Take your child’s next
birthday party to a whole new level with a themed birthday party. Kids love the
attention and details, and a theme that reflects something they love will make
them even more excited to invite their pals over.
When you choose a theme for
a children’s party, you can go all out and make the entire party and every
detail fit that theme or you can just use it for inspiration, using it for just
a few elements of the party. Either way, a theme can make the party more
memorable, special and fun for young kids.
The Classic Number Theme
Of course, one of the
easiest and most traditional children’s party themes is their age. If your
child is turning six, use that number on the invitations, birthday cake,
balloons and party decor. This is an extremely simple theme to use and is one
that older kids get excited about as they get to show off just how grown up
they are.
You can get creative and
use this theme in unexpected places too, like on the paper plates, on a sign on
your front door or as part of the party favours.
Art and Rainbow Theme
If your little one is a
budding artist, play to that interest by hosting an art or rainbow themed
party. Some decorations that fit this theme include coloured balloons, paper
rainbows, striped napkins and paper plates and mock paint cans for utensil
cups.
Cover the table in white
butcher paper and let the kids go wild with Crayons or markers or do a simple
art project together. For party favours, consider putting together bags full of
Crayons, a small notepad, coloured pencils and stencils. Use lot of sprinkles
on the cake, cupcakes or ice cream for another burst of colour.
Dress-Up Theme
A dress-up theme is perfect
for a party full of little girls. Ask the guests to come dressed up in a
glamorous dress, decked out in jewellery or help them get all fancied up at the
party. Do manicures, apply make up or braid the girls’ hair. Think lipstick,
mirrors, high heels, jewellery and plenty of rhinestones and glitter when it
comes to decor.
Pirate Theme
Create a pirate-themed
party with all the classics: ships, pirate hats, eye patches, parrots and of
course, lots of gold coins. You can easily transform your house into a venue
fit for pirates by scattering these things on tabletops and throughout the
party space.
One fun activity for this
party would be to fill a kids’ wading pool with sand and bury all kinds of
treasures, like gold coins, small toys, wrapped candy, and anything else you
can think of, in the sand and let the kids dig for treasure.
Pool Party
You don’t have to have a
pool to host a kids’ pool party! You can use a wading pool or slip and slide,
or just turn the sprinklers on and tell the guests to bring swimming suits and
towels. Complete this theme with summer and pool décor like life vests, blow-up
pool toys, goggles, sandals and beach toys. This is the perfect party if you’re
looking for something to do outside during the summer. Have a water fight, try
to throw wet sponges into buckets or have some old-fashioned relay races in the
yard.
Superhero Party
Superhero parties are
always popular and are also easy to pull off. With some themed decorations,
paper plates and invitations, you’re all set for the coolest party on the
block! Get creative with the cake and decorate it with your child’s favourite
superhero’s colours or even logo.
Loveable Monster Theme
A cute and creative kids’
party theme is a loveable monster theme. This is another theme that is so
simple to put together but that adds a little “something” to a party. To get
this look, just use markers to add faces to bright-coloured paper cups and
plates and use poster board to create some large, friendly monsters. Kids can
make their own monster puppets with paper bags, craft eyes, scrap paper,
feathers and markers.
Milk and Cookies Theme
What kid doesn’t love milk and
cookies? Take this concept to the max by hosting a party where kids get to
decorate and then snack on cookies with a glass of cold milk. Set out frosting,
sprinkles and small candies and let the kids practice their culinary skills.
You can use decorations that convey a baking or cookie theme to top it off.
Snow and Ice Theme
For a winter birthday,
embrace the cold weather, snow and ice and use them to complete a theme. Think
snowflakes, icicles, mittens, snowmen, ice skates and sleds as you plan
decorations and activities. For refreshments, serve hot chocolate complete with
marshmallows or candy canes. Take the classic pin the tail on the donkey game to
a new direction by having kids pin a carrot nose onto a large paper snowman.
Circus or Animal Theme
Most kids are really into
animals so this theme is one that will have your child and all their guests
excited. Use animal pictures and bright crepe paper and balloons to give your
home a circus look and then serve animal crackers for the snack. Have kids make
clown masks with paper plates, markers, fabric, cotton balls, yarn and other
craft supplies and then take lots of silly pictures!
Movie Party
A movie party is another
easy one to pull off. You can do this indoors or you can play a movie on a big
screen outside. Lay down blankets where the kids can get comfortable and then
serve popcorn, fruit punch and licorice for refreshments. As you put together
invitations, think movie reels, three-dimensional glasses or characters from
the movie you are showing.
Camping Party
With some tents,
flash-lights, smores and lanterns, you have all you need for a camping party.
This is another theme you can do inside or outside and is unique enough to be
fun but something you can put together with things in your garage.
With just a little
creativity you can come up with a party theme that matches your child’s personality
and that will give all their friends a good time!
