This is a great theme for both boys and girls and applies to kids of a wide range of ages. We think it’s particularly suitable for April and October birthdays since National Farm Animals Day falls on April 10 and National Farmers Day is on October 12.

There are so many things you can do to set up a farm themed birthday party, so we’ve made things a little less overwhelming with a collection of ideas related to decor, food, games and more!
