5 unexpected birthday themes your kids will love

Growing up in my house always meant big birthday celebrations. Nothing extravagant or over-the-top like pony rides or petting zoos, but always lots of fun with friends and family, an overly-frosted homemade cake, and an occasional wacky birthday theme thrown into the mix. Most of the time the theme was by default, involving whichever character, event, or holiday graced the paper plates and cups on clearance that month. Many sale racks later, I have stumbled across some randomly fantastic birthday themes that are a break from your traditional Spider-Man or Cinderella. If you are tired of traditional themes, here are five fun and unique ideas for your kid's next birthday celebration.
