1. Kids Olympics Party<\/span><\/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,\u00a0balance beams, or hula hoop contests are great choices for a children\u2019s Olympics Party. You can also encourage teamwork with relay races or a team sport like whiffle ball or kickball.\u00a0At the end of the party, give away small prizes or even have a medal ceremony to bring the festivities to a close!<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Sensory Party<\/span><\/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. Then, prepare to get messy! Set up stations that help kids explore all five senses. For example, a sand 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 drums or recorders. Since it\u2019s outside, the sound won\u2019t drive you as 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. \u00a0Just remember, the messier the better for your outdoor kid\u2019s party ideas<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a03. Just Add Water Party<\/span><\/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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Animal Party<\/span><\/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 child dream of riding a pony or holding a hedgehog? An animal party 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!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Musical Chairs. Each time the music stops and a child is out, designate them as \u201cit\u201d and let them choose their favourite animal. If they say \u201chorse,\u201d the remaining kids can gallop around the circle of chairs until the music stops. Kids love animals, so this party should be a hit!<\/span><\/p>\n

Top of Form<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Outdoor Movie Night Party\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bring the movies to your garden! Your kids and their friends of all ages will love being able to pile onto blankets in the grass and watch a family-friendly film. Rent your own outdoor movie screen or make your own by stringing up a white painter\u2019s canvas. Most rented screens come with a projector, or you can buy a decent one for around \u00a3100. Not a bad investment if you plan to use it a few times throughout the summer! Set up a movie snack bar with popcorn and classic sweet choices. Set up tin buckets filled with ice and bottled pop to bring out the nostalgic vibe. Outdoor kids party ideas<\/a> don\u2019t have to be complicated; sometimes it\u2019s just about spending time together<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
