Invitations
Let's start with the invitations. What should they be? for invitations ; you can draw ridiculous pictures yourself, just like children would do.
The main thing is that the invitations for a children's themed party are bright and colorful. You can attach some kind of sweet to the cards, for example, a lollipop, a caramel figurine, and so on.
The text can be written in the form of comic verses, written in children's handwriting, or used in different colors of pencils. When the invitations are ready, you can deliver them yourself or with the help of someone to the invitees.
You can organize a party in oriental style.
Traveling the world... in absentia
Unlike “pirate” parties, feasts tied to a particular country or people are always distinguished by a certain cognitive background. Children don't just have fun. They become familiar with the culture of a particular area.
will be bright and cheerful .
What makes it different from others? Guests coming to the birthday party find themselves in virtual Hawaii. The venue is in bright colors, balls, garlands, birds, greenery. Each arriving child is given a previously prepared wreath of bright paper flowers (you can use napkins or crepe paper) and is greeted with the Hawaiian “Aloha!”
Bright food, fruits and juices prevail on the menu. Among the games are the inheritance of wild animals (“Crocodile”, “Who Screams”, “An Animal Lives in Hawaii”), competitions “Turtle Races”, “Butterflies and Flowers”, costume fashion shows.
Great music for Hawaiian dances:
For boys, a holiday in the style of the Indians is suitable - with war paint, mohawks, musical material and games in the spirit of “Westerns”. The room should be decorated in the style of the Wild West.
A cowboy party like this could turn out to be a colorful one. Wide-brimmed hats on the participants, meat and vegetables on the table, moving relay races and competitions, music and dancing from JACK DANIEL'S and COUNTRY SISTERS - this is what will make the party truly cowboy!

Costume
Particular attention should be paid to the choice of clothing. It is the choice of the right clothes suitable for a given theme that will help create the right atmosphere for a children's party. The image of a small child or toddler is very popular at such holidays. For girls, these are bright dresses, short sundresses and skirts. Don't forget about bows, knee socks, and other children's decorations for little girls. For men, these are shorts, T-shirts, maybe with images of cartoon characters, sneakers or sandals. As for accessories, you can add a tie, bow tie, and suspenders to your look.
Also at children's parties, images of fairy-tale characters are common, for example, Pinocchio, Snow White with a retinue of dwarves, Carlson in the company of the Kid, and the three little pigs. You can make these costumes yourself or rent them. Just imagining your guests, who, regardless of their age, will come to your holiday in such outfits, makes you smile. Also take care of your guests, prepare accessories such as paper caps for their heads, ears, bibs, baby pacifiers, bottles, rattles.
How to decorate a room?
Now let's talk about decorating the room where your holiday will take place.
It doesn’t matter what it is - a rented hall in a club, or a small room. No children's party is complete without balloons . You can attach them to the ceiling and walls, make various figures out of them, tie a person sitting to each chair, and simply scatter them on the floor. Make various colorful garlands from colored paper and make some crafts. Don't forget about your favorite cartoon and fairy tale characters. Various children's toys, soap bubbles, buckets and scoops will not go unnoticed in your design.
Decorate the tables with bright napkins, colorful dishes, don’t forget about straws for drinks and bright paper or plastic cups. Particular attention should be paid to the menu. To begin with, you can play a prank on your guests and offer them, for example, semolina porridge or cottage cheese casserole as the main dish.
If you don’t want to prank your guests like this, then be responsible about filling the table. Of course, such a party would not be complete without sweets and fruits. A buffet table is perfect. You can scatter candy on the table, build pyramids of cakes, cookies, tubes of condensed milk, put fruit on the table using multi-tiered vases, bottles of sparkling water, compote. For such a party, order a cake, for example, in the form of a pacifier, bib or baby cap. The choice of main courses, alcoholic drinks, and snacks depends entirely on your preference. And don’t forget about all the kids’ favorite treat - ice cream.

Scenery
1. The morning party in kindergarten begins with balloons - bright, multi-colored, hanging on the ceiling and walls, lying right on the floor. It’s easy to make figures of animals, butterflies, etc. from balls.
2. We will make garlands from paper or candy wrappers - in triangles or rings, just like then. Garlands in the shape of nipples, girly bows or boats will add ambience.
3. Don’t forget the heroes of our childhood (drawings, cut-outs or toys) - the cat Leopold, Cheburashka and the crocodile Gena, the hare and the wolf from the cartoon “Well, wait a minute!” etc.
4. Tumbler, cubes, soap bubbles, doll houses, soldiers and cars - any children's toys and their images can be used to decorate the room, create individual compositions and as elements of table setting.
5. Ask your friends - perhaps someone still has a collection of inserts , chips or small things made from chocolate eggs. It will be a real exhibition!
Children's themed party scenario
And finally, you need to think through your holiday scenario down to the smallest detail, from musical accompaniment to various competitions. Music for your holiday must include children's works; these can be songs from Soviet cartoons and fairy tales, folklore. To this music you can dance in a round dance, dance children's dances, for example, the Dance of the Little Ducklings.
If there is karaoke, then you can sing children’s songs in chorus, for example, Chunga-Changa, It’s fun to walk together, and so on. There should be enough competitions so that none of your guests are bored or uninterested. Absolutely everyone can be involved in such a competition as the best party dress, the choice of Miss and Mister party. The winner can be chosen by secret ballot, or this opportunity can be provided in honor of whom this entire holiday is organized.

