Take a merrymaking museum tour

Capture your child’s imagination with a special ‘behind-the-scenes’ experience at their favorite museum.   

For example, The Intrepid, The American Museum of Natural History, The British Museum, and Stepping Stones are offering special virtual tours and interactive online experiences.  

Play boisterous bingo games, charades and more! 

All the excitement, suspense and fun of an in-person game can be repeated with online platforms like Zoom and Google Hangouts

If you want to play Bingo, for example, ask guests to print out their cards before the party.  

Get free Bingo cards here.

For an extra special touch,  make your own cards. Instead of numbers, call out fun facts about the guest of honor. 

Instead of B-7, say “Loves Americone Dream ice-cream” :-)

Whatever game you choose, get ready to engage and have fun!  

Get inspired with the invites

Normally, the budget or venue will dictate the number of guests you can accommodate.

However, a virtual birthday party means the sky’s the limit!  

Invite the entire class. Reach out to family members who live out of state and abroad.  

You can even ask Katy Perry or your child’s favorite celebrity to attend like this girl did.

Now that’s turning lemons into lemonade!  

Get inspired with these virtual event invitations on Paperless Post, and send out those invites!

Host a sensational sing-a-long

What’s one thing Baby Shark, Frozen 2, and The Greatest Showman (to name a few) all have in common? 

Kids love singing the songs!

Whether you provide the accompaniment, play the soundtrack or do it a capella, an online sing-a-long is super fun! 

Lead an awesome art project

Then make art together, and take turns sharing it.
