Sleepover Party Food

There’s no need to order pizza when you can let guests make their own for double the fun at a fraction of the cost! Provide them with a mini pizza buffet with your crust of choice, pizza sauce and all the toppings. My favorite girls’ sleepover ideas are snack-related! Idea from Eighteen25.

You can even jazz up standard popcorn with this idea from Family Fresh Meals. While I’m partial to chocolate, my girls would love adding gummies to theirs! What’s your topping of choice?

Prep these adorable sleeping bag Teddy Grahams before the sleepover activities begin or make them an activity for all of your guests! | Source on Pinterest

Speaking of popcorn, these Popcorn Cupcakes are too cute. They make a great substitute for traditional birthday cake!

Make cookies and milk an extra special treat with fun glasses. I love this idea from Style Me Pretty.

Don’t stress out over breakfast. A simple waffle bar buffet will fill everyone up and the girls will love getting to customize their plates.

Cereal — an oldie, but a goodie! Greet your guests in the morning with cereal and a personalized spoon from Oh Sugar Event Planning (no longer available.)

Spend the Night Party Décor

Glow sticks are always a winner with my kids. Make a surprise middle of the night chocolate buffet! I love how different this is from the other girls’ sleepover ideas. They can take their glow sticks to bed with them.

Make a sleeping tent for each guest. Keep them on hand for future events — your guests will want to experience this again and again! This teepee set was purchased internationally from Kmart, but you can definitely make your own with this tutorial here.

11 FUN SLEEPOVER GAMES FOR GIRLS

Use these games ideas to play with all the girls that are coming over to spend the night! These are the perfect slumber party games.

“DECORATING OFF”

Grab some already baked cookies and see who can decorate them the best. Set a timer for 5 minutes and at the end, the coolest cookie wins!

Supplies: Baked cookies, cookie decorating supplies.

TRUTH OR DARE BALLOON BURST

Think of this as a combination of truth or dare and musical chairs. Fill balloons with truth or dare questions and then fill them up with air. As the music is playing, pass the balloon around to each person. Once the music stops, the person holding the balloon has to pop the balloon and complete the dare inside or answer the question of truth.

Supplies: Balloons, paper, pencil, music. (See our 100 Truth or Dare Questions for Kids)

MURDER IN THE DARK CARDS

All you need is a deck of cards. Leave only the numbered cards in the pile, plus 1 ace and 1 face card. That’s it. Have everyone draw a card. The one who gets the ace card is the detective and the one who gets the face card is the murderer. The detective reveals themselves but no one else does.

As no one is looking, the murderer has to wink at their latest victim in which that person quietly goes “out” and puts down their card. It’s up to the detective only to figure out who is needing to be charged with the crime.

Supplies: A deck of cards.

SPIN THE BOTTLE OF NAIL POLISH

This is all about crazy nail colors! Put a nail polish bottle in the middle of the circle and spin. Whoever it lands on has to paint their nails that color. Keep going until crazy nails are everywhere.

Supplies: Random colors of fingernail polish.

CHARADES

This is the typical game of charades. You can even play in the dark to add a super fun twist to it.

Supplies: Charades cards templates or pieces of paper.

MUSICAL SLEEPING BAGS

Make certain that you have one less sleeping bag than people playing. Start the music and have everyone walking around the sleeping bags. Once the music stops, they get to hop in the bags and pretend to sleep. Anyone without a bag is out.

Supplies: Sleeping bags, music.

BOBBING 4 DONUTS

Grab some string and hang up those donuts. The first person that can finish the donut off the string without using their hands, wins!

Supplies: String, donuts.

SARDINES

It’s like a reverse game of hide and seek. This game starts with one person hiding and then everyone else looking for them. As they are found, the finder joins in each time until there is a huge group of people hiding and one final person trying to find them all.

KEEP TALKING

Just how much can you talk? Put a whole bunch of random topics on pieces of paper and put them in the bowl. The kids will draw out one piece and talk about that topic for 2 minutes non-stop. What all will they say?!

Supplies: Big bowl, pieces of paper, pencil.

BLIND VAN GOGH

Split up into two teams and pick someone to put on the blindfold. Once they can’t see what it is, choose an object that the other person has to explain (without saying the actual name of the object) and have them draw out what they think is being described.

Supplies: Blindfold, pencil, paper.

BLIND MAKEOVER

Get ready to show off your makeup skills. Pick someone to be the makeup person, and one person to get their face decorated. Add the blindfold to the makeup artist and set a timer for 2 minutes. See how good their makeup looks once done!

Supplies: Makeup supplies.

