A rainbow birthday party is fun for any age but perfect for an adorable 1st birthday party. And great for boys and girls!

It’s easy to find fun foods that fit the theme, bright and attractive decorations, and even crafts for the kids. Here I’ve compiled some of my favorite ideas to make your sweet little one’s birthday a huge success.

Following are more ideas to make your rainbow party colorful and perfect. I’ve covered decorations, food (duh), crafts, favors, supplies and presents. Read on to the bottom to enter to win a fun toy that would make any toddler’s day.
