At least in the northern hemisphere, March marks the month when the clocks move forward, buds begin to appear on the trees, and the days are longer. At the same time, it is a transitional month; on any given day you could have sun and warmth, or snow and cold. Regardless of the temperature, March is often full of windy days. If your kid was born in March, perhaps you would like to have a party focused on our friend the wind!
For decorations, use any colors that you like. Blues, pearly whites, and light greens are good wind and March colors to use. You can purchase balloons, streamers, and tableware in these colors. Place a bouquet of pinwheels in the center of the table.
For activities:
Have the kids make their own kites. If it is windy outdoors, have the kids fly their kites once they are made.
Play Pin the Tail on the Kite.
Play Hot Lamb, Hot Lion. Pass around a stuffed lion and/or lamb to music. When the music stops, the kids holding the animals are out!
Have the kids move like wind!
