Yes, Diwali is coming soon, and you may want your kids to make an invitation to your celebration, send cards to close family and friends, or make cards as an activity at the party. In any of these cases, here is an idea for Diwali cards:
Cut squares of colorful construction paper into very small pieces; then store each color in a separate section of an egg carton. Next, fold a 9×12 sheet of black construction paper in half. On the front of the card, use a pencil to sketch a simple Diwali picture; then “color” the sketch by gluing the construction-paper pieces, mosaic-style, on the card. Glue sticks work best for this step. Position the pieces so that small amounts of black can be seen between them, resulting in a stained glass look. Finally, glue a white piece of paper inside the card; use a fine-tipped marker to write a Diwali message such as, “Peace and Prosperity to You and Yours!”

When your child’s birthday lands on or close to Halloween, it is almost inevitable to have a Halloween themed party, or even an “Autumn” themed party. if you have only a few little ones attending, your child will not be overwhelmed. Most often, one year olds are dressed in a little soft pumpkin outfit as their costume…so, I don’t think that will be too much to take in.
One year old parties are really about the parents and the family there, your child will have a wonderful time playing with his little friends in free play activities, eating some cake, and taking it all in. Decorate with orange and black streamers, balloons, and table ware, put on some spooky music. Boo, Cackle, Trick Or Treat
