All children are looking forward to their favorite holiday - birthday. Fun, gifts, friends are its integral attributes. The task of Parents is to organize and capture what is happening as a memory. But how can you make your photos colorful and vibrant? Recently, photo zones have become fashionable, which are set up not far from the venue of the celebration. Here you can have a lot of fun taking pictures with friends, relatives and parents.
There are a lot of design ideas, but such a children’s photo zone should be created based on the theme of the holiday or the personal wishes of the birthday boy. Pleasant memories, supported by photographs, will accompany you for many years. You can make a similar children's photo zone on your own using various little things.
Ideas for children's photo zones
Undoubtedly, the first thing that comes to mind is the fabulous design. If a child is of primary school age and has a favorite fairy tale or cartoon, then the stand is decorated using the appropriate paraphernalia.
You can print posters of your favorite characters in large format and then the children will be able to take pictures with various characters.
If there are no special preferences, then the stand is decorated with simple decor.
The following elements can be used to decorate children's photo zones:
- Balloons. Made in various designs, colors and shapes, balloons are an integral attribute of any holiday. Try to find a child who doesn't need them. It is because of this that balloons are used as decoration in the first place. With them you can create garlands, arches, flower beds and various figures.
- Fairy lights. A beautiful and bright decoration for a birthday can be garlands made of paper in the form of hearts, circles, balls, figurines of cartoon characters, such as Alice from Wonderland, pirates, cars, Paw Patrol, trolls, Mickey Mouse or minions. You can go beyond paper and use fabrics, ribbons and flowers.
- Decorating with paper. The most common paper for creativity is corrugated or crepe paper. With the help of large leaves you can create huge flowers, playing with the fairy tale about Thumbelina or little gnomes. Using different shades, make many small flowers, which you then attach to the design fabric. An interesting option would be to decorate with pom-poms, which are made from corrugated paper or tulle.
- Ribbons. Any birthday can be decorated with a hanging ribbon design. Don't try to make a stylish monotonous decoration. Try to use as many different shades as possible so that not only does your mood change when you look at this photo zone, but also the photos are brighter and more interesting. If the holiday takes place outside the house, but on the street, then the breeze will be beneficial and create movement in the photo.
- Drawings with chalk, but not on asphalt, but on a special board. Having installed such a board in the photo zone, ask the children to draw their wishes for the birthday boy. Be sure that children will diligently complete the task for a long time. Once everyone is done, start the photo shoot.
These are not all the ways to decorate a photography area for a child’s birthday. You can use various objects, toys, dolls and their houses, construction sets and much more. Some children are embarrassed to be photographed and holding a toy in their hands allows them to relax and stop worrying. In order to prepare a children's photo zone, ask the children themselves for help. They will take part in inventing the style and creating the decorations with great pleasure.
Games and competitions
After refreshments and photography, it's time to get some exercise and have some fun. Here are several options for outdoor competitions for guests:
Bowl relay
Props: two plastic bowls. We divide the participants into two equal teams. The first participant crawls on all fours to the bowl, takes it and returns back, passing it to the next participant. The next participant takes the bowl to the finish line and returns. So the participants alternate with each other until everyone has covered the distance. The fastest team wins.
The most accurate
You will need a column or pipe and rings of disposable plates. The one who throws the most rings onto the pipe wins.
Firemen
The most difficult competition to prepare, as you will need a stand in the shape of a burning house, as well as several small pillows. The goal of the participants is to throw as many pillows as possible into the windows of the house, that is, to put out the fire.
"Don't tell me, I know"
You have to ask questions on a given topic, and the person who answers receives a badge of honor. Those who receive the medal become a new patrol. Need to guess whose motto this is?
- “Boldly get down to business!” — Racer Chase
- “I’m eager to start!” — Marshal
- “The sky is calling you to fly!” — Sky
- “Duty calls - Forward, strong!” — Sturdy
- “I give the green light!” — Rocky
- “Ready, attention, splash!” — Zuma
Now that the team has been formed, we hit the road.
