Summer Party Themes That Kids Will Love

This post is courtesy of our contributor Elizabeth...Planning a summer party but struggling with theme ideas? We have some unique summer party themes for kids plus fun ways to have a creative twist on a popular party theme.

Bubble Party:

Looking for a fun activity for a bubble-themed party? You don’t even need a party for this fun activity, it will keep the kids busy for hours. A bubble wrap dance floor will have you questioning your own age!

This simple and inexpensive activity takes just minutes and pennies to pull off. Grab some bubble wrap from that package you just got or at your local dollar store and tape it to the floor. A hard surface works best. Play your favorite music and dance your little heart out. Oh! And don’t forget to invite the kids to join.

Playground Party:

Spend a day at the park with a playground themed party! The activity is taken care of for you with the playground equipment. Parents will thank you for how worn out their kids are by the end of the party.

How about some ice cream cones that won’t melt? Bake cupcakes in ice cream cones, cool and frost! Setting the cones in a cupcake tin to let the cupcakes bake helps prevent tipping. No time to bake your own? Just remove the paper and place the store bought cupcakes inside ice cream cones. Don’t forget the sprinkles!

Camping Party:

Spend all day in the great outdoors or your own backyard with a camping party. Campfires, s’mores and scavenger hunts, the activity options are endless. Send your guests home with a snack at the “Take a Hike” trail mix bar. Trail mix is a great party favor and the kids will love choosing their own favorite ingredients. Some favorites are mini marshmallows, M&Ms and Teddy Grahams. Try my personal favorite – mini Swedish Fish!
