Celebrating your child’s birthday doesn’t have to break the bank. With a little creativity and thoughtful planning, you can throw a memorable party that your child will love without overspending. Here are some budget-friendly kids’ birthday party ideas:
1. Backyard Campout
All you need are some tents, sleeping bags, and a starry night. Set up a mini campsite in your backyard, grill hot dogs, make s’mores, and tell stories around a fire pit or bonfire.
2. DIY Arts & Crafts Party
Buy some inexpensive craft supplies and let the kids get creative. This could be as simple as painting or beading, or you could provide materials for them to make their own party favors.
3. Movie Marathon
Transform your living room into a movie theater. Choose a couple of your child’s favorite films, make some popcorn, and let the kids enjoy the show.
4. Scavenger Hunt
Design a scavenger hunt around your home or backyard. The kids will love the adventure and it’s a great way to keep them entertained for hours.
5. Sports Day
If you have a large enough backyard, organize a mini-Olympics. This could include races, a soccer game, or a frisbee competition.
6. Cooking Party
Make mini chefs out of your little guests. Pizza or cupcakes are great options as the kids can customize their creations.
7. Garden Party
If you have a garden, use it. You can organize simple games like sack races or a treasure hunt and decorate with fairy lights and paper lanterns.
8. Balloon Party
Balloons are cheap and can be used in a multitude of ways. Create balloon games, or use them for decoration. You could even have a balloon popping finale.
9. DIY Photo Booth
Set up a DIY photo booth with props and costumes for the kids to take fun photos. The photos can also serve as a great party favor.

Conduct simple and safe science experiments that will entertain and educate the kids.
