For summer birthdays or just a fun get-together, kids love a good party! Why not take advantage of the beautiful summer weather and have the party outside? Get going with these 5 cool outdoor kids party ideas<\/a>!<\/p>\n

1. Kids Olympics Party<\/p>\n

Cabin fever may be setting in after all the April showers and being stuck in school, so get the kids outside and burn off some energy! Tap into their competitive side and set up a Kids Olympics party! \u201cActive\u201d is the name of the game with this theme. Discus throws (using Frisbees), obstacle courses, balance beams, or hula hoop contests are great choices for a Kids Olympics Party. You can also encourage teamwork with relay races or a team sport like whiffle ball or kickball. At the end of the party, give away small prizes or even have a medal ceremony to bring the festivities to a close!<\/p>\n

2. Sensory Party<\/p>\n

Younger children are always curious about the world around them. Why not embrace it and host a Sensory Party? Tell your guests to wear some \u201cplay clothes\u201d or provide souvenir T-shirts as party favors. Then, prepare to get messy! Set up stations that help kids explore all five senses. For example, a sand art creation table will let kids make art out of brightly-coloured sand. It also helps them use their visual creativity to make something unique! Auditory stations can include simple instruments like tambourines or recorders. Since it\u2019s outside, the sound won\u2019t drive you crazy! Or, make some Rainbow Foam for a tactile station. It\u2019s easy to make and allows children to get messy while exploring a fun texture.\u00a0 Just remember, the messier the better for your outdoor kids party ideas!<\/p>\n

Looking for a way to cool off in the summer heat? Just add water! Have your guests bring their swimsuits, towels, and sunscreen for a day of fun in the sun. Activities like Slip n\u2019 Slides or sprinklers are easy ways to add a little H2O to your outdoor party. Water games are always a great addition to outdoor kids party ideas. If all else fails, pass out squirt guns or water balloons and let the battle begin!<\/p>\n

4. Animal Party<\/p>\n

While we\u2019re all fans of furry creatures, sometimes the thought of having them inside is a little daunting. That\u2019s why animals are the perfect addition to an outdoor party! Does your kiddo dream of riding a pony or holding a hedgehog? An animal party<\/a> can deliver! Most petting zoos or pony parties only need a small amount of space outside, like your garden. Reptile shows are great for Jurassic Park or jungle-themed parties. The animals are usually enough to hold the kids\u2019 attention, but animal games can be a just as fun!<\/p>\n
