How many kids birthday parties did you take your kids to in last few months? It’s possible that you lost count. Nevertheless, celebrating birthdays is a very big part of growing up. Beginning from party decoration idea, your new birthday outfit, best birthday party places in Melbourne/pizza place/party-decorators /gymnasium/play-zone/tree house, etc. OH and all the presents! What could be more thrilling?

Teaching our children that giving gifts is just as great as receiving is sometimes a tough lesson that falls on little deaf ears. But once they grasp the concept, the lesson may last a lifetime. So instead of filling your child’s already overstuffed toybox, consider making the next birthday party more meaningful by adding in Charitable Birthday Parties ideas. Here are some steps and party ideas to help you:

Birthday Gifting ideas

1. Talk about it. Have some conversations with your kids about the blessings in their lives, the needs of others in our community and what can be done to help them. Get them thinking about simple ways they can help.
2. What does your child care about? Maybe its animals, the elderly, homelessness or hunger. Help your child select a charity that is meaningful to them.
3. Research. Once you and your child select the charity of choice, give them a call or check their website to determine needs. Don’t make assumptions. Find out specifically what would be of help to them. Many non-profits have suggestions and wish lists on Melbourne homeless centre.
4. Invite. Here’s some sample wording for inclusion on the invitation to explain:
1. Let’s celebrate JoAnn’s love for animals! In lieu of gifts, please bring a bag of your favourite pet food for donation.
2. Edward would like us to use this special occasion to help the homeless. Please bring new or gently used sheets, towels and bedding for Ozanam House
3. Veronica wants to share her birthday with the kids at Green Town Orphan! Please bring a new children’s book for donation to its childcare center.
5. Close the Loop. After the party, take your child to deliver the donation. It will truly make the gifts they’ve shared real.
