Eco-Friendly Child Birthday Party Invitation: Have Some Fun and Save the Environment!

Making child birthday party invitation can be a family activity where siblings of the celebrant can participate on the fun and the work. There are a lot of materials and designs that kids can explore to make the invitations. Making eco-friendly designs and using recyclable materials might be the best way to spark their interest on the project.

An eco-friendly child birthday party invitation need not be expensive or complicated. To encourage your kids' creative talents and be environment-friendly at the same time, here are some ideas.

They can use dried leaves or grasses that they can paste on paper to make a design. A figure of a friendly farmer with leaves for clothes and hay for hair is one option. Beans, corn and tiny pebbles can also be used to make the face. Don't forget the huge smile!

We all know how fond children are with colors. They can use chemical-less watercolor to bring brightness to their drawings. In conjunction with the environmentally-friendly theme, they can use the shells of the eggs that they ate at breakfast. Just pound the shells into little bits and glue it to the figures or designs in the invitations and use watercolor to give it more life.

Ice cream or ice pop sticks are also good materials for an art project. They can just attach a smiley face at the top of each with the party information written on it and use a ribbon to give it more style. Use colored papers to make the faces. They can make different characters, like girls and boys and even their favorite pets.

How about pop-up invitations? Sounds a bit more complicated than the usual drawings and cut-outs, but parents can help their kids out. Use old boxes of cereals at the house, paint them with watercolors or wrap them in colorful papers and decide what your design would be. A pop-up message of "you're invited!" might be a good idea.

Making an environmentally-friendly child birthday party invitation with your kids will give them a chance to get involved in the preparation and will help teach them that old and used materials do not need to end up on the thrash all the time.