It’s a jungle out there! Don’t get lost in the overgrown vines preparing for this special occasion. Enjoy these easy jungle party ideas and safari themed birthday party inspiration. Overlap the two for the best birthday party for your child. Get the wild party started.

So, you’re planning a party for your little monkey, and you’ve decided on a jungle or safari theme. Great idea! This is a popular theme for many reasons—it’s super cute, easy to pull off yourself, and can be pretty affordable if you do most of the décor and food yourself.

In this post, we’ll share lots of ideas that will help make your child’s birthday party a roaring success. From animal-inspired decorations to fun games and activities, we have everything you need to plan the perfect jungle-themed celebration. So get ready to unleash your inner adventurer and let the festivities begin!

Jungle Party Cake Ideas

Whether you’re throwing a cute party for your baby or toddler or a more sophisticated bash, these leaf printables jungle cupcake toppers will fit right in. They’re stylish without being over-the-top “cute” and can take cupcakes from “meh” to “amazing” in minutes with cute palm leaves and tigers. | Oh Happy Day

This colorful jungle-themed birthday cake will dazzle on any dessert table. Adorable safari animals and trees surround the bottom layer of the cake, while animal tracks adorn the top layer, along with the child’s age. You’ll find loads more ideas here, like the animal cookie sandwiches, banana pudding for monkeys, and some charming cupcakes with fondant animal toppers. | Roxy’s Kitchen

Want to DIY a cake yourself? It’s super easy to do. Make a basic two-tiered chocolate cake, and add some jungle animal figurines to the top. With jungle animal toys (or safari animals), it’s pretty simple, but it still looks professional and polished. | Kara’s Party Ideas

Safari Birthday Party Food

You’ll find so many cute jungle party foods here, from the snake sandwich, to the lion hummus, to the adorable cupcakes. Even the zebra bites and tiger tales are magazine worthy (and drool worthy). All of the ideas are simple to execute. Don’t make the ideas complicated with a jungle recipe, run to subway and let the sandwich artist do this meat, cheese and bread laying. You just add the pretty decor. | Chelsea’s Messy Apron

How amazing are these zebra chocolate covered strawberries? While they look difficult to make, they’re actually quite easy by dipping the strawberries in white chocolate first and then dipping the tip in milk chocolate while drizzling some up the “nose” using a spoon to create stripes. | Arts Crackers

Offer a healthy option that’s still cute and fun, like these jungle fruit and veggie trees. Carrot sticks and celery make excellent tree trunks, while apple or pear slices are the perfect leaves. | Honey and Lime

Here’s another healthy snack that’s sure to make the kids smile—tiger cub cuties. Draw the faces on with a Sharpie or a food-safe marker if you have concerns about the permanent marker. | Pen Lights to Pacifiers

Set up a jungle display on your buffet party table by weaving faux greenery throughout the dishes on your table. Include a mix of meats, veggies, and kid-friendly fare like pinwheels and sandwiches. | Catch My Party

Jungle Party Décor Ideas

With some cute safari animals (think giraffes, elephants, zebras, and tigers) and a few inexpensive jungle party supplies from Dollar Tree, you can make fabulous centerpieces for your jungle-themed party for just a few bucks each. These low-cost party decorations make cute party favors too. | Drugstore Divas

Put these animal party cups together to hold snacks like popcorn, candy, or individual cups of veggies and dip. You’ll need craft paper, glue, and scissors to transform your cups into monkeys, giraffes, or parrots themed treats. | Makes and Takes

Every detail of this neutral safari party is gorgeous. From the wooden crafts for displaying the cupcakes and cake, to the pretty favor boxes filled with animal crackers, the tan and brown colors all tie together nicely. I especially love the DIY rosettes in the background of the dessert table. | A Pumpkin and a Princess

Make an eye-catching balloon arch using animal print balloons along with colors that tie into the overall color scheme for the party. This pop of color will be perfect for taking photos with family and friends. | Kara’s Party Ideas

Cut animal silhouettes out of cardboard or foam board, paint them, and set them up in various places at your venue. They’ll look fantastic anywhere, from sitting in tall blades of grass, near a tree, or hanging on a wall if you’re partying indoors. This website also has free jungle party printables. | Windmill and Protea

Safari Party Activities for Kids

Set up a crafting area for the children to make a colorful paper plate lion. The design is simple enough for even young kids to do, but all ages will enjoy it. If you want to avoid a mess with paint, use yellow paper plates and red, brown, and orange paper strips instead. | Taming Little Monsters

For a simple, mess-free craft, try these cardboard tube monkeys. Cut the ears and face out of cardstock or construction paper, and add a pipe cleaner tail. How simple is that? | Jinxy Kids

