Okay, some kids just aren’t that into trademark characters. On the other hand, maybe your child is so over a once beloved character and hasn’t moved on to a new favorite yet. So, how are you going to come up with a cool theme for his or her upcoming birthday party?
First, you can incorporate your child’s favorite color(s). Then, consider going with Zoo Pals tableware, which includes plates, bowls, cups, flatware, and even slide-lock bags that feature these zoo favorites.
Each package comes with an assortment of animals, so you can either do a mix of animals and bright colors, or you can use these items to create a circus theme, a zoo theme, or even a Noah’s Ark theme.
You may even be able to find tablecloths and napkins that represent one of these themes, and you can simply add them to your Zoo Pals items. If you can’t find themed items, you can choose tablecloths and napkins and things in bright colors or let your child pick out the color(s).
Now, simply change the typical party games and relays to include the types of animals depicted on the tableware. One real easy way to do this is to staple a Zoo Pals plate to a piece of cardboard and then draw a body in place (or staple the plate over the donkey’s face on a standard pin the tail on the donkey game board). Cut tails from fabric or paper that matches the animal you chose for this game.
Most small children will love this idea, and even bigger kids will like it if they are animal lovers. It’s a simple, affordable, fun way to come up with an instant theme. The best part is you can find Zoo Pals at nearly any grocery store or super center, so you won’t be running around looking for themed items, and you won’t have to pay shipping for specially ordered products.
Have Fun!
