My daughter is turning 5 years old in four months. My husband and I have always thrown a birthday party for her. I'd like it to be different this time. What do you suggest? Thank you.

ever since my daughter turned 5 we have been having birthdays with some activities that all kids can participate in. for instance, we planned an event at home where kids could come and try cooking safely. we looked up easy kid-friendly recipes from the internet, using healthy ingredients that kids would like to eat too. they got to make their own snacks and eat it, instead of being served the usual snacks. it also helped them get interested in the idea of preparing snacks for school. some our friends actually mentioned that their kids found it so enjoyable that they want to learn more cooking :) we also did a small home baking session in the end with all the kids
