Butterfly Theme PartyPretty and sweet, a butterfly theme party is perfect for a tea party or little girl's birthday. The butterfly theme never goes out of style. There are tons of games and activities that center around this theme. So planning your little girl's birthday party is a cinch! With any theme, whether it's puppies, cupcakes, or butterflies, everything should reflect the theme. In other words, choose invitations with butterflies. Make a butterfly shaped cake or butterfly cookies, and select party games that capture the butterfly. Butterfly Party SweetsBut, if a butterfly shaped cake has you in a flutter, there are other ways to bring the butterfly theme into your cake decorating. The most simple idea is to purchase butterfly candles to adorn a plain cake. Need an even simpler option? Bake cupcakes and place a small butterfly party favor on top of each one.
Butterfly shaped cookies are a fun kids party idea. Purchase a butterfly shaped cookie cutter (see shop below). Bake the cookies ahead of time or get the girls in the kitchen to help bake cookies. The real fun comes in the decorating. Ahead of tiem, prepare simple sugar cookie icing from powdered sugar and a few drops of water. Create several cups of icing and color each one with a drop of food coloring. Provide food grade paintbrushes so that children may color their cookies. Give the cookies ample time to dry and place them in a clear cellophane bag so that children can take them home as party favors. Butterfly Theme Party GamesI don't know a single four-year-old who doesn't love a pinata. There's such anticipation: "How much candy will I get?" "When will it break?" Butterfly Pinatas Children of all ages love pinatas. Because the butterfly theme party is so popular, butterfly pinatas are readily available (see below). You can get a pinata for dozens of kids birthday party themes. It's a sure bet when it comes to kids party games. Butterfly Craft Projects Craft projects are also another popular activity for the butterfly theme party. Great crafts include making butterfly necklaces and bracelets, painting butterfly sun catchers, and making butterfly masks. You can purchase kits for these activities. If you're crafty, you can creative butterfly craft kits yourself from items you may already have plus a trip to your local craft store. Here's one craft project that's really fun to create! Make butterfly wings that the children can wear. This project works best for kids older than 8. You'll need lots of ribbon, wire coat hangers, duct tape, clear tape and colored tissue paper. Create the wing forms before the party. Use two wire coat hangers per pair of wings. You can also use 4 hangers if you're very creative. Bend the coat hangers to resemble wings. Duct tape the hooks of the coat hangers together so that they are securely fastened. Tie two long ribbons around the center of the duct taped area. These ribbons should be long enough to reach from the child's back and tie in front of the shoulders. Kids can decorate their wings by taping (or gluing) colored tissue paper over the forms. Supervision will be needed. If you're brave and want to provide glitter and other decorations, go for it! Face painting and butterfly tattoos are another fun activity. Face painting is easiest when you have a kit and stencils. But, butterflies are simple to draw, so you can "wing" it! Older kids may enjoy stenciling and tattooing each other. There are several kits to choose from in the butterfly theme party shop below. Butterfly Theme Party SuppliesRelated Pages: Return from Butterfly Theme Party to Childrens Birthday Party Themes. |
