Paw Patrol Birthday Party for 4th Birthday

My kid loves Paw Patrol. This is why he wanted to celebrate his birthday with his favourite pups from Paw Patrol cartoon. He turned into 4 in last October (in 2017) which I had to plan his birthday party with his favourite cartoon characters.As always,here is our story behind the Paw Patrol Birthday party celebration for the kid’s 4th birthday.

Paw Patrol Birthday Party for 4th Birthday

Note: This is a post which was in my drafts for about an year.Publishing in 2019 as I want to keep the blog with some of our life stories.. 🙂

We didn’t invite guests to our home. Instead of that, we celebrated his birthday with his preschool friends. At the time of planning our Paw Patrol birthday party for 4 year old kid, I had difficulty in finding some party supplies easily. This is why I had to be little creative to keep everything within our theme.

Though it is months after the birthday, I am sure this Paw patrol birthday party will give some ideas if you plan such a themed birthday party for your kids.If you love DIY themed birthdays parties,then these ideas will help you. 🙂

Paw Patrol Birthday Cake

I ordered the cake from a bakery shop in my neighbourhood. This birthday cake was supposed to share with preschool kids and teachers. So, I ordered a cake with soft butter icing which will keep its taste instead of decorating it with many colours. Same time, I ordered a set of Paw Patrol cake figurines to decorate the cake. (Non-edible Paw Patrol figurines/toys)

Cake shop owner has already decorated the birthday cake with some toys, so I used Paw patrol toys around the cake just to symbolize our theme. Anyway, kids loved the cake and its taste. Teachers loved too as it was less sweet.

Though we planned celebrating our Paw patrol birthday at preschool, I just planned family celebration on the day of kid’s birthday. He was so happy to see this small cake with his Paw Patrol characters. I just decorated a piece of cake to keep him entertained and excited before go to the preschool.

Paw Patrol Birthday Party Hats

I couldn’t find the exact Paw patrol themed party hats. So, I was creative in decorating the party hats with Paw patrol characters. I always use the same trick with themed stickers. This time also, I use Paw Patrol stickers to decorate the party hats. You can check similar tutorial here on how to DIY party hats.

Paw Patrol Goodie Bags

I was lucky to find these Paw Patrol themed goody bags/loot bags from a shopping mall. From the same place I could buy Paw Patrol themed toys and supplies for the goody bags. That was the fun part of planning the Paw Patrol birthday party. I also ordered some Paw Patrol stickers to add inside the goody bag which kids love to find in a birthday goody bag.

Paw Patrol Birthday celebration at the Preschool

Kid was little bit shy and excited at the preschool, so he kept his eyes closed during the celebration. Teacher said this can be due to his first birthday celebration in the new preschool. 🙂

His friends wished him with Happy Birthday song and kids were excited. When our kid was late to blow the candles, his friends helped him to blow! That was a celebration with fun, joy and excitement among little kids.

Kid was happy with Paw Patrol birthday party.

Entertainment is really important in any kids’ birthday party. Kids can easily get bored. On the other way, kids will easily remember the birthday party when they had loads of fun.

Here are few tips for you to organize a DIY birthday party which your kid would love to talk for long time.

Select a theme

You need to have a theme for your kid’s birthday party. If you search online, you’ll find tons of birthday party themes. But, don’t go for a birthday party theme which you like. Instead, be on alert of your kid’s interests. If your kid is above age 3, then sure they will suggest the party theme. If your kid is a toddler or infant, then decide a theme with his interests.

our Pororo themed Birthday Party table

For our first birthday party, we decided animal theme because my son loved animal songs and animal toys. For his second birthday, we decided train theme simply because of his interest on his train toys and some YouTube nursery rhymes which feature a train(Bob the Train). Both times, my son enjoyed the party, his cake and decorations.Our Pororo themed birthday party was a hit when the kid was three years old.

Create DIY decorations and Birthday party invitations

Once you decide the birthday party theme then decide on the decorations. DIY decorations are always beautiful and unique. You can create birthday banner, birthday invitations, door banner and other decorations according to your theme.
