If your child loves the idea of a festival but without the mud, why not recreate a festival party?
So, why should the kids miss out, on festival like glastonbury when it can be done at home? Throwing a music festival themed children’s party at any season is sure to make you a hit with your child and their friends. Here are some great ideas.
Invitations
You can have lots of fun making your festival themed invitations.
Tickets
A great invitation idea is to base the design on festival tickets. How about drawing some welly boots and colouring them in and writing the invite on the back, or even a tent themed invite?
Fancy Dress
Obviously at a festival anything goes, neon skirts and headbands, leggings and don’t forget the welly boots. If you wanted to have a bit of a theme then why not get the children to dress up as their favourite rock star?
Decorations
Creating a music festival in your garden isn’t as difficult as it sounds. Divide the space into signed areas such as ‘campsite’, ‘main stage’, ‘dance tent’, and ‘refreshments’. Borrow some friend’s tents to create the camping area and set up a barbecue in the refreshments area.
String flags and bunting around the garden and hang national flags from a number of countries in front of the ‘main stage’.
Activities
You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to festival themed activities.
Making Flower Crowns. Make sure you supervise this activity – ensuring each child works one-on-one with an adult is a good idea.
Making classic festival flower crowns is a lovely activity for older children’s and teens parties, and will provide girls with a memento to take home with them. They are surprisingly easy to make – all you’ll need is floral wire, floral tape, fabric flowers and glue.