Party competitions
We will tell you in more detail about several competitions that are relevant for this themed party.
An analogue of the children's game “broken phone”
For this competition, you need to divide the guests into 2 teams and line them up so that the previous player looks at the back of the next player’s head. The last players need to be shown a simple picture, their task is to draw this picture with their finger on the back of the one standing in front of him, and so on, until it is the turn of the first in the chain. He is already drawing a picture on paper. The team whose drawing is most similar to the original wins. Prizes in such a competition can be felt-tip pens, pencils, coloring books, sketchbooks, and paints.
With baby bottles on
For this competition you will need to purchase identical baby bottles from the store. To make the competition more challenging, buy bottles with the smallest holes to make them harder to drink from. Fill the bottles with some kind of drink and distribute them to the participants. The winner is the one who empties his bottle the fastest. You can reward the winner with a bottle of champagne.
“You are like this/you are like this”
To participate in such a competition, you will need to choose one woman and two men, or vice versa, one man and two women. The idea of the competition is that two representatives of the same sex take turns giving compliments. To complicate such a competition, you can, for example, designate the letter with which the words should begin. The one who doesn't find the right compliment first loses. And the winner dances with the third participant in the competition, who received pleasant words.
The pajama party is just as bright and fun!
"Ocean is shaking"
Any number of invitees can take part in this competition. One player is selected, whose task will be to turn his back to the others and say - The sea is worried once, the sea is worried two, the sea is worried three, the sea figure freezes in place. The task of the remaining participants in this competition is to depict a figure during this time; for example, you can indicate that it will be an animal. The main player will have to guess who portrayed whom. The one whose figure is the last one to be solved wins. The reward in this entertainment can be a plush toy.
You can offer guests a huge number of favorite children's games . You can have a sack race, or tie your legs to see who can carry a full glass of water or an egg in a spoon the fastest. You can tie a pencil to your belt on a cord and see who can get it into a bottle faster without helping themselves with their hands, who can run faster with a ball between their legs, who can burst the most balloons blindfolded, who can eat porridge faster.
Also, invite your guests to write down a funny incident from their childhood on a piece of paper, and try together to figure out who it happened to. Have your guests bring along a photo of themselves as a child and then try to guess who is in the photo.
Give your guests various quizzes - to guess which cartoon the music is from, the hero of which work in the picture. Hold competition . Let anyone stand on a chair and recite any children's poem. You can also arrange creative duels - mold a figure from plasticine, cut or make something out of paper. The winners will be chosen by your guests by voting. Gifts can be the same creative sets - plasticine, multi-colored paper, children's scissors.
The main advantage of such a holiday is that it is suitable for any audience. Whether they are young or already quite respectable people. You can safely take your children with you to such an event. They certainly won’t be bored here, and they will find something to do to their liking. After all, all competitions and games for a children's party are taken from your childhood, so children can safely take part in competitions on an equal basis with adults. The imagination for organizing such a holiday has no limits. The main thing is to plunge into the world of childhood. Remember what joyful moments there were in childhood, what games they played, what they were happy about. During the holiday, forget all your problems and disappear into the atmosphere. This holiday will allow you to relax and have fun. And undoubtedly, this will be remembered for a long time.
Children's party - for adults. How we celebrated our daughter's birthday
The first time the idea of making a children's party for adults came to me when Stella Elizabeth was one year old. We already understood that we would have to celebrate in two stages - for the child himself and for the guests, whom, by the way, the child did not tolerate very well at that time. There were a lot of guests - firstly, relatives (from grandmother to second cousin), secondly, friends (starting from classmates) and their spouses, and thirdly, friends whom we met on a website about children during pregnancy. And, to be honest, they somehow accepted my strange idea without much enthusiasm - it’s good that I didn’t consult with everyone, otherwise I would never have decided.
My husband supported me, he is a cheerful man and a child at heart, thank him very much.
First of all, we read all the possible scenarios for children's parties on the Internet and realized that we needed to start with decorating the room and table. We didn’t bother with the room for long - in mid-December we can safely decorate the Christmas trees (and we had 5 of them - from the largest one under the ceiling to a tiny tabletop one with lighting), hang garlands and traditional newspapers on the walls.
The idea for the table was given by numerous American films - a bright tablecloth and napkins with bears, disposable elegant dishes with butterflies and hearts (boys and girls have different plates), multi-colored cocktail straws, and most importantly - caps, masks, straws, squeakers and pipers near each plate !
Most of all, I was worried about the guests - what if they didn’t accept this whole colorful table at all (the dishes were quite traditional), but everything went surprisingly smoothly. The guests quickly put on masks of dogs, cats and bunnies, laughingly took apart the squeakers and pipes and rushed to enthusiastically try out their capabilities.
It was then that it turned out that, it turns out, many people had been interested in how all these things worked, and one mother even quietly tidied up the extra beepers after her sons’ birthday and tried them out in her spare time.
Of course, an adult holiday means champagne, wine and traditional toasts. I myself would probably have been offended if my friends hadn’t raised a glass to my daughter’s health and my maternal patience. But as part of the children's party, they managed to play up this moment with a wig, so there was no unnecessary pathos - it’s hard to be pathetic when you’re wearing a clown’s outfit. The wig quickly changed hands, and for the first time it was possible to avoid embarrassment, crowding under the table and some vague tension when people understand that they should “make a speech”, but are either embarrassed, or simply do not know what else can be said under the sun.
The fun quickly reached the stage where everyone wanted to dress up in something else. At first, the guests unanimously took on the Christmas trees, since they provided ample scope for creativity, then they switched to cats. One of the cats was smarter and hid in advance, the other was caught and decorated together.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to foresee much the first time. For example, it didn’t occur to me to buy children’s gifts for all the guests - and large balloons in the shape of birds and animals were given only to those leaving who had little ones waiting for them at home. Next year, I already decided to buy keychains, figurines and plush toys to give a gift to everyone.
