More Creative Birthday Party Ideas

Storybook Birthday Party

This is a fun party theme for any age child and is a perfect setting for a gift like the KidKraft dollhouse bookcase or Avalon bookcase. Send out invitations that look like books and encourage guests to give books as their gift. Also asks your guests to dress up as their favorite storybook character.

Provide plenty of comfortable seating for the party and decorate with a variety of storybook decorations, concentrating on your childs favorites. Begin the party by guessing each guests character and voting on the best costume. Activities may include a craft project, like making a bookmark or designing a book cover, a special story time that may involve a storyteller, and book games, like word puzzles or building towers of books.

Refreshments for your book birthday party could be foods from a favorite book or traditional party foods. A cake shaped like a storybook or decorated with favorite characters will fit the theme perfectly. Give your guests small book totes or decorative bags with an inexpensive book, bookmarks, an interesting pen or pencil, books of candy, stickers, or other inexpensive storybook favors.

Lets Get Cooking Birthday Party

This is an ideal birthday party theme for preschoolers and young elementary age children. A cooking party may be more appropriate for little girls, but can be adapted for boys or a mix of children. Recipe card style invitations are a creative way to announce the details of your party. Remember to tell parents that the children will be cooking and that they may get messy. You will also need to enlist the help of another adult to monitor the oven.

Before the birthday party begins, prepare a few batches of cookie dough, as well as some pizza dough. As guests arrive, get their hands washed and give them a small bowl of cookie dough and a variety of items to mix in to it, like marshmallows, chocolate and peanut butter chips, and nuts (check with parents about food allergies before the party). Then let the child drop the dough onto a small baking sheet and put them in the oven.

Once everyone has arrived, let the guests roll out their pizza dough, spread the sauce, and create a personal pizza with their favorite toppings. While the pizzas are cooking, let everyone help mix cupcake batter and pour into muffin tins. After eating pizza, if the cupcakes are cooled, let each guest frost their cupcake and top with sprinkles, adding a candle to the birthday cupcake.

Games to play at your cooking birthday party could include a shopping race to fill a bag with food items, a name the spice sniffing game, or a relay race to fill a bowl using a teaspoon. Send your birthday party guests home with an inexpensive childs cooking apron, their own set of measuring spoons, a cookie cutter, a recipe card, and the cookies decorated during the party.
