Toddlers love farm animals: the sounds, the books, the toy barn with the door that opens. A farm birthday party turns that love into a theme that is cheerful, easy to decorate and just as fun for the grown-ups. Hay bales, gingham and a cow print cake do most of the work.
Here are farm birthday party ideas for babies and toddlers, starting with the birthday shirt.

Farm party decorations
- Hay bales (or yellow blankets folded into rectangles) for seating and photo spots.
- Red gingham tablecloths and bandanas as napkins.
- A barn backdrop: a large sheet of red paper with a white "X" door makes an easy photo wall.
- Cow print balloons or plates.
- A welcome sign: "[Name]'s Farm" or "E-I-E-I-O, [Name] is Two!"
Farm party games
- Animal sounds guessing game: play a sound and let toddlers shout the animal.
- Egg and spoon race: use plastic eggs to keep it mess free.
- "Feed the animals" toss: toss bean bags into the mouths of cardboard animal faces.
- Tractor rides: push toys or a wagon pulled around the yard.
If you are visiting a petting zoo or real farm, remember hand washing after touching the animals and before eating.
Farm party food
- Corn on the cob or popcorn "feed."
- Pigs in a blanket.
- Veggie garden cups with dip at the bottom.
- A barn cake or cupcakes topped with toy animals.
