Organising a kids’ garden party is a great idea for celebrating Summer-time birthdays or bringing everyone together during the school holidays. We believe that setting a theme will help everything else fall into place. To get you started, we have come up with some kids’ garden party ideas that promise to keep your little ones entertained for hours.
The handy thing about hosting an outdoor party – especially when it comes to kids – is, it keeps all the mess out of the house, while also providing you with extra space to get creative.
Like most parents, you’ll want to throw the ultimate event – so planning is key!
Camping
This is a great outdoor party idea if your little one is adventurous and loves spending time in nature.
Set the scene with a tent and ask everyone to bring a sleeping bag with them. With the good weather on your side – hopefully – make a circle just outside of the tent and create seating using the sleeping bags.
Then, with adult supervision, let the fun begin.
Start the day off with an activity such as building a bug hotel or citrus bird feeder, followed by some delicious s’mores round the campfire – or firepit if you prefer the easier option.
Festival
Everyone loves a festival – making this a great kids garden party idea. Though it’s a great theme for adults too!
Colourful décor such as bunting and balloon arches are a must. As for the all-important music – will you go down the live entertainment route and have the kids perform? A pergola will make for the perfect stage.
A burger van is a crowd-pleaser at a festival, so fire up the BBQ and dot some picnic tables around the garden.
Finally, got some mini–V.I.Ps to impress? Dressing up a plastic or wooden playhouse will make for the perfect chill out spot.
