The childhood years seem to fly by, so celebrate your little one’s special day with the best, most memorable birthday bash ever! Go beyond balloons and cake with these fun party themes for babies, toddlers and young children.
Glitz Party BKK, a Bangkok-based party planner that provides ready-made and customized party packages, offers some ideas on some popular party themes and activities to thrill your little guest of honor and their friends.
Animal Party
Children love animals and the choices of decor, games and activities around this theme are endless. You could take the kids on a jungle safari, ocean adventure or simply on a farm tour. Decorate the party venue with many kind of animals, prepare animal masks for the children to make and/or wear, do a scavenger hunt with different kinds of animal figurines, or hire some mascots to come in and surprise everyone!
Unicorn Party
The unicorn theme brings a bit of magic and spark to a party, and there’s so much work to work with. You could play pin the horn on the unicorn, create a unicorn world with pastel colored decor, set up a unicorn piñata, and decorate the dessert table with cute unicorn treats: unicorn cookies, unicorn cupcakes, pastel marshmallow candy, and much more.
Dinosaur Party
Rawr! This is a cool theme that can be tailored for a range of ages; toddlers would likely prefer colourful dinosaurs that are less frightening. Get the little partygoers to make their own dinosaur tails to wear (or provide ready-made ones), decorate the party with giant paper mache dino-eggs, and prepare fun foods like Pterodactyl (chicken) Wings, Dino Eggs (hard boiled eggs dyed green), and Swamp Sludge (green jelly with dinosaur or fish gummy candies inside).
Space Party
With this theme, you’ve got the stars, planets and other celestial bodies, and you can let your imagination run wild with alien characters, UFOs, astronauts, rocket ships and even your child’s favorite space-related characters. Deck out the party room as a mysterious space colony, feature some galactic mascots and play space games. For the latter, kids can pretend to float in space to music and freeze when the music stops, hunt for aliens or search for moon rocks.
