It’s an excellent way for kids to get messy, explore their creativity, and get hyped up on sugary treats that they’ve made themselves! 

You can turn it into a competition, or simply spend the day baking and decorating cupcakes. The cleanup won’t be great, but it will be worth it.

4. Glamping Experience

What child doesn’t like to roast marshmallows on the fire and tell ‘scary’ stories by torchlight? Set up a glam camping experience in your backyard to take a simple camping experience to a whole other level. 

Provide delicious party food and drinks, a supervised campfire, and some tents with fluffy pillows and blankets. 

If you want to step it up a notch, run an extension with a TV for an outdoor cinema experience. 

5. Circus Party

Get the goofy, creative, and magical juices flowing with a fun circus-themed party. You can turn your backyard into a carnival, with different games and activities.

Allow the party-goers to learn some basic acrobatics, poi moves, or magic tricks. The opportunities are endless and it’s bound to be a day that your birthday girl or boy will never forget!
