A jungle-themed party for kids can be creative and inexpensive. Decorations can be homemade, such as vines and leaves made from paper, and food can include trail mix and gummi worms. Games like ‘pin the elephant’s tail’ and jungle charades can be adapted to the theme.
A jungle-themed party can be a great idea for kids who love animals, the outdoors, or the rainforest. There are many ways to throw such a party and it can be inexpensive and creative. A jungle-themed party offers plenty of opportunities for creativity in terms of decor, food served, and games; for example, you can make a jungle-themed cake with a tiger’s face, or you can decorate a sheet cake with plastic trees and jungle animals. The decor can be store-bought or homemade, although it’s easy enough to make jungle vines, leaves, or even small trees with a few streamers, construction paper, and cardboard tubes.
Many people start their jungle themed party with invitations. “Passports” are a popular choice, which can easily be made by folding a card in half and writing the details on it. Some parents also suggest giving children “stamps” in their passports when they arrive at the party or complete certain activities, such as playing games.
Decorating a jungle themed party can be simple too. It may be possible to find pre-made jungle-themed decorations at party stores, but if not, there are a number of other options. Fabric stores can be a great place to find jungle-themed fabrics, and a large piece can be purchased to use as a tablecloth or as a backing for a game. Paper streamers and large rolls of cardstock are also inexpensive and can be used to give your party a very festive feel. Many people choose to simply make “vines” by cutting long strips of paper and then attaching homemade leaves to them.
Food at a jungle themed party can be kept for the outdoor travel idea; Trail mix is a popular choice, but make sure no children have nut allergies. Gummi worms or “grits,” made from cookie crumbles and chocolate pudding, are great, fun choices that are very popular with kids. Fruit punch is popular; Cut pieces of fruit floating in it, like carambola, can give it a nice tropical feel.
Games are also fun at a jungle themed party. Many popular games can simply be adapted to a jungle theme, such as ‘pin the elephant’s tail’, for example, rather than the more common ‘pin the donkey’s tail’. Jungle charades are also a favourite, where each child will have to act out a certain animal while the other children try to guess what it is.
