
At this age, children love everything colorful, they like to follow moving objects and look at bright pictures. Based on the crib mobile, you can create unusual decorations for the chandelier that will definitely interest the birthday boy and his little friends.
A mobile is a toy that is hung above a newborn's crib. There are toys on a special rotating stand mounted on the canopy or headboard. Little children love such things, and if such a mobile is also equipped with lighting and music, the kids literally cannot be pulled away from it.
To make this decor you will need colored paper and ordinary transparent fishing line. You should cut out paired details from paper, for example, silhouettes of animals, cartoon characters, or simply various geometric shapes.
Each pair must be glued around the fishing line so that it is in the middle of the figure. Such garlands are fixed to chandeliers or cornices using ordinary transparent tape.
