Third Birthday Family Portrait in a Balloon Frame

A smiling dad, mom, and their freckled son pose together inside a big balloon-shaped frame. The boy stands in front holding a small layered birthday cake topped with a lit candle shaped like the number 3. Dad stands behind him on the left with tousled hair and a wide grin, and mom stands on the right with short bangs, long lashes, and earrings. Her hand rests on the boy's shoulder. A balloon tie is drawn at the bottom of the oval, and more balloon shapes peek out behind the parents. The lines are bold and the spaces are fairly large, so it works well for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Try coloring the number 3 candle in the child's favorite color, then talk about how old the birthday child is and count up to three together. This free printable also makes a nice keepsake for a party table.
