Make an exploding cake for the birthday boy or gal to cut into.

Or frost a bunch of sponges to look like a cake. If you do either of these cake tricks, make sure you have an actual edible cake on hand somewhere, or else your guests will be mighty disappointed!

Individually wrap each item in your child’s lunch for the day. Who doesn’t love unwrapping surprises? Make sure they’re his or her favorite foods!

Honk for a happy birthday! This is a fun idea and even funnier if kiddo doesn’t notice before you hit the road.

Make a glitter bomb for the guest of honor. If you’re going to be doing the cleanup after the party, though, we recommend opening it outside!

Gifting cash to the birthday boy or girl? Put the money in balloons along with glitter or confetti. It makes a mess, but it’s worth it!

Make it difficult to get the cash by putting it in some sort of puzzle instead.

If the first place your kiddo heads is to the bathroom, start the festivities there. Who wouldn’t be surprised to find their picture on a toilet seat?
