It’s safe to say that a circus has tons of fun things for kiddos – between the animals, cotton candy and games, a circus is a kid’s dream! Using adorable apparel, fun snacks and an easy to make circus cake, we’ve created the perfect Circus Themed First Birthday Party! Saddle up and we’ll show you how it’s done!
An invitation sets the tone for the whole event, and lucky for us Betty Crocker has a Birthday Party Kit that includes an invitation that will get the party started!
The Betty Crocker birthday kit is a one-stop-shop for your birthday party planning! From cake mix, frosting and sprinkles to a cookbook and fun printables, this kit has everything you need to throw a fabulous birthday bash!

Decorating for a circus party is a total breeze. Combine red and white stripes, colorful balloons and circus animals for a simple setup that the kids will love!
Cotton candy in popcorn bags and circus animals makes an easy centerpiece.
Red and white streamers taped on the backs of chairs are perfect for the circus theme.
Even the animals can join in on the fun!
When you’re planning your Circus themed first birthday party, you’ll want delicious, easy to make yums that are as good for the littles as they are fun to eat.
Happy Family Brands has come out with a new Organic Milk and we used it to make a yummy smoothie for the kids to enjoy. It’s a great way for the kids to enjoy milk and fruit!
Toddler Milk Strawberry Smoothie
- 1 serving Grow & Shine Organic Toddler Milk from Happy Family Brands
- 1 banana
- 1 cup organic strawberries
- ½ avocado
- Raw honey, to taste (children under one year should not consume honey)
Easy, Peasy Directions: Add all ingredients including the Happy Family Brands Shine Toddler Milk to a blender and puree until smooth. For a twist on the smoothie idea, try adding the smoothie mix to fun ice pop molds, freeze a Viola`, another tasty, wholesome treat!
