15 Book-Themed Birthdays for Kids
Sure, Ninja Turtles may be cool, but they’re not exactly the theme you want plastered all over the pictures of your son’s 4th birthday party. Let’s think happy thoughts of parties featuring your child’s favorite literary characters. Books provide themes that can be cutesy, or a little more epic for the older ones, but super fun either way. Take a look at these 15 book-themed parties that you’ll want to recreate this year and the next.
1. The Very Hungry Caterpillar: We know that your little one is growing just as fast as this little hungry caterpillar. Pull out this adorable theme before they become butterflies. (via Kara’s Party Ideas)
2. Curious George: Who can resist the smartest, most curious monkey around? Just be sure you get a big yellow hat for Dad to wear for pictures. (via PopSugar)
3. Winnie the Pooh: Choosing this sunny classic for your party theme will delight not only your little Winnie-the-Pooh lover, but also all your family and friends. (via Crosswhite Photography)

8. Pinkalicious: If you use this theme for your daughter’s birthday party, everything must be pink. No exceptions. (via How Does She)
