The baby's first birthdays are still difficult to guess with the theme of the holiday. After all, the little one doesn’t yet have his favorite characters or any specific desires, but he wants to organize a beautiful celebration. In this case, a safari-style holiday is ideal. In this article I collected interesting and simple ideas for decor.
Children's birthday party in safari style
Air balloons
The simplest decoration is balloons. For this topic, you can see here foil helium balloons in the form of African animals: giraffes, lions, zebras, tigers, etc. You can also buy a lot of green, orange and brown balls (these colors are suitable for the holiday theme). You can make a garland for decoration from ordinary balls.

Children's birthday party in safari animal theme
Do you want to have an unforgettable, bright and stylish birthday for your one-year-old baby? Throw him a fun and colorful themed party in a safari setting. The baby and his friends will definitely love this, because there are so many animals and bright colors here! You will be able to interest even the little ones and involve them in an exciting game. All you need for this is stylized table decor, room decor from garlands and balls, a lot of greenery and toys from the Safari collection.
Look at these ideas on how you can decorate a holiday room in a stylish and very unusual way using an installation of balloons. It can be mounted under the ceiling, on the floor, or as in the photo - against the background of a wall-stand decorated with artificial greenery. Party colors are all shades of green, orange, gold, black and white. The main prints are wildlife and animal patterns - foliage, striped or spotted animal patterns.
To organize an excellent photo zone that will correspond to the concept of a Safari party, it is enough to arrange a corner or part of the room where you attach a green carpet of artificial plants, add vines or garlands, balls and place toy savannah and jungle animals on shelves of different levels.
If you equip a photo zone with toys and treats, decorated in a party style, you will get a wonderful candy bar area.
A separate dining area should be organized, where there will be a table with chairs for guests, a separate area for gifts, you can arrange a separate bar for children's drinks. The birthday chair should also be especially decorated and a paper garland would be better.
To make the colorful decor stand out more favorably against the background of the room, it is better if the walls and furniture in it are light and monochromatic; it is better to remove all unnecessary things to highlight the decor. In decorations and furnishings, use natural materials and natural colors typical of areas such as savannas and jungles. Wood and greenery work great!
The candy bar will stand alone, so the dining table is decorated only with stylized dishes and Safari toys. A great idea is to place each animal figurine on a stand made of a round cut of wood, natural or imitation. The same technique is used on the sweet table with treats.
The candy bar will stand alone, so the dining table is decorated only with stylized dishes and Safari toys. A great idea is to place each animal figurine on a stand made of a round cut of wood, natural or imitation. The same technique is used on the sweet table with treats.
Each guest is provided with plates, napkins and paper cups, disposable cutlery and straws for drinks. This is not only practical and safe, but also allows you to personalize the party, making it unique.
You can use these plastic sheets as a placemat for dishes on the table. They reliably imitate real jungle leaves, so they fit perfectly into the interior. Caps for guests also have funny prints and serve as an additional decoration for the table.
Children can be given a package of shaped cookies in the shape of safari animals in a package, a bottle of water decorated with stickers from the Safari collection. The inscriptions on packages and bottles, bags of souvenirs and other decorations must be identical and reflect a single concept of the holiday.
Cups can be used either plastic or paper. The plastic ones are transparent and without prints, so they are perfectly complemented by colorful tubes with toppers.
Figures of toy animals - tigers, lions, giraffes and zebras can be placed everywhere. They perfectly decorate the table, candy bar and serve as toys.
You can place treats in groups on the sweet table. Separately, cupcakes, candies, cookies, desserts in the form of ice cream in glaze on sticks. The original presentation is on stands made from a cut of wood, with an animal figurine placed in the center of each circle. The result is zoning into “islands” of each animal, which present their treats.
Decorations on treats should also match the decor of the room. These are also figurines of safari and jungle animals, carved leaves of vines, monstera and palm trees, figured prints with the numbers of the birthday person or his name.
The cake was decorated in a very original way. A tall, smooth cake with a laconic white glaze is decorated with an elephant, a zebra and a lion on top, as well as an inscription on the topper. The cake was decorated vertically with an appliqué of green leaves, creating a real liana. A giraffe is attached to the bottom of the plate, and toy figurines of tigers are located under a high stand, right on the table.
It’s a great idea not to use one solid table for sweets, but to make islands - tall transparent stands that are placed in a group. creative and unusual!
The place for a photo shoot of the birthday boy is in the thick of things. His “wild style year” turned out to be cute and very funny. Wild animals and thickets did not create an overload of colors and elements, as they were used pointwise and in a single collection.
On the floor you can place a composition of white balls decorated with green vines. This is a great area for gifts. Moreover, gifts can be given not only to the birthday boy, but also to his guests.
A small wooden stand with soft toys is decorated with the inscription “adopt an animal” in a frame. This is a corner with souvenirs, where everyone can choose a toy as a souvenir.
Balls also decorate the lower part of the room. Colorfully placed on the floor near the birthday boy’s chair, they fit perfectly into the frame during a photo shoot.
Another stand is a table with individually packaged souvenir treats. Each guest can be given a souvenir in a paper bag with tags and emblems of the Safari party. Here, for decoration, you can place the attributes of a jungle explorer - a helmet and binoculars. These will serve as party game accessories.
A perfectly organized and tastefully prepared celebration will definitely please the guests and will be remembered for a long time. And the baby will not be able to forget this colorful atmosphere thanks to the bright pictures in the album after the holiday.

