A wild animal party is a great theme for your child's next birthday, letting kids express their passion and admiration for wild life. Kids can share their knowledge of favorite animals with their friends. Parents and children together will enjoy preparing for the wild animal birthday party. Start with handmade invitations using colored cardboard in the shapes of safari animals like elephants, lions, tigers, and monkeys. Ask guests to bring along a plush animal toy they love most or even dress up like them. Decorate your party room and backyard slide, swing set, or trampoline with pictures or cardboard cutouts of animals. Green, brown, and yellow balloons with pictures or shapes of animal will transform your room into a jungle. Surround the room with stuffed animals, some hanging from the wall, ceiling, and furniture. Throw in some background music by playing the soundtrack of a popular jungle theme movie. Let kids build their own pizzas by stamping out pizza dough using animal shaped cookie cutters. You can serve cupcakes with do-it-yourself icing, marshmallows, chocolate, sprinkles, jelly-beans, pretzel sticks, and cookies to create animal faces. At the party, everyone can describe their wild animal, including name, habitat, and prey. For activities, children can play a variation of "Simon Says" to behave like their favorite animal. The younger ones will enjoy coloring pictures of animals. Let children create their own animal crafts using colored paper, crayons, pipe cleaner, and magnets. Girls always enjoy making bracelets with beads and animal charms. Wrap it up with brown goody bags filled with animal shaped candies, stickers, notepads, and pencils with animal shaped erasers. A wild animal party is a fun and exciting way for your kids to enjoy and learn about the world they live in. Let them bring out their inner animal instincts with this fun party theme and “go bananas.”
