Planning a 1st Birthday Party for Your Child?
Your child’s first birthday is a special milestone—a celebration of their first year filled with love, laughter, and discovery. At one year old, your little one is curious about the world around them, fascinated by bright colors, gentle sounds, and simple, interactive play. This is a time for creating memories that will be cherished by family and friends.
At Kiddly-Winks, we know how to make your baby’s first birthday magical and memorable. Our entertainment is carefully designed to be age-appropriate, focusing on gentle, sensory-rich activities that engage and delight even the littlest guests.

Creative 1st Birthday Party Themes, Games, & Entertainment for 1-Year-Olds
Ready to celebrate your 1-year-old’s birthday? Our magical kids’ entertainment services are designed to ensure a fun and engaging time with friends and family.
Here’s a sneak peek at what we offer:
First birthday parties are big celebrations with guests of all ages. If your baby is up for it, we can definitely paint a little star or rainbow on their cheek. The other kids can become their favourite superheroes, characters, or princesses. Face painting adds a fun, interactive touch to your party! Plus, it makes for great photos!
Balloon twisting adds fun and excitement to any party, bringing in loads of colour and energy. Kids love using their creativity to pick from our variety of balloon designs, like puppies, dinosaurs, unicorns, and more. We’re sure kids will absolutely love these creations at a 1st birthday party.
Our fun and visually captivating magic show is meant to grab the attention of everyone, from the birthday baby to older siblings and guests. The little ones might not get all the magic, but they’ll love the bright colours and the happy reactions around them.
For a first birthday, our games focus on creating a fun atmosphere that everyone can enjoy. We bring lively, gentle musical and dancing activities that parents can join in with their babies, such as simple sing-alongs and soft dancing to favourite tunes. Our goal is to ensure that the day is filled with smiles, laughter, and special moments for both the baby and the guests.
Small, gentle bubbles are a hit with 1-year-olds! Watching them float and pop brings endless joy and wonder to little faces.
Party Planning Tips for 1-Year-Olds Birthday Parties
Here are some party planning tips to help plan your 1-year-olds special day!
1st birthdays are a special time, so keep the duration flexible! We recommend around 1.5 to 2 hours. It’s enough for fun without being too much for the little one.
The best times for a 1st birthday party are late morning (10:00 AM to 12:00 PM) or early afternoon (2:00 PM to 4:00 PM), fitting in nicely with the baby’s nap routine for a fun celebration. Adapt as needed to match the baby’s nap schedule for an even better time.
When picking a spot for a 1-year-old’s birthday party, think about places that are safe, comfy, and easy to move around in.
At Home: Throwing the party at home means a familiar space for your baby, which can be more comforting. You can manage and decorate it how you like, plus there’s no time limit like some venues have.
Local Park: If the weather‘s nice, a park is a great spot. There’s lots of room for guests, and older kids can hit the playground. Just have a backup plan in case the weather turns bad.
Community Hall: Renting a small community hall gives you plenty of space and usually comes with basics like tables, chairs, and sometimes even a kitchen.
Indoor Play Center: Some play centers have special areas for babies and toddlers, with soft play equipment that’s perfect for the little ones. Plus, they often take care of the cleanup!
Party favours can have a mix of fun stuff! Think wrapped lollies, stickers, toys, or activities. Make sure everyone leaves happy! Need help? We’ve got party bags filled with top treats kids will love.
For a 1-year-old’s birthday party, consider offering baby-friendly foods like:
- Mini sandwiches with soft fillings
- Fruit platters with bite-sized pieces
- Mini muffins
- Cheese cubes
- Veggie sticks with hummus
- Soft crackers
- Baby pasta
- Yogurt cups
- Mini pancakes
- Small, low-sugar cake for a fun cake smash
These options are healthy, easy to eat, and perfect for little hands.
- Animal Safari
- Under the Sea
- Rainbow Party
- Fairy Tale
- Favourite Characters (e.g., Peppa Pig, Winnie the Pooh)
- Barnyard Bash
- Circus Party
- Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
- Alice in Wonderland
- Outer Space Adventure
These themes are fun, easy to customise, and perfect for creating a memorable celebration!

We've had kaough the magician twice now - he's not only a great performer, he engages with the children and captivates them.
He has a GREAT sense of humour too. I've found parents have loved the show just as much as the kids!
Balloon twisting and face painting was exceptional too.
Highly recomend!
Thank you for making our celebration so memorable and magical! 🎉
She welcomed the adults who wanted something special on their face too.
Was so great having her add an extra element to the party both with face painting and balloons, we’d definitely do it again!