Of course, you can also buy the most ordinary banner, but it’s better to stock up on decorative paper with prints of African animals and cut out the name of the birthday person or the inscription “Happy Birthday!” from it.

Party scenario
Attention, the party has begun. Guests arrive, are greeted by adults (parents or older brothers/sisters in medical uniform), and each is given a preventive pill against malaria. The pills can be simple tick-tock lollipops, you just need to decorate them with an interesting sticker, for example, “from Dr. Pilyulkin Antimalarynchik.”
Moreover, in Africa, in addition to malaria, a disease such as yellow fever can occur, so the nurses also attach a “Yellow Fever” patch to each guest.

- Welcome young expedition scientists, today we are going on a serious business, a safari! Who knows what a safari is? (children's answers). Of course, but a safari is not always just hunting, it is also exciting travel, educational excursions to the world of Africa untouched by human hands. Today we offer you not just to relieve boredom on a safari, but to make several scientific discoveries.
But today one important circumstance became clear! It's your chief scientist's birthday today! He was ___ years old. So, gentlemen scientists, let's celebrate the birthday???
Children's answers.
Leading:
But Africa has its own laws and one of them says: “Kalduka bararuka kiromanoruka”, which means in Russian “First do the job - and then walk boldly.” What does this mean? We have to complete several tasks from this African list. And our reward will be a hint where to find the birthday boy’s gift and a place where a lot of goodies and sweets are hidden.
Guys, gentlemen scientists, are you ready? Then go ahead!!!
After these words, the presenter gives either the children or the main birthday boy a list of tasks. They read them carefully and complete them one by one. The presenter is a coordinator, helps, manages the process. The reward for each correctly completed task from the leader is a totem.
The totem is an element/piece of the puzzle. Once all the pieces are assembled, the puzzle should ultimately form an image of an animal. After the children have guessed what kind of animal it is, they look for it around the apartment. In the place where they see this drawing again, there is a hiding place for a gift.
If you offer 6 tasks, then the picture needs to be cut into 6 parts.
Tasks:
- My home is my castle. Set up your camp.
- Do you know? Let's test your knowledge about tourism...
- Journey to the savannah.
- Oh, who is this? Oh, what is this? Guess all the animals.
- How African animals live: their habits, lifestyle and much more. Explore!
- The road home through the gorge of snakes.
Table setting
Nowadays there are many different cutlery depicting wild animals of hot countries. So here, the task is simplified. But the opportunity to show originality remained. Use a basic color scheme on the table. Add a striped tablecloth. And so that the goodies don’t get lost among the stripes, use contrast - cover the top with a plain napkin or vice versa, let the napkin be striped and the tablecloth plain. Wicker baskets, trays or plates for candy will look good on such a table. Place small and large toys on the table.
And, of course, the cake will not leave children indifferent. Animals in any design will cause delight.
DIY binoculars
What item is needed in the jungle? Of course, binoculars! But our binoculars at the festival will not be quite ordinary, they will have pleasant, tasty surprises inside.
To make your own binoculars you will need: cardboard toilet paper rolls, black soft cardboard, scissors and glue.
Wrap the sleeves in black cardboard and secure with glue. Cover one side of the bushings with white paper. Shape the bushings into a binocular shape using strips of black cardboard.
Glue all the parts together.
Attach black string to your homemade binoculars.
Now you can fill your binoculars with sweet treats and small gifts.
Give these binoculars to your guests when they come to visit you and they will instantly plunge into the atmosphere of the mysterious and dangerous jungle.
