Space fascinates many children, and also makes for an excellent kid birthday party theme. There is a lot you can do with rockets, aliens, stars and planets. Get creative and see how many decoration, game, and food ideas you can come up with to further this fun theme. Try starting with these five suggestions to get things going! Your guests will have a great time celebrating your child's birthday with a touch of sci fi style!
Tip 1: Hang the Universe on your Wall
If you are hosting the party at home, then get some construction paper and get to work! An outer space kid birthday party theme is best complimented by stars, moons and planets. Cut out these familiar shapes then decorate them with glitter and colored glue. Try cutting separate pieces from different colored paper. For example, if you wish to make a Saturn planet, the actual body of the planet could be red and the rings can be cut out in purple. These same wall hangings can be made two sided and dangle from the ceiling.
Tip 2: Make Your Own Rocket Ship Centerpieces
Creating three dimensional rocket ships out of colored construction paper is easy. Coil a cylinder topped with a cone, add a few fins and you are done! These can be placed at the center of tables. To add stability, try placing a bag of sand inside or anchoring them to a piece of cardboard at the base. Your child can add windows and logos using paints, markers or glitter and glue.
Tip 3: Don't Forget the Otherworldly Visitors
Take this kid birthday party theme wherever you want by adding in your child's favorite elements. For example, a few aliens or flying saucers can be worked in as well. Just because it is an outer space theme doesn't mean you must stick with planets and stars. Aliens can be made in all colors and shapes, so get creative and add variety to your décor.
Tip 4: Plan a UFO Toss
If you are in need of games to go with this kid birthday party theme, consider doing a UFO toss. This activity works best outdoors or indoors when ample space is available. Purchase Frisbees at a dollar or discount store. Cheap plastic ones work fine. Also buy some silver spray paint and paint each Frisbee. Then, divide up the party goers into pairs and start tossing those UFOs! The pair that can catch the "UFO" at the greatest distance wins!
Tip 5: Deciding on an Out of This World Cake
The cake should also compliment your outer space kid birthday party theme. If you plan to order a cake from a bakery, make sure you request a fitting design. Most can provide a book or images of possible design options. These may include a few rocket ships or space themes. If you do not see one you like, ask if you can make a special request. On the other hand, if you plan to make your own cake, purchase food coloring and dye the icing. Dark blue or black should be used over the entire cake, with yellow and white icing for stars. A plastic toy rocket ship could be added to finish the look.