Put on your safari hat. Provide a photo op for kids and parents alike using this Jeep idea! You’ll need a cardboard Jeep cutout and some willing adventurers to smile for the camera. | Arts Crackers

Provide these felt jungle masks for your partygoers to put on as soon as they arrive. It’ll be a fun way to get everyone on board with the theme and will serve as a cute favor keepsake from the party. Your stitching doesn’t have to be flawless for these masks, but if you want to skip the sewing altogether, use a sturdy fabric glue instead. | Tonya Staab

These DIY giraffe party hats are another fun wearable item for your guests. The printable is free, and you can jazz up the assembled hats with yarn pom-pom toppers. | Moms and Crafters

You can’t embark on a safari without a trusty pair of binoculars to help you see the animals up close and personal! These DIY toilet paper roll binoculars are a blast for kids to make themselves as a party craft. However, you can make them beforehand and let guests grab a pair during the party or as they leave. The printable binocular cover is a cute touch. | Go Places with Kids

Dump everything and join the crew for this set of Construction Party Ideas. When preparing for this bulldozer birthday party, a hard hat is required!

Under Construction Party Ideas

In October we had my son’s second birthday. I was sure it was going to be a Thomas the Train party and so we purchased the most adorable 2 year old train shirt. In addition to my purchase, I did amazing research on making the perfect train party. I tend to do that. Posts that go up on my blog are because we are moving and I need moving hacks or because I am expecting a baby after a big gap in my children and need reminders of newborn tips. I digress…

The Construction Cake

So my son’s two year old birthday rolled around and after purchasing our train shirt, I went on a hunt to find the most appropriate cake at our grocery store (I am frugal, I wasn’t headed to a stand alone bakery.) The train cakes were not cute, so we settled on a bulldozer cake and thus our party went from a cute little train theme to a Constriction Party with a precious little boy in a train shirt!… I am proud to say, I didn’t care!

Now that the party is behind us, I decided to go ahead and get that Construction Themed Birthday Party on the blog because getting things done late work when you are mother of five!

You might have orange fingers after you dig into these wrecking balls! You can put other snacks in hard hats for a cute Construction Tablescape for your eats. | Moms and Munchkins

Speaking of wrecking balls, turn a swing set into a wrecking ball area for play! You can wrap old shipping boxes with kraft paper and line them with black sharpie markers to make them look like bricks! | Source Unknown.

Construction Goodie bags can be made with candy and plastic orange cones! Pair with these construction party favor gift tags. | Hersheys

I have to give my 10 year old daughter credit for our dig in construction napkins and plates display. She used clip art to decorate the table and make the dump truck look like there was dirt inside.

From an 80s themed party, neon sweet 16 to a late night summer rage party, have a good time with these must know Glow in the Dark Party Ideas for the kids. Make sure you include the black light!

Glow in the Dark Party Ideas

My research is done. I am so ready to throw one of my kids a glow party! I think I want this themed party as much as them. There are so many cool ideas to pull of the ultimate, most raging, glow-in-the-dark party for the kids.

Keep in mind, for the ultimate glow in the dark party, you will need a black light. Black light allows a neon spectrum, invisible to the natural eye, to glow. Otherwise, you will not have that pop with your colors and things will appear neon but not glow with the lights out!

Black lights emit most of their light waves just outside the range humans can perceive, in the Ultraviolet (UV) part of the spectrum. When a UV light wave hits an object containing substances known as phosphors, those phosphors will naturally fluoresce, and glow. Source: Today I Found Out.

Spa Birthday Party Foods

You can’t have a birthday party without a spectacular birthday cake. This spa cake looks too pretty to eat but sounds too delicious to pass up. On the inside, the cake is made up of vanilla cake, graham cracker crust, and strawberry cheesecake filling. A graham cracker crust buttercream frosting tops the cake. It’s decorated with fondant pieces made to look like nail polish, makeup palettes, a sleep mask, and other spa goodies. | Saving Cakes

Opt for spa-themed cupcakes if you don’t want to fuss with a complicated layer cake. Vanilla cupcakes are filled with raspberry jam and topped with a fresh raspberry frosting. The sleep mask is made out of royal icing, and a fresh raspberry tops each one. They’re so simple and pretty. You could even use this spa party food as spa party favors to go with a fun eye mask. | Posh Little Designs

Keep things simple and healthy with veggies and hummus in individual cups. There’s no chopping, measuring, or worrying about guests scooping too much of the dip onto their plates. These are perfectly sized for your guests to grab and enjoy as they mingle. You may also want to try this idea with small fruit skewers and fruit dip. | About a Mom

A fruit tray platter is a welcome addition to any party.

