Simple and Magical Birthday Celebrations

This week’s theme over on Instagram is creating simple and magical birthday traditions!

I also shared a beautiful Waldorf-inspired Birthday Verse to say the night before the child’s birthday:

When I am tucked into bed tonight
And I turn off my nightlight
I’ll be ____ years old.

And in the morning when I rise
There will be a sweet birthday surprise
______ kisses when I wake
______ candles on my cake!

Below are some simple open-ended birthday gift ideas. If you’re looking for more ideas and product recommendations head to my Open-Ended Toys Amazon List to take the stress out of planning!

I also shared one of our family favourite birthday cake recipes made with simple, real-food ingredients. Head to Instagram to grab the recipe! 

I hope these ideas give you the freedom and calm you deserve when planning those special celebrations.

Happy Birthday to those celebrating!
