The song might talk about "sunny days", but you can't always count on the weather cooperating. Nor can you wait for the snow to disappear if the birthday you're celebrating is in January. But sometimes you have a choice about where to celebrate your Sesame Street birthday. Pros and cons to each:
Indoors
- Easy to keep everyone contained in a single area
- Decorations stay where you put them
- Temperature controlled (important in Texas!)
- Can be a tight space to have a lot of people at once
- Things with toddlers can get quite messy
- Kids can start getting into things that aren't part of the party
Outdoors
- More physical activity for the kids (especially at a park)
- Games and activities can be quite messy and take up a lot of room
- Mother nature can do most of the decorating
- Weather might not cooperate
- Bugs in the food
- Kids can wander away from the main area
Well, I just cleared that up for you, didn't I? Sorry. There's really no easy answer for the setting for your Sesame Street birthday bash. Unless you want to do it at Sesame Place. That's probably the ultimate setting. So my best advice? Figure out what will work best with your weather, decide how much clean up you're willing to deal with and determine if you can corral enough grown-ups to herd the cats. Either way, your child will have a great time and that's the point, right?
