Children's Day wishes from parents

Here are sweet 16 ways to surprise your children on 'their' day:

1. Hide a message in your children's handkerchief or towel. When they open it, they'll be in for a pleasant surprise.

2. Order a cake for your child with your personalized message written on it (you can even bake one if you can). Nothing like a wish that's literally icing on the cake!

3. Write your wish on a paper plate and cover their breakfast with the plate. When they uncover their breakfast, they will read the message and you can see their faces light up.

4. Write your wishes on a piece of paper and slip it into your child's pencil box. When your children reach out for their pencil or eraser, your wish will pop out.

5. Send your special message to your child's class teacher and request him/her to deliver the message to your child when the class begins. Wouldn't that be a special moment for your little one?

6. If your child is a teen and is on a social media platform, you can send a message to their account. You can even get it especially designed and send it as e-greetings.

7. Get your child's favourite gift delivered to them with your message written on the gift card.

8. How about putting up a poster with your wish on it on the closed door of your child's bedroom which they would see when they open the door to come out?

9. If your children love to listen to songs on FM radio, you can call their favorite radio station to play out your message for them, along with their favorite songs.

10. Nothing like saying it with flowers. Get a bouquet delivered to your child with your wish written on the card.

11. How about a rangoli with your special wish for your dear little one?

12. You can even go for the good old way of writing your message on a post-it and putting it up on the door of the fridge or the bathroom cabinet.

13. Another surprise would be to write out your wish using fabric paint on a curtain and tie it up using a sash. You can ask your child to untie the sash and open the curtain. Voila! Your wish will unfold!

14. Gifting a mug with your message printed on it can be another way of conveying your wish to your children on their special day.

15. For older children, you can even write a letter to them conveying your wishes and post it to them (of course, you'll need to depend on good old 'snail mail' to deliver it to them on their special day!). Or you can leave it on their favorite couch. Make sure their names are written boldly on the cover.

16."I love you" notes hidden in various places around the house can set them off on a treasure hunt. And, wouldn't that be the best message for your little one?

Children's Day wishes from parents are bound to bring immense joy and a smile to the love of our lives - right from tiny tots to teens. So, go ahead and make this Children's Day truly special for your little ones.
