A child who loves reading will go a long way. It’s a very good idea if you encourage this hobby, so why not create a children’s book theme for his or her birthday? Just imagine: all the favorite book characters children love, from Pinocchio to Harry Potter, in a unique and fun celebration!

You must prepare the different party aspects, so everyone will really feel the theme. The decorations, for example, must be already arranged. The only problem is, you don’t want to spend a lot of money. After all, it’s only for one afternoon.

Fun, but budget-friendly book party decorations aren’t very difficult to make, and all you need is a bit of creativity and some typical household items. Here are a few ideas to help you out.

• Everyone knows many fairy tale stories take place in a large and grand castle—so make a castle backdrop for the celebration. Get a large piece of construction paper, then, using some coloring and paint materials, draw a large castle. Stick it onto a bare wall on your party venue.
• Get posters of popular fairy book characters and stick them all around your walls.
• If your child has lots of books, mount some of them around the room. Place a plastic cover over them, so the children won’t keep touching them.
• You can also put all the books on one round table, and create a “mini library” centerpiece. When they’re resting from all the tiring activities, they can get a book, sit on the chair and read.
• Dragons and mythical creatures are always welcomes at any kiddie book party. Find or make your own dragon or winged horse pinata. Hang it in the middle of the room, as a ceiling décor. When it’s time for games, the kiddies can crack it open!

A wonderful book-oriented kiddie party will make your child enjoy his or her love for books better, and hopefully, these decorations will help brighten the unique celebration!