"Dog Trail"
Cut out a dog footprint from plain A4 size white paper. You will need as many of them as there are players.
Place your blanks on the floor in a circle, one less than the number of players. On command to the music, the children begin to run in a circle. As soon as the music stops, you need to step on some footprint. Whoever doesn't get it is eliminated. After each lap, remove one piece at a time until there is only one track and two players left. The last round is decisive. Make it more difficult and force players to run backwards. The dropouts will have a lot of fun with this. I would like to say that such elimination games are classics of the genre. If you use your imagination a little, you can come up with your own configuration for such a game.
"Puppy Cafe"
A very simple speed competition. Two bowls are placed in front of the participants, juice is poured into one, and cookies, preferably not large ones, are placed in the other. Whoever empties their bowls faster after the “Start” wins. All this is done, of course, without hands, like real puppies from patrol.
After the puppies have run around and completed all the tasks, give them Paw Patrol medals or diplomas, as well as memorable souvenirs in beautiful boxes that can be personalized. Suitable souvenirs include calendars, magnets with pictures of puppies, dog figurines, pencils, notebooks, and possibly sweets allowed by parents.
A birthday in the style of the cartoon “Paw Patrol” can be made for a child of 3 years old, or for older children. It will be equally interesting for children of different ages. Organizing a holiday yourself is not at all difficult. Happy birthday to you!
Theme parties
Organizing a themed birthday party is considered a bright and interesting idea, because in this case you can not only take beautiful pictures in an appropriately decorated photo zone, but also dress the children in costumes and act out whole stories. Let's consider the most popular options for thematic design of children's photo zones today.

Photo zone for a boy
You don't have to use only blue shades to highlight the theme of a boy's birthday. There are enough colors in the color palette so that you don’t get hung up on one thing, but try to give the party a fun, joyful mood and positivity. Any things or toys of your boy are suitable for decoration, for example, balls, cars, construction sets, Lego figures, etc. Perhaps it will be a space theme, where stars made of foil by children’s hands and the full moon will shine in the dark sky of the stand, towards which a spaceship will fly. All this can be done with your own hands. By cutting out a model of a flying saucer from paper, you can photograph children next to it. By the way, this topic will be no less interesting for girls.
Photo zone for girls
As a rule, pink is chosen as the basis, but this is not necessary, because princesses dress in dresses of various shades. Ask the girl which characters she would like to see in a children's photo zone for her birthday. Perhaps it will be Winx fairies or princesses, or maybe even Monster High. After printing a cartoon character on a large sheet of paper, cut out her face, and during a photo shoot, invite the girls to transform into a cartoon character by sticking their head through the hole.
Pirate children's photo zone
Not only boys, but also girls dream of being pirates. Brave filibusters who conquer the seas go in search of treasures. You can use a suitcase as a chest, and replace the treasure with a mountain of candy. Waves made of tulle or fabric, a boat made of cardboard, and sails made of old sheets - every child will dream of taking a seat at the helm. In a nautical theme, you can use shells, binoculars, striped vests and pirate hats made from cardboard. If the theme is marine, then prepare fishing nets in advance or weave them with your own hands from twine.
How to make your own templates for the candy bar PAW Patrol Azure Gray?
To make your own paper decor you need to print out templates for the candy bar. This can be done in a printing house or advertising agency, copy center, photo studio or on a home printer. For printing, a laser printer is desirable, but a 6-color inkjet printer is also suitable; select the correct paper type and quality (the best photo) in the settings. The paper you need is thick, you can use glossy or matte. Glossy looks more elegant, but there may be glare in photographs. For stretchers, toppers and boxes, decor for tubes
You usually need paper in the region of 200-250 g/m3, but 160 g/m3 is possible if the printer does not print on high-density paper.
