And even if we are all still at home and everything is closed, why give up on having your baby's first celebration at home? What can faraway guests do? Let's find out what to give to a one-year-old child, what cake to prepare, what to write on the greeting card.
How to organize a child's first birthday
The first party with parents (and siblings)
Few but good. We cannot leave the house but this does not mean that we have to give up organizing a party at home (or in a private garden, if you have the possibility) with your child. A special moment for your family in which all the attention is for the birthday boy. Here are some tips:
- let's organize it at a time when the child is not tired, for example in the late morning or late afternoon
- let's not make it last more than an hour / two. Children of this age get tired quickly
- we do not give up on decorations just because the child is small
- let's prepare a simple snack ... with cake!
- Music! What party would be without themed children's songs?
- What games to propose to a one-year-old child? Games with cartoons, a round trip, a tent-den!
- Let's get ready to turn the candle on and off at least ten times!
The first birthday cake
First birthday ... Yes, but which cake to choose? Remember to prepare the cake for 1 or 2 days till the birthday. If you want the little one to taste his cake too, here is a very simple recipe: fruit-based, without butter, milk, and sugar.
Ingredients (for a monitoring)
1 apple and 1 pear
1 jar of natural yogurt
2 tablespoons of 100% apple juice
1 egg
3 tablespoons of mild seed oil
2 tablespoons of agave syrup
lemon zest
pinch of cinnamon
150 g of flour 00
100 g of rice flour
1/2 sachet of yeast
any white icing to decorate
Method
Peel the apple and pear cut them into small pieces and cook with a pinch of cinnamon and two tablespoons of apple juice in a covered saucepan. Switch off when they begin to soften. Mix the egg with the seed oil, add the yogurt and agave syrup. Add the cooked fruit, then the flours in which you have diluted the yeast. Fill a 15 cm cake pan with the dough, sprinkle with the lemon zest and bake in the oven at 175 ° for 20-30 minutes.
Decorate with apple thinly sliced and passed in lemon, and with any icing based on icing sugar and water.

How to learn how to blow cake for the first birthday
What fun blowing out the candles! Learning how to do it ... it's not that simple though. The first temptation will in fact be to touch the flame with your finger .... ouch!
How do you learn to blow out a candle? You can train earlier by playing. That's how.
Take a small piece of toilet paper or a piece of colored wool and throw it in the air: the child will have to blow to keep it spinning. It is a very simple and risk-free game.
You can learn how to blow your nose ! Which will also be useful when the child has a cold ... grab a ping pong ball and a cardboard box. Put the ball on the edge of a table and on the other side put the box. The child will have to blow his nose against the ball directing it towards the door of the cardboard to score a goal.
Teach him to blow soap bubbles, As you know how many days between birthdays so try to train the baby before a few days. First, repeat the gesture several times.
And if he can't ... don't worry! Slowly he will learn too and if he is not on his first, he will be on his second birthday!
