Picture this you’ve taken the time to plan something for your kid, and right before you’re set to give it to them, they find everything. Now you’re sad because the surprise is ruined, and your child now knows what you were planning all along.
If you’re trying to plan something your child is going to love, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got some surefire ways you can ensure that the surprise you are planning goes off without a hitch.
Collaborate With Family & Friends
If you’re worried that you won’t be able to surprise your child, try to take some load off. It helps if you collaborate with close friends and family because this way, you can delegate tasks to them instead of having to do everything on your own.
Not to mention one of your family members or friends can be the person to keep your child busy as you’re running around taking care of other things to complete the surprise. It’s a complete team effort when it comes to planning a surprise that your child will never forget.
Give Your Child an Invitation
If you want to build anticipation for a surprise, invite your child. You might also consider creating a goodie bag for them that has boys’ pajamas, slippers, and other items they can wear or use during the surprise. This is when you can have a bit of extra fun and have a theme for the surprise you’re planning for your child. Another reason to provide your child with an invitation is that children love having attention on them, and this is the perfect way to do so.
It also shows them that even if they have other siblings, right now is the time you’re making a concentrated effort to spend one-on-one time with them.
Start With Small Surprises
Not every surprise you provide to your children has to be over the top. If you’re not used to planning surprises, the best thing you can do is to start with smaller surprises. Not only to determine if your child enjoys surprises but also to better understand what it takes to plan a surprise.
If this is your first time planning a surprise, you don’t want to overwhelm yourself with the plans. Starting small is the perfect way to gain a feel for the surprising landscape; as time passes, you can plan bigger surprises.
We understand that surprising children is a big deal, but it’s worth it.
