Birthday Celebrations at Home!

HOW TO MAKE A BIRTHDAY EXTRA SPECIAL DURING A QUARANTINE!

 

Yes, a quarantine may not be ideal. Nobody wants to be cooped up at home, especially when you had birthday party plans. At Scene75, we relate and understand. Birthdays are important and should not go unnoticed. We want to help you make this birthday a special event even when you are social distancing in your homes.

So, we’ve come up with a list of some fun birthday activities to enjoy from home, including homemade slime, birthday fudge, a birthday treasure hunt, and more! Whether you are enjoying these activities, or celebrating at home how you know best, take a photo of your birthday party and we will share your special day to our feed with a shoutout! You can submit your photos by emailing them to info@scene75.com with a short description!

BIRTHDAY FUDGE

We know there is a shortage of certain ingredients at the grocery right now. So, if you don’t have all the supplies for a cake, birthday fudge is a great substitute, with 3 ingredients you can probably still find in the store!
  • 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  1. Add semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter (or margarine, if that’s all you have on hand) in large microwaveable bowl. Warm in microwave on medium until melted, about 3-5 minute. Be sure to stir about every minute.
  2. Pour fudge mixture into well-greased 8×8-inch glass baking dish. Refrigerate until set.
  3. Add sprinkles and candles and you’ve got yourself a Quarantine Fudge “Cake”! Enjoy!

 

 

HOMEMADE SLIME

It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3! Slime is the trend that’s never going away, and the only thing better than making it a mom-approved mess, is that it’s so simple to make with household items you most likely already have! All you need is:
  1. Elmer’s Glue
  2. Baking soda
  3. Contact solution
  4. Food coloring

BIRTHDAY PRESENT TREASURE HUNT

Another fun and easy way to make a birthday more exciting, while doing so at home!
  1. Create or print out clues.
  2. Hide your clues throughout the house so that one clue leads to another.
  3. Place a birthday present at the final destination! You’ve found the treasure!!

BUILD A FORT

Gather all pillows and blankets, and maybe even a few chairs! Build your fort and enjoy your favorite movie, snack on your birthday fudge, play a board game, or have a fun fort battle! Keep it up for as long as you want, for endless entertainment! Need some inspiration? Here’s one way to make a super cozy fort: Blanket Fort Tutorial

FACETIME YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY

During this time it’s important to keep in touch with your family and friends! So what better way to celebrate a birthday, but with loved ones over the phone! Everyone can sing happy birthday, even from far away! It’s sure to make everyone’s day a bit brighter seeing a familiar smile!

WE HOPE YOU HAVE FUN!

We hope this list of activities helps you turn a negative into a really fun positive! We all have to get a little creative to get through this crazy time and make it a time of joy and social connection. Just tell your birthday child to look at it this way… They get two birthdays this year! One quarantine party and then a celebration once they can be around all of
their friends again!
Be sure to send your birthday memories to info@scene.com so that we can post them to our Facebook and show all of the other birthday kids that they can still have a birthday party too! We are together even as we are apart!
