Make birthday memories that will last a lifetime!

There’s nothing quite as special as creating your very own birthday party. In this spectacular DIY birthday planner for children aged three to ten, kids can choose their favorite party theme and assist in making the crafts and recipes associated with each. They’ll learn how to bake dinosaur cakes, create robot piñatas, design superhero outfits, decorate their party setting, and so much more. Whether you’re hosting a Pirate Cove Party, a Monster Mash Bash, or a Woodland Fairy Fest, every birthday theme will inspire creativity.

The designed parties include a craft activity, a decor project with templates, recipes for a meal, two snacks, and the ultimate birthday cake. Step-by-step instructions, DIY tips and tricks, and a list of materials for each birthday theme make this activity-recipe book the perfect gift that families will return to year after year!

Melissa Iwai is the author of several multicultural and food-themed books, including Soup Day, Pizza Day, Dumplings for Lili, and the Gigi and Ojiji early reader series. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband, author Denis Markell.
