When it comes to a lockdown birthday for children whether you are a parent, a wicked uncle, a sick aunt or a great grand-parent you are going to want to ensure that the child has the most amazing present. Something a bit different but engaging, and even one that helps keep the child entertained and helps their development. Without being able to see the children yourself then it would be best to order your gifts<\/a> online<\/strong> – particularly from somewhere that would gift wrap the present and offer advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lockdown birthday is going to be more difficult, but possibly\nmore so for children who are possibly more used to a bit more attention and\nbeing able to share their special time with friends. As well as the present you\nmay want to think about ideas for making the day a bit more special including how\nto incorporate their friends and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Perfect Present for Children<\/strong><\/p><\/u><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Growing up I had a wicked uncle and remember he used to get\nme the most amazing gifts. My favourites I remember being a map of the world, a\npen and a pair of socks! How boring do they sound? But they weren\u2019t just any\nmap, pen and socks! The map came in this massive tube and I loved rolling it\nout – he used to pay me if I could answer his questions based on it! The pen\nwas a fountain pen and required special ink (this was amazing for me back in\nthe day) and the socks he told me were designer! It must be over thirty years since\nI received those gifts so you can see what a difference getting it right made\non me. As a sick auntie myself I gifted our niece slime – I knew it probably\nwas something she\u2019d love but not something her parents would have most likely\nopted for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also ordered a Birthday Hat so that when we went for our daily\nexercise people would know it was our son\u2019s birthday. He refused to wear it\nthough and said he would have preferred a badge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lockdown Birthday\nSeeing Family and Friends<\/strong><\/p><\/u><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If it is your child\u2019s birthday during lockdown the chances\nare they are going to miss seeing their family and friends. What we decided to\ndo for our son\u2019s birthday is have people all record messages for him to wish\nhim a Happy Birthday and played them all together when he woke up. Not only did\nhe love it but it means he has a keepsake of his lockdown birthday for years to\ncome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course there is also the option to video call or use a conferencing programme such a Zoom or Teams to connect and be able to see others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birthday Cake in\nLockdown<\/strong><\/p><\/u><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Buying a birthday cake in lockdown seems a bit like an impossible task. We also struggled to buy flour and so opted for a cake mix (although we were offered flour and did manage to get some after we had the cake mix). You can buy cake from places you might not even think about though – our local chip shop sells it for example! Alternatively what about buying some muffins or doughnuts instead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning a\nBirthday for a Child in Lockdown<\/strong><\/h2><\/u>\n\n\n\n

I think the best thing to do when it comes to planning a birthday for a child in lockdown is to discuss with them what they want (if they are old enough to). Our son most definitely wanted a special breakfast, to play computer games, eat pizza, bake a cake, and to stay up late! It may be that the child wants a movie day, dance, a theme, a picnic, afternoon tea, the list is endless dependent on your child\u2019s wishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
