2. An outdoor affair.
If your baby’s birthday is in the summer, consider hosting your get-together outside. Grab a gazebo if you’re concerned about the weather turning.

3. The race track.
Wow, this hallway certainly looks ready to party. An affordable way to transform your home into a driver’s heaven is to buy some cheap toy traffic cones and attach balloons to them. Add a race flag or two for good measure.

4. Every little helps.
The devil is definitely in the detail. Create a pit stop sign for your toilet door with some brightly coloured card and a marker pen.

6. Fuel time.
Recreate a racing track in the centre of your table. Just be sure that the toy cars are suitable for your guests’ age range. They may look cool, but we don’t want them to be a choking hazard to a curious toddler!

7. The hall of fame.
Welcome your guests in style by hanging some cheery balloons and chequered flags to the entrance.

8. In the driver’s seat.
Again, building a road in the middle of a dining table can be a super fun and interactive way to get the children all together when they eat.