Set up a hair station so each girl can try out a brand-new ‘do. Provide curling wands, curling irons, straighteners, and blow dryers to achieve the desired look.

When it’s time to plan an entertaining activity for teenagers, a photo scavenger hunt for teens is a great idea to break the ice and get the party started.

Teen Party Invitations

When it comes to planning a birthday party for teens, snail mail is a thing of the past. You might find your child using a text chain to get the word out for their party but if you want something special, digital teen party invitations are a better way to go. They can be sent via text message or email.

There are a few places you can get digital teen party invites that are sent electronically.

Guest List

Since this is a team scavenger hunt, you will want a good amount of kiddos on your birthday party guest list. Plan to have at least 4 to 10 kids on a team to execute this photo treasure hunt. I personally think, the more the merrier but you do want to be able to control your party guests in a public location.

Planning the teen guest list is rather important. Consider you guest list as your location is going to be in a public setting. Do you know the child, do you trust the child? These are all good questions to ask yourself before your send out the teen party invites.

Consider adding a few adults to the guest list that way you have power in numbers of controlling the ~~wild~~ teens.

Scavenger Hunt Location

The first step is to pick a location that you want the hunt to take place in. This can be anything from a local park to a shopping mall. Popular places to host a tween scavenger hunt include Target, the mall, an outdoor shopping center or Walmart. You could even take a photography scavenger hunt to an amusement park.

Consider how crowded the area is. how much can you control the space. Are the busy highways or roads, is security available, etc. You will be the adult in charge, so the location is very important.

Once you have the location, you need to come up with a list of items that the tweens and teens will need to find during the hunt.

Checklist of Scavenger Hunt Items

Next, come up with a list of items for the scavenger hunt. The items should reflect interests, popular themes and trends among teenagers.

Some ideas for items to include on the scavenger hunt list are:

A picture of the entire team with a sales associate
A picture of a group member wearing a funny hat
A picture of a item that you can’t live without
A picture of something that starts with each letter of your teen’s name
A group selfie with all participants
A shot of a team member doing a silly pose
Find a celebrity look-alike and take a picture with them
Go to a famous landmarks and take selfies in front of it

These are just a few suggestions of items that would be perfect for a picture scavenger hunt for teens. Don’t be afraid to get silly- that’s the whole point of a photograph scavenger hunt.

Customize the list of photo scavenger hunt ideas for your group and the kids are sure to have a blast!

Photo Scavenger Hunt List

Whatever you do, don’t stress. This is a fun and crazy game meant to lighten the mood at any party. To help you put the fun back in your party plan, we’ve put together a printable scavenger hunt list that will help you if you’re feeling stuck or you’re short on time.

How to Play

Begin the scavenger hunt birthday party with a starting location. This can be the food court of your public setting. It gives parents a place for drop off and pickup. It also creates a meeting and emergency spot as needed during the treasure hunt. Your food court typically has bathrooms and and it will provide you seating to talk through the game instructions.

Once you have a photo scavenger hunt list of items, it’s time to start the adventure! Go over the scavenger hunt rules and give each team a list of things they need to find and take photos of. Make sure the teams fill in their start time before they head out to search for items.

On the start of go, teams will be set free i~~n the wild like a bunch of animals~~. As they find items they will take a photograph (using their smartphones or cameras) and place a checkmark by the item on their fun photo scavenger hunt list of ideas. There is no order to the clues, they can find their next clue in any order.

Plan a meeting place for everyone to check in and set a time limit for the hunt. Anywhere from 1 to 1.5 hours is usually plenty of time to complete the hunt. When it’s time to check in, have each team present their photos to mom and the fellow group members on the other team.

Finally, scoring. Victory is only declared when you have winners. The teammates that finish first, with all the items correctly, win. If no one finishes before times up, the team with the most points (or items completed on their checklist) wins the scavenger hunt! Deduct points for every minute the team goes over the timer.

For a variation, you can make this a photo challenge too. Take a look at the pics and vote for winners based best photos.

If you need prizes for a teenage scavenger hunt, consider $5 gift cards to perhaps a few of the stores in the mall. Other fun scavenger hunt teen game prizes can be giant candy bars, cash, small trophies, food, iTunes gift cards or even fidget toys.

Pro Tip: Run through the scavenger hunt yourself the day before. If something is not available, tell the kids to go ahead and scratch off the freebie. This will also give you an estimate of the time needed for the scavenger hunt at this location.

The point of mall scavenger hunts is to have fun, so the photos don’t have to be perfect. Just make sure everyone gets involved and has a good time.

Once everyone is done, head to the food court to sing happy birthday and enjoy some cake, cupcakes or even cookies!
