Throwing a music festival <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kiddyzone.co.uk\">themed children&#8217;s party<\/a> at any season is sure to make you a hit with your child and their friends. Here are some great ideas.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Invitations<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You can have lots of fun making your festival themed invitations.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tickets<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">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?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Fancy Dress<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Obviously at a festival anything goes, neon skirts and headbands, leggings and don\u2019t 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?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Decorations<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Creating a music festival in your garden isn\u2019t as difficult as it sounds. Divide the space into signed areas such as \u2018campsite\u2019, \u2018main stage\u2019, \u2018dance tent\u2019, and \u2018refreshments\u2019. Borrow some friend\u2019s tents to create the camping area and set up a barbecue in the refreshments area.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">String flags and bunting around the garden and hang national flags from a number of countries in front of the \u2018main stage\u2019.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Activities<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You\u2019re spoilt for choice when it comes to festival themed activities.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Making Flower Crowns.\u00a0 Make sure you supervise this activity \u2013 ensuring each child works one-on-one with an adult is a good idea.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Making classic festival flower crowns is a lovely activity for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kiddyzone.co.uk\/group\/age-13+\/248\">older children&#8217;s and teens parties<\/a>, and will provide girls with a memento to take home with them. They are surprisingly easy to make \u2013 all you\u2019ll need is floral wire, floral tape, fabric flowers and glue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If your child loves the idea of a festival but without the mud, why not recreate a festival party?
