We have put-together many pretend play kits over the past few years, but this one is still a favorite! We are always adding new odds and ends – we have some very spoiled dolls in our house who have birthday parties constantly!

Even though my girls’ birthdays are months away, they are already busy planning what kind of parties they want to have! To help fill that party-planning need, we are putting together a birthday party pretend play kit. We’re including:
- party hats
- paper plates, napkins, cups (maybe left-over from other parties)
- play food cake, playdough cake, empty cake pan, etc.
- invitations (again, we have some misc. invites from other parties – you could laminate them for extra durability)
- gift bags and wrapped boxes
- decorations, such as balloons, banners, streamers, etc.
- tablecloth
Now, whenever the mood strikes, we can throw a fantastic birthday party for a favorite stuffed animal or doll. Sometimes we even make a real cake with candles — why not?
Happy playing!

What a fun idea! I think I’ll put together a pretend birthday play kit for my niece. She’ll LOVE it! Thanks!
OH WOW! I needed this idea. I have a four year old who has been planning for her birthday (in May) since about October. THANK YOU!
