Toddler birthday ideas
Even small children love a good party, and having a toddler birthday party in Houston is easy because the weather is almost always warm, allowing for many outdoor activities. Toddler activities should be easy and they should be done quickly so kids don't lose interest in the event. When decorating for the party use a theme, preferably from a favorite cartoon, or Disney character, and use bright primary colors. Toddlers love bright reds, yellows, and blues, but make sure balloons are kept out of reach so they don't become a choking hazard. Does this Spark an idea?
Bubbles and Snow Cones
Bubble machines are great for toddler parties, and you can rent one from a local Houston party supply store like Fun Time Rentals. With a bubble machine and individual bubble makers toddlers will have a great time chasing after, popping and making bubbles. You can even rent a snow cone machine, and while kids enjoy blowing bubbles offer them different flavored snow cones.

Pinata
Houston has a Latin influence, and having a piñata can be both a great decoration and activity. Even small children love piñatas because they are so colorful. You can find these in any of your local Mexican grocery stores, or even make one with your toddler a few days before the party. Most piñatas are produced using the paper maché method and do not have clay pottery inside, but check just to be on the safe side. During the activity you will need help lining up the children and making sure they are a safe distance from the swinging stick. Don't use the traditional piñata stick, instead find a lighter stick that can be carried by small children. Little ones can be carried by parents and given help swinging the stick. Little ones may not be able to break the pinata, but play or sing the pinata song, and allow them to swing at it. Because this is a toddler party you should refrain from filling the the piñata with candy, instead, after each child has hit the pinata, reward him with a goody bag. Afterward you can just let the pinata hang as a colorful party decoration.

Treasure Hunt
Pre-packed party food or special party gifts can be placed in brightly decorated boxes with something fun inside. If you use toys make sure they are age appropriate. Hide them where they can be found easily. Add clues or use cardboard footprints and place them so toddlers can easily follow them to the goodies. The signs and clues can be made in vibrant primary colors.