But be aware that the thicker the paper, the less the edges will curl. For all labels or stickers for a candy bar
(juices, chocolate, water), you can use paper with a density of 85-120 g/m3; for stickers, you can use self-adhesive paper with a density of 85-120 g/m3.
After printing, you need to cut out all the templates. If you have a plotter, you can cut it on it, although additional preparation will be required - you will need to remove the background. For a festive stretch
You may need a hole punch to make holes for the ribbon, ribbon about 5m long is usually sufficient.
You will also need a hole punch to decorate drinking straws
.
For holiday caps
you need a hat elastic. You can glue the elements with double-sided tape (it’s better to buy it in hardware stores) and with a glue stick, the German Erich Krause, PVA and the like are especially praised. Attention: liquid glue cannot be used, because... bubbles will appear.
Children's photo zone "Paw Patrol"

Children's photo zone "Alice in Wonderland"
The story about the girl Alice is not known to everyone, but those who know about Alice’s adventures in Wonderland will probably want to see at least some of the fairy tale’s heroes at home. And creating a wonderful country at home will not be difficult. The main attributes can be figurines of pink flamingos, chess, cards, watches and of course a white rabbit. Huge paper flowers will also match the theme. Illustrations with the main characters on the banner will complement the overall picture.
Children's photo zone Cars
It's hard to imagine, but the main characters from the cartoon Cars first appeared on screen in 2006 and have been one of the popular topics ever since. The leading color is red. As accessories, you can take anything that matches the theme of the cars - tires, keys, flashing lights, flags, cups, etc. In the photography area, you can place a traffic light made of balls and a model of Makvin, behind the wheel of which guests can photograph themselves.
Children's photo zone in Gatsby style
A Gatsby-themed party is more suitable for an adult birthday, but the color scheme can be used at a children's party as well. The main colors are gold, black and white. Studio lighting will add chic and luxury to your photographs. The main accessory is ostrich feathers, which can be shaped like small palm trees, placed in vases, or simply used during a photo shoot.
Table decoration in the style of PAW Patrol
Children's parties are not complete without tea with all kinds of sweets, so pay special attention to the table or candy bar.
The color scheme plays an important role in the design of this area. Choose blue, red and white colors - these are the colors that are present on the screensaver for the animated series. You can use them like this: cover the table with a white tablecloth and place a piece of red cloth through the center. Make a backdrop out of blue fabric, and hang red material along its edges (like curtains).
The festive table itself also requires appropriate decoration. For example, what should you serve your treats in? Just not in plates! Buy multi-colored plastic bowls for animals (according to the colors of each puppy: pink, green, orange, etc.), cut out the bones from self-adhesive film and stick them on the bowls.
Fill the “plates” with various goodies such as gelatin bears, popcorn, sweet pillows, corn pops and similar “crumbly” treats.
If you do your own baking, be sure to bake cookies in the shape of a dog’s footprints or bones.
You can also decorate chairs with high backs. Draw doghouses on a piece of cardboard, cut them out and tie them to the backs. Hang homemade paper garlands and badges throughout the room. And now the “base” is ready to welcome guests!
As for the holiday cake, there is no limit to the imagination: in the shape of a bone, a paw, with a waffle picture, mastic puppies and simply in themed colors, this confectionery miracle will undoubtedly become the highlight of the holiday!
Features of the seasons
Birthday people themselves do not choose their birthday, but they can adjust to a certain time of year. In summer, it is best to spend holidays outdoors, and early autumn is conducive to this. By the way, it will be said that autumn photographs turn out to be the most beautiful. When golden autumn foliage adorns the trees, it can be used as a background without any additions. Winter time brings joy with snow and snow-white landscapes. However, you can’t walk for long in the cold, so you’ll have to set up a children’s photo zone in the winter in an apartment or studio. Whenever you have to celebrate a birthday, it depends only on you and your imagination how it will go and how long it will be remembered by the guests.