As a company they are very professional, excellent customer service and value for money!.
We will definitely be recommending to friends and family.
Thank you Kiddly-Winks you guys are amazing!
Unfortunately, we didn't have as many kids as anticipated but the show was still amazing. Our entertainer had amazing face painting skills and was able to adapt to the mainly adult audience and everyone loved it! Would definitely hire again 🙂
I am grateful for making our son’s day. Special shoutout to our wonderful magician Kaough, he is truly a magician bringing smiles, joy and laughter in the room. My words cannot describe the amount of fun kids had in the room, it was simply magical beyond explanation.
So engaging with the children
Went over and above to entertain them
Was enjoyed by both children & adults
The way she was with the kids, her personality and just her happiness!
Would definitely book to have her as entertainment at any future parties we have
We can’t thank you enough for the joy, laughter, and excitement you brought to Jason's 1st birthday! Watching the children light up with happiness was truly special, and it was all because of your warmth and energy. You were an absolute pleasure to have, and it was clear you genuinely cared about making it a memorable day for everyone.
Thank you for making Jason’s 1st birthday brighter and creating wonderful memories for all of us!

After initially booking a jumping castle and them cancelling last minute due to the weather, I was stressed trying to find something else for the kids and just so happen I googled kiddy winks and spoke with Georgia, who was so accomodating and reassuring for me, we booked Melissa right away and she came the next day promptly on time and even stayed back because the kids loved her so much! Thank you ladies for help a stressed out mama! Couldn't have done it without you two!
Josh is very professional, talented, funny, friendly and engaging. He arrived early to set up the show and he is the best magician with the real magic!! The kids listened to Josh and followed Josh around!!! They queued for his ballons and sit nicely for the magic show. Josh assisted me with directing kids to the lunch table and entertaining them from the start to the end of the party !!! we couldn't have done it without him!!! Thank you Josh !!!
The admin team throughout the booking process were also lovely and helpful and the commutation in the lead up to the party was excellent. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for kids entertainment and we will definitely be using them again in future.
Thank you Zoom the magician. Loved you and your services. Thank you
Michelle, Veronica (Entertainer), Georgia all went above and beyond to make our event an enjoyable, fun filled experience.
Thank you for all the people at Kiddly-Winks. Highly recommended and would engage them at our next event!!!
We booked Zoom for the magic show, face painting and balloon twisting. Every service was equally impressive.
Would definitely recommend her to any children’s party!
Thanks for an amazing day 💛💜❤️💙
Thank you so much for making our son's birthday so special, we will absolutely be booking you again for future events. 5⭐️ 🤩
The way she engaged 13 special needs children for 90 minutes was heartwarming to see
Brisa was super friendly, fun, professional and I could not recommend her or Kiddly-Winks Childrens Entertainment highly enough
Great communication from everyone involved
Thank you for making Tommy’s party so special 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you Kaough & Natasha & kiddly winks team.
Gina the Magician was so polite, warm and amazing with the kids, we can't speak highly enough of her.
ALL of our guests commented on how fun and excellent she was with all the kids.
Gina made the birthday girl (and us) feel very special at the end of the day with extra interaction with just her, which we felt was above and beyond.
The booking system was stress free and Kiddly-Winks were very easy to deal with as a whole.
Worth every dollar and we'll be returning customers in the future.
Would definitely recommend these services to keep your kids entertained.
End to end experience was seamless.
The staff were kind, interactive and fun for both the parents and children while allowing the kids to enjoy the experiences on offer. The face painting was the best I have ever seen and the kids refused to take it off for days, even when bribery was on offer 😂!
The magician was thrilling and the children were in absolute awe watching her perform. We are so thankful to Kiddly Winks for ensuring it was a party we will NEVER forget!! Thank you guys!! We will be using you next time without a doubt!
Thank you KAOUGH & JAZZY & kiddly winks team.
So thank you Ali for your service we’re very happy and very satisfied with your work.
The kids absolutely love the different balloons she was putting together that they had to get two for themselves! The birthday girls absolutely love their dinosaur, ladybug and octopus.
additionally, her face painting skills was so quick and beautiful!
She’s a 10 out of 10! Thank you for entertaining the kids and getting to see your amazing skills!
Brisa ticked all the boxes for a party entertainer even the parents had a great time! Thanks Brisa!
The kids loved it!
It was a really fun session. The kids were very well engaged and entertained. The magic show and balloon twisting had made up the best part of the party.
Her advanced balloon twisting skills really deserve to be highlighted. The animals/figures/objects created using balloons were so vivid and creative.
The magic show was very nice too. There were lots of interactions between the magician and the little audience, therefore the kids were participating in the magic rather than just watching it.
The responsiveness and friendliness were amazing. This was organized last minute, and I couldn't fault the admin team at all.
The face paint and balloon twisting was awesome. The birthday girl was given special birthday magic for her day and had loads of opportunities to join in the magic show. Which she was delighted in.
Thanks again team.
Highly recommend 👌🏼
We were so impressed and would have her back in a heartbeat!
Thanks guys, wouldn't hesitate to book again!
The booking staff were also great. Prompt responses, very clear communication and professional. Very easy.
Thank you again Fezzie and team!
Thank you team and a special Thank you to Mary.
