    ‘Teddy bear’s picnic’ First birthday party theme

    This was such a fun party to plan, and the teddy bear picnic theme is perfect for a first birthday. With most children this age still crawling, toys on picnic blankets and cuddly teddy bears are perfect! This makes for a great morning or afternoon tea party, and the colours can be easily adapted to suit your taste.
