Of course you have boxes that you don’t need. Younger children will have fun playing with their new friends while learning about size, weight and placement by fitting one animal box inside another. You will need recycled boxes (different sizes), brush, paint, marker, hot glue gun, glue and scissors. Disassemble the boxes. Cut off the bottom flaps so that the smaller boxes can fit inside. Turn the boxes inside out and reassemble, gluing the flaps to fix the piece. Draw your favorite animal ears onto cardboard, adding a 1/2-inch flap. Cut out the pieces, fold down the flaps and glue them to the top or a side of the animal head. Now draw your animal faces and paint them.

If your kid isn’t afraid of clowns, then arranging his or her birthday in circus theme might be your best choice. Looking for some inspiration? Take a look at the photos of the 2^nd birthday party of Juliette arranged by her mom, a photographer from Paris.

It turned out kind of vintage-inspired, just take a look at the gorgeous invites, the garland and other paper stationery. However, my favorite part is the cake, because it looks incredibly cute and funny, the clown is definitely not scary. How about you? Would you pick this theme for your kid’s party?

Two young boys live in this room and they like their room very much! At the beginning it was a room only for one boy, but when the mother found out that she will have the third child – girl, other boy began living with his brother. This woman with her husband decided to get little loft beds. These are shorter than traditional bunk beds, so she liked that if the boys fall, they won’t fall from very far and the top bunk won’t be directly in the way of the upper window. Also she didn’t add curtains because they prefer natural light. You can notice hiding spots under the bed and you can hide any toys down there.
