Little Baby Bum Birthday Party Ideas
How I Turned My Living Room into a Magical Nursery Rhyme World (and You Can Too!). There’s something so special about planning your child’s birthday party. It’s not just a celebration of them growing up; it’s a celebration of all those sleepless nights, first steps, and endless plays of nursery rhymes on repeat. When my little one turned three, there was no question about the theme—it had to be Little Baby Bum.

If your toddler is anything like mine, Little Baby Bum is practically a member of the family. From “Wheels on the Bus” to “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,” these songs have become the soundtrack of our lives. So, naturally, I wanted to bring those magical tunes to life in the form of a birthday party. And guess what? You can do it too, without breaking the bank or losing your mind. Let me share my story (and a few helpful tricks) to help you create the perfect Little Baby Bum party for your little one.
The Inspiration Behind the Theme
It all started with a moment every mom knows too well. My toddler was sitting on the couch, staring at the TV, completely mesmerized by Little Baby Bum. I swear, if Mia and Jacus had walked into our living room, my kid wouldn’t have blinked twice. That’s when I thought, “Why not make her birthday feel just like this? Magical, colorful, and full of nursery rhyme fun!”

I’ll admit, I was a little overwhelmed at first. How could I possibly recreate the magic of Little Baby Bum in my living room? But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it didn’t have to be complicated. Kids don’t need extravagant parties with overpriced decor and gourmet food. They just need a little creativity, a lot of love, and a touch of nursery rhyme magic.
The Story Behind My Adorable Little Baby Bum Invitation Templates
I’ll be honest, the invitations were one of my favorite parts of planning the party. I wanted something that would make the moms smile and the kids excited to come. After browsing online and realizing how expensive custom invitations were, I decided to make my own.
That’s how I stumbled into creating free Little Baby Bum invitation templates. I designed a few options, each featuring the adorable characters we all know and love—like Mia and Jacus. One of them had a sunflower field background with butterflies, while another had Twinkle the Star floating against a colorful jungle setting. The best part? I could personalize them with the party details and print them out on cardstock.
When I handed them out, the reactions were priceless. My neighbor, who is also a mom, said, “Where did you get these? They’re adorable!” I almost didn’t want to tell her they were free, but hey, we moms have to help each other out, right? If you want to use the templates, I’m happy to share them. They’ll save you time, money, and a little bit of sanity.

Speaking of birthday parties, we avoid to see anything basic, especially when it comes to children’s birthdays. By unusual, I mean something that isn’t typical Floral theme, but rather something like what’s in this page or something like these, Magical Cocomelon and Rainbow Cloud Cocomelon baby shower/birthday invitation templates. If you want to see other related theme and you want the freedom to personalize it on Adobe Photoshop, Canva or any Image/Photo editing apps, then you will love these:
Creating a Little Baby Bum World in My Home
“From Netflix Binge Zone to Nursery Rhyme Party Magic”
When it comes to party planning, I’m all about keeping things simple and budget-friendly. My living room became the stage for the party, and with a little DIY magic, it turned out even better than I’d imagined. I started by clearing out the coffee table and arranging the furniture to create an open play space for the kids. Then came the fun part—decorating! I wanted the room to feel like we’d stepped straight into the Little Baby Bum world. With some fairy lights, colorful backdrop, and DIY character cutouts, the transformation was magical.

The best part? Most of it was stuff I already had lying around the house. I even made a backdrop using a blue sheet and star stickers to mimic the nighttime nursery rhyme vibe. By the time I was done, the room looked like something out of a Pinterest board. But here’s the real truth: it didn’t cost me a fortune. With a little creativity and a lot of duct tape, you can make your space look like a million bucks without actually spending it.
How I Kept the Little Guests Happy and Entertained
Keeping a group of toddlers entertained is no small feat, let me tell you. But with a Little Baby Bum theme, the possibilities were endless. I printed out coloring pages featuring their favorite characters, and let me tell you, it was a hit. There’s something about handing a toddler a crayon that makes them feel like Picasso.

And then there were the games. We played “Wheels on the Bus Freeze Dance,” where the kids had to stop dancing every time the music paused. It was equal parts adorable and hilarious—especially when one little guest “froze” mid-squat and couldn’t stop giggling. I also set up a simple photo booth with props like star wands and bus cutouts. The parents loved snapping pictures of their kids, and I loved having memories to look back on. If you’re planning your own Little Baby Bum party, I can’t recommend a photo booth enough. It’s easy, fun, and gives you something to remember the day by.
How About the Cake?
Let’s talk about the cake, because no birthday party is complete without one. I wanted something that looked like it came straight out of the Little Baby Bum world, but custom cakes can be so expensive. So, I decided to go the semi-DIY route. I ordered a simple round cake from our local bakery, frosted in blue to match the theme.

Then, I added Little Baby Bum toppers that I found online. The result? A cake that looked custom-made but didn’t come with the custom price tag. When my toddler saw it, her eyes lit up like Twinkle the Star. And the snacks? Oh, they were just as fun. I made star-shaped cookies, rainbow fruit skewers, and mini sandwiches that I called “bus wheels.” It was a hit with the kids and easy to pull together.
Conclusion
Creating a Little Baby Bum-themed birthday party is more than just a celebration; it’s about crafting a magical world where your little one’s favorite nursery rhymes come to life. From DIY decorations and free customizable invitations to fun games and themed snacks, every detail can be infused with love and creativity without costing a fortune.
Planning this party was a heartwarming journey for me—a reminder of how the simplest touches can bring the brightest smiles.
