Unique Birthday Party Ideas for Children
Looking for unique birthday party ideas for children can seem a bit overwhelming with all of the mass marketed themes available. If you want truly unique birthday party ideas for children you can always look to your own childhood for inspiration.
Spaceship Party
Children have very active imaginations and with a little help from you, your house can turn into a high tech spaceship. Buy stamps of aliens and spaceships at your local craft store. Use those to personalize the invitations and the paper tablecloth, cups, and goodie bags. Make or purchase a cake in the shape of an alien or spaceship. Using a permanent marker you can draw alien faces, spaceships, and shooting stars on balloons. Children can play space tag, much like freeze tag from a generation ago. For an easy activity and thank you gift you can set up a t-shirt decorating station. Provide fabric markers and non toxic paint and let the children use their imaginations to create their own space suit.
Safari Party
A safari party is perfect for a child that loves animals. Have children come dressed as their favorite animal. Use your childs favorite animal as the basis for the cake and balloons. Hide and seek can be turned into a safari expedition where the seeker is the hunter and those that are hiding are the animals. Simon Says can be turned into Safari Says. Have the actions center around those of animals. For example, Safari Says jump up like a frog or roar like a lion. An easy activity to get everyone in the mood for a safari is creating masks. Buy white paper plates, cut them in half, and cut holes for the eyes. Punch a hole on either side of the mask and tie a piece of yarn from either side. Lay these out along with markers, glue, glitter, feathers, and other craft supplies. Let children make a mask of any animal they can imagine.
When looking for unique birthday party ideas for children dont forget to ask the child what he or she would like. Some of the most unique ideas come from the children themselves.
